Andrew and I have officially been together, 365 days (well, technically 374 days). To some, this is nothing (shout out to my parents who are veterans at marriage- 23 years) but in our 3-month Kim Kardashian marriage, type of world, it’s something to certainly celebrate. Along this journey, I’m able to reflect on the things I’ve learned about myself and my relationship and want to share them with you !
- The Importance of God
The first thing I’ve learned is that a relationship without GOD is nothing. Many times, in life, I’ve attempted to do things on my own, only to realize that something was missing, because I failed to include God. I knew that my relationship wasn’t going to, not include HIM. It was important to me, to find someone with the same Christian values as myself. How could I even expect a man to love me, if he doesn’t love God? It simply wouldn’t work. Andrew and I worship together and try to implement reading and discussing the Bible, which may spiral into a conversation, but we do try to actively involve Christ to flow throughout our relationship. I’m finding that the closer we move towards God, the closer we become.
- Balance
Secondly, I’ve learned the struggle of balancing my social life. I’ve never wanted to be one of those girls who completely shut her girlfriends out because she found a boyfriend because before you know it feelings are hurt and relationships change. I thank God, we both have jobs and lives outside of each other to keep us busy! I’m still trying to juggle the balance; family, friends, and boyfriend. Things have certainly gotten more difficult adding an extra important person to my life but with the proper communication, I’m managing.
- Communication
Speaking of communication, this is such a key in ANY successful relationship. I’ve learned that communication does not always mean speaking, but listening and being honest. Expressing our needs and feelings in a positive manner to each other, has created a solid foundation for resolving conflicts and building a healthy relationship, helping us to last this long and hopefully a future!
- 4. Compromise
Learning how to stand your ground and compromise, at the same time!! We are both the type of individuals who want, what we want and exactly, when we want it. We both, also, have very strong opinions, but, someone must compromise. I’ve certainly learned that the world does not revolve around Bhrianna (I knew this before, but being in a relationship has certainly solidified that fact). It’s important for me to know when to stand my ground, and what I will to tolerate and when its ok to back down. I’m gotten so used to having my way, but things change when someone else has to be considered.
I hope you all enjoyed reading.
Please comment below on some life lessons you’ve learned in your past/current relationships!
With love,
Miss Bhrianna
