This blog is devoted to the best pieces of advice I got before Andrew and I got married...
On a relational level: My dad told us that when arguing neither one of us is the problem. We have to figure out what the problem is and solve it.We have said this to each other when arguing :) It works!!!
On a "save my sanity" level: My mom told me to pick my battles. Some things are just not worth the argument. I really do try!!
On a practical level: Mallory told us to plan our menus for the week and grocery shop accordingly! This has saved us a ton!
For fun: Mr. Chastain told Andrew that if he didn't treat me right then the whole town of Greensboro would be after him! :) So far so good!
Maybe you can add some good pieces of advice you heard before you got married or maybe you've been married long enough to add some more good tips to my list!
Give up the thought of solving every battle you pick before you go to bed! Sometimes it's easier to see what's right in front of your face after a good night's sleep. Ephesians 4:26 says, "In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry. So don't go to bed angry, but decide to put whatever is troubling you aside until the morning. It's amazing how many problems amount to almost nothing in the light of day! And above all else, Give it to God! I love you! Ashley
