You may remember today’s cute couple, Katelyn and Michael, from their Southern Newlywed post, where they graciously opened up their happy home to us and shared some of the ways they make their marriage work. Since they are celebrating their fourth anniversary in a few days (they were married on 10/10/10!), we figured there was no better time to share their advice from V6 in a Sweet Tea Sunday. Happiest anniversary, K + M!
We are high school sweethearts! We started dating when we were 15 and 17, so we had been together eight years exactly on the day we were married. After dating for so many years and growing up together, we thought we already knew everything about each other. We found out very quickly that we were wrong! Staying connected and learning about one another is something we have to work on constantly in our marriage, and it isn’t always easy! Katelyn’s dad officiated our ceremony and we remember him telling us that we have to decide every day to work on our marriage and put each other first. This isn’t always easy, but in the last few years, we have learned that his words are so true! In order to remember this on a daily basis, we have started getting up a little bit earlier in the mornings so that we can have some quiet time with each other (and our puppy!) on our front porch. We start as many days as possible this way, and it has done wonders for our marriage and our relationship with God!
