Truth

I have found that anything anyone has ever told me about marriage to be true. Every advice that I have been given, every statement I have ever been told, every comment that has been made has ALL been true. Some of the information has come from seasoned veterans who are more than experienced when it comes to matters pertaining to marriage. Their advice comes from many years of trial and error. Some of the statements have come from others who are only one or two steps ahead of us in their journey through marriage. Their experiences are still fresh in their mind and the lessons recently learned. Others yet have been divorced, separated, or otherwise "burned" by the marriage experience. Their lessons were only learned after the fact. But no matter who we have heard the advice from, it still remains to be true.

The one piece of advice that echoes in my mind as the absolute truth above all that we have been told is when it is all said and done, it is ALL worth it. Every experience whether it yields a positive or negative outcome is worth it in the end.

Today ends life as you know it...

Brides or grooms often hear the night before they get married "Today ends life as you know it" which implies that life is over and there is a sense of remorse and regret in choosing to get married.

I have no remorse or regret about my decision to get married. My life as I knew it may have ended, but life as I dreamed it began on the day I got married.

Remember when you tell the bride or groom "Today ends life as you know it" also remind them that "Tomorrow begins life as you have always dreamed it."
