Please welcome Meagan of Mo Pie, Please...
Hello, everyone! I want to quickly say CONGRATULATIONS, Shannon, and also, thanks for having me while you're away making some incredible memories!
Recently, my husband and I celebrated our second wedding anniversary! It hardly seems like two years have passed since we said "I do" but times definitely flies when you're having fun. Even though we've been together for six-and-a-half years, I still can't really consider myself the kind of person to dole out advice on the subject of love. Before I met my husband, I had only been involved with a handful of men for a short amount of time and none of it was significant. But now I suppose I know a thing or two about successful relationships. So here goes nothing...
One of my favorite pieces of advice we received in our guest book was from my husband's littlest sister. She simply said, "kiss each other every night". I honestly couldn't agree more. There are some days that pass where the only kiss we give each other is that goodnight kiss. It is so important because it allows us to reconnect and go to bed happy.
Another important element in our relationship is the fact that we get along so well. We rarely bicker and when we do, it's usually my fault and I normally seem to know what I need to make it better (normally that is food!). He's learned to leave me alone but not to shy away too much. Sometimes I need a push in the right direction that only he can give me. Now I know this isn't the same with every other couple but the point of this is that it's mighty important to learn how the other one works and to be accommodating to their quarks.
I hope that because of these bits of advice, we'll all have happy, healthy and successful marriages that bring us all endless amounts of joy. Again, congratulations! Cheers to saying "I do".
