We celebrated 8 years this year...Happy anniversary! We celebrated 8 years this year, too! I didn't have any concrete expectations, but one thing that did surprise me was how complicated things could get with extended families. Since we spent our first 2 years of marriage in Switzerland, no one meddled in our business. Then we moved back to the US and we were shocked by everyone's ... input!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053020814428192067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556494314801577420.post-62632314397743219732016-07-08T11:17:41.370-07:002016-07-08T11:17:41.370-07:00It's way more than a piece of paper.

It really gives meaning to it all once you've experienced it. xoLindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836394671525240199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556494314801577420.post-77315068161003200512016-07-08T11:16:27.721-07:002016-07-08T11:16:27.721-07:00DEFINITELY.

I do...I agree, it felt very abstract going into it! I don't know if I really had any expectations…well I'm sure I did, but I can't articulate them. It's our 4 year anniversary this August and one of the things that I didn't predict was just how hard it could be/how low our feelings could get during certain challenges and how committed we each were/are to walking through that with one another. Yes, we said it all in our vows but until you actually walk through the 'for worse' part, its hard to comprehend. Marriage has truly been such a gift for me, and I was someone that was initially against it and thought it was just a 'piece of paper'! It has really shown me the true meaning of love, commitment and the depth of human relationships. ~KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556494314801577420.post-6075239739909615162016-07-07T13:00:51.360-07:002016-07-07T13:00:51.360-07:00Funny I JUST ran to that episode of TAL and found ...Funny I JUST ran to that episode of TAL and found that part so refreshing. In what ways are you crazy? Also LOL at When is he going to go home?<br /><br />I feel like a more appropriate question (for me) would be what did you expect married life with kids to be.
