23 Healthy Marriage Memes About the Expectations vs Realities of Marriage and Family

Marriage is… complex. On the one hand, you want to preserve the honeymoon phase as long as humanly possible because it's exciting and infatuating. On the other hand, though, you want to begin the rest of your life with your partner as soon as possible. That means, at some point, you'll find out that they snore when they sleep on their backs and forget to flush sometimes (hopefully, very infrequently). Either way, building a life with someone means understanding their quirks and pet peeves and trying to navigate through them with grace and compassion. "Healthy" marriages don't look like only one kind of dynamic; There are so many unique facets of a marriage that might look different than what you originally thought it would look like! Loving is a learning experience, and we're all here on this planet to put our all into making our lives as meaningful as possible. So, learning to fall asleep to the sound of your husband's snores is first on a very long list of learning experiences… Keep learning about them below (and laugh while you do it).

Marriages teach us about ourselves just as much as it teaches us about our romantic partners. At the end of the day, we don't notice the things we do as much as others because we've likely been doing them all our lives. So, making space for some grace and understanding is key to a healthy marriage full of love and romance! However, don't waver if your husband thinks a healthy marriage looks like you doing the dishes after every meal… learning experiences include teaching them how to use the dishwasher!
