And Just Like That, We’ve Been Married 4 Years

If anyone had said to me about 8 years ago, oh you’ll be celebrating being married 4 years in 2018, I would have probably looked at them like they were ridiculous! I mean 17 year old me, really wasn’t interested in getting married, but I met someone that completely changed my mind and my life. It is so weird to say I’ve been married 4 years, I feel like it has gone so quickly and just like that in a blink of an eye, I’ve been Mrs Cadwallader for 4 years. I literally wouldn’t change a thing either, it’s been the best 4 years.

Being married has literally taught me so much, not just about myself but about where I want to be in my life. It is literally a life changing experience getting married – I’m not just saying that to be corny either.

I feel like being married has been one of the biggest rollercoasters but it’s a journey that I’m so grateful for!

I still remember the day I got married, I remember waiting to go into the room and almost crying with my Dad because I was so emotional. I was so ready to get married to this amazing man.

We have had so many ups and downs in our married life, but when you have someone by your side that understands you, loves you and supports you regardless – that is what I am beyond grateful for.

I actually wrote a bit of an in depth post back in 2016 all about our relationship so if you fancy getting to know us a little more including how Paul proposed & our first date you can read that here!

So like I said earlier what have I learned over 4 years of marriage?

Communication Is Key

It is so important to communicate with your partner, especially when something is wrong. I’ve always been a good communicator, although sometimes I don’t always think before I speak. It is one of my downfalls but it works for me.

If I don’t say something I literally just stew on it, and then it turns into a storm in a tea cup situation, and that is something that no one needs in their life.

Listen To Each Other

Now I’m the kind of person that believes I’m a pretty good listener, but sometimes even for me things go in one ear and out the other – sorry Paul. But listening to each other is so important, especially when you’re trying to see things from their point of view, I mean there are some things my husband doesn’t understand and some things that I don’t either, but we listen and learn from each other.

Don’t Give Up

Now I got married at 21, I actually wrote a blog post on it you can read that here, and people were like but you’re too young to be married, it won’t last 5 minutes.  But if I’m honest as long as you love each other and you’re willing to put in the work, it doesn’t matter about age. When things get tough, love even harder, that’s the reason you got married in the first place!

I’ve been so lucky and I’m eternally grateful for having this most amazing husband, especially when he saves me the last slice of pizza – that is true love even in itself if I’m honest! 4 years has literally flown by, but I genuinely can’t wait to spend forever with you – and I might even save you the last piece of pizza this time..
