Think about your wedding day.

What were some of the feelings and emotions you were experiencing?

If you’re anything like me, I felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. Getting married was the day I had looked forward to ever since I was a little girl. Everything I did in life somehow related to this goal of finding my one true love and sealing our lives together for time and all eternity.

In my mind, August 19th, 2016 would forever go down as the moment I had finally arrived. I made it! I reached my ultimate goal!

Though it’s only been two short years since that day, it didn’t take me long to realize how wrong I was.

MARRIAGE IS NOT A DESTINATION.

It’s not about the wedding rings, the venue or the photographer. It’s not about what song you had your first dance to, or the flavor of the cake you smooshed in his face.

That stuff is only the beginning. It’s only the first step.

Marriage is everything that comes after all that!
