Celebrate!

Week 26

People like to celebrate and party it up. Your 6-month-iversary!!! Time to celebrate! Well, at least acknowledge it. Maybe go out to dinner or something. Give her a little card or gift if you feel so inclined. 

Be happy about your first half year as husband and wife. Sure, it is like the first step in a later reflection of a long marriage...but in the present it represents 100% of your marriage. Be thankful together for all that has happened.

After 6 months of marriage, Whitney and I had a LOT of learning to do...hey we still do. But we have come a long way from that point. Kids obviously impact that. But there is more to it than just them. 

Anniversaries are an easy way to stop and reflect. Think about what you have learned during this time. Learn from your mistakes by "failing forward." Continue to do the things that worked. Celebrate mini victories. Be thankful for more opportunities to be a part of one of God's greatest gifts to us: holy matrimony.

It takes work to plan a wedding

It takes a lifetime to build a marriage
