Newlywed School: Round II

why hello and welcome to Mrs. Day's Newlywed School!
who's ready for another round of Guess What We've Been Learning Lately? here we go, round two:

1. sometimes husbands have daily bouts with acid reflux and are unwilling to eat a piece of fruit instead of left over Beef Mess at 10pm. this can sometimes lead to "discussions" at said time.
2. sometimes wives talk to much. enough said.
3. MOST of the time, a wife's opinion is the most important thing to a husband. except when the wife thinks a certain pair of holey whitey-tideys should be thrown away. but every other time, wives can move mountains with their tongue. ....aaaand they know those underwear will be coming through the wash soon anyways...
4. sometimes marriage really is work. you really do have to be intentional and remember your spouse. life can get really busy, but you cannot forfeit some good face-time.
5. wives LOVE remembering the early days of marriage and waking up remembering that they are married. LOVE IT. especially when waking up next to their most favorite person is still the best.
6. sometimes, two God-fearing believers get married and have a hard time figuring out what their Jesus time is supposed to look like. Jesus is always good though, and NEVER fails to teach in spite of said couple.
7. ALWAYS be patient. in every moment of the day, there is something to choose to be patient about. ALWAYS choose it.
8. the term "Best Friend" takes a whole new/deeper meaning after a husband & wife say I Do. THE BEST.
9. husbands & wives MUST pray together. morning, day, and night. even if they're on stage leading worship. it means a lot to the wife for the husband to grab her hand, EVERYTIME.
10. husbands love it when wives tell other people they hate something (i.e. chocolate, pumpkin, The Santa Claus) that they don't really hate. NOT.
11. wives love when their husband works late everyday for a week. NOT. but "you gotta do whatchu gotta do." -Garrett Day
12. husbands and wives laugh ALOT.
13. you can learn all you want and study as much as you can about something but really, living it will teach you the most.
14. don't argue about money. dumbest thing in the world. it's not even yours to begin with. wives feel especially dumb when God does what he always does and PROVIDES. makes the whole argument meaningless.
15. if you're wondering if its creepy when a husband opens his eyes suddenly while he's been sleeping and stares at you with these tired, bloodshot emotionless eyes for a good while, it is.

tune in next time as we continue the discussion involving Acid Reflux and laundry! it's sure to be riveting!
