There's so many great things they tell you before you get married, like waking up next to the person you love, sharing everything together, and always having someone there.
What they don't tell you about are the little adjustments that take some serious getting used to. They don't tell you about the foot long hairs you'll find in your lunch at work, even though you packed your own lunch. You sit there dumbfounded as you wonder how they found their way in there. They don't tell you about someone else pulling the covers off of you during the night, or in some cases, trying to cover you by laying on top of you. And they don't tell you that everything you own will somehow be rearranged in the coming days. I had long accepted the fact that the bachelor furniture had to go, but simply could not have known that the plates "look much better on the right side of the cabinet", or that "the towels should really be one shelf higher". Ah, marriage is truly bliss.
Thus far, marriage has really been a learning experience for us. It's about relearning things about the other person that you thought you already knew. It's about learning their "isms" that make them who they are. And it's about remembering that no argument is really worth it, since one week from now it will be forgotten. I wouldn't trade it for the world.
