for better or worse

I have been told that the first year of marriage is the hardest.

Our first year of marriage was a breeze. So was our second year and our third. Our fourth year was great, too. Heading into our fifth is where we are heading into issues. Nothing that cannot be worked out mind you. We just are short with one another. Quick to snap. We get angry easily. The only thing that is different in our lives is J. I am not saying that J is the issue, just raising her has been more hectic and harder than we ever anticipated. Combine that with lack of sleep and you get two short fused parents. We never snap or get angry with her - you can't! Sometimes I wonder if we rushed into things. If we were too young. 27 doesn't seem too young to me, but maybe it was. Is.

Whatever the case, we are in it for the long haul. The anger and frustration is easily healed with an "I'm Sorry" and a kiss or three. For better or worse. Till death do us part. And we're serious about making this work.

Yep. All marriages go through cycles as the years go on. At least you guys are able to heal the hurts quickly. Just be sure not to let things fester too long without talking about them, even if it means bringing up things you'd rather not face. You'll be in another up cycle before you know it.
