How's Married Life?

"How's married life?" When you first get married people ask you that question a lot. Not saying it's a bad thing... I've still been asking my newly wed friends the same things. It's just a question I don't exactly always know how to answer. Pretty much just like "How are you doing?" you're not always sure who wants to really know how you're doing and who just wants you to give them the one word answers and keep moving. So I feel like I answer the question "How's married life?" kinda awkward sometimes... Its like I panic and try to fit how I really feel about the last few months into a short little answer and that ends up coming out "Oh you know it's good.." Not very convincing sounding...? When really it's great I love being married, there's just also hard times. We've had our share of arguments trying to figure each other out now that we live together, I'm still not totally great at keeping the house clean but I am working on it, I've totally ruined biscuits, we're poor, and for two months neither of our cars had air conditioning now thankfully it's just down to one. All of these things are okay though, it's just things we have to work through. I still love being married, I love cooking for Jeff even though it doesn't always turn out how I wanted (he still ate the totally ruined biscuits anyways), I love that I have a husband who is kind and loving to me, I love that I have a husband who thinks I'm funny even though it might not always be for the same reasons I do, I love that I have a husband who I think is funny and makes me laugh often, most importantly I love that I have a husband who loves the Lord and wants us to go to church together every Sunday. Some of these things may seem like obvious usual things but honestly I feel like some of those are rare finds in my generation. So if you've asked me how married life was and I wasn't very convincing, it's great, we've had a few hard time but they are way out weighed by the great times. I love my husband and I love being married to my best friend.
