One year of marriage! What have I learned?

• Make promises and keep them
• Ask for help and support; don’t expect it silently
• Help and support when asked
• Don’t expect ‘normal’ – no day is ever normal
• Enjoy the good times
• Talk about the bad times openly
• Cook together
• Seek out cheap date adventures for all occasions
• Make their friends your friends
• Budget day is fun when you share the same goals
• Expect a lot of advice and ignore most of it
