She had her husband do it, but since Jason isn't here...I'll be doing my side
Our Wedding Day 1st Year of Marriage
1) How old were you when you got married?
22
2) Do you think that was a good age to get married? Why? Why not?
Yes, many reasons-I had moved out of my parents house when I was 20 years old, I gained that responsibly to live on my own and to start learning about the real world. Also, I had dated a lot to know more about myself and to know more about who I want to marry. There was one guy who stood out the most that made me think more about my husband. Once I saw Jason and knew more about him I knew that he was the perfect one for me.
3) What is the happiest memory you have relating to your marriage?
There are a lot, but going on vacations with each other or go on date nights.
4) What qualities do you think are most important for a happy marriage?
Communication, Friendship, Trust, oh and PASSION!! (and I mean sex--yes I said it, but hey it's true!!)
5) What advice would you give to someone who wasn't certain whether to marry a particular person?
I had this advice as I was deciding to go on a mission or stay home, with someone who had the same experience as I did, along with one of my now sister in-laws. "Imagine you're in the MTC, are you going to constantly thinking about him?" Also, my husband and I tell people this, get to know each other more-gain that friendship first, maybe try and see things in different situations that they may react differently. When dating and being engaged-you won't see those qualities that your partner has until you are married, like being hard working-it's hard. My husband and I had the tough end of the stick. Including being apartment managers right when we got married.
6) What is the most important quality for a mate to possess?
Hard working and motivating (either to get out of bed or to keep this marriage alive)
7) Has your marriage changed over time? If so, how?
YES!! The first few months of marriage it was hard! We got into more arguments and we were just trying to get to know each other more, plus we were VERY lazy together. Now, we have less arguments, since we have already gone through them and talked it out and we are less lazy now a days, and, we give more to each other.
8) Is your marriage what you expected it to be?
Not quite....but at the same time yes, I knew it was going to be hard, I knew that the first year was going to be the hardest ever. But I also know that after the first year it will get easier and easier once 50 years comes along.
9) Have you experienced a crisis in your marriage?
HAHA!! His friend (who is more closer to my brother in-law, who had lived where we did but moved out to Arco once Jason and I got married) Yeah....he was the major crisis in our marriage. My husband being a very kind and friendly kind of guy and don't know how to end the conversation with this guy is hard when it's late at night and when it's getting late (IT'S TIME TO GO HOME!!) He's divorced and have kids (only for the weekend) Even that he still stays late. But it's gotten a lot better, but still needs a bit improvement.
10) What is the most important thing you have done in your marriage to keep it happy?
Take vacations together, letting each other do whatever we want to do. I let my husband enjoy his time with his friends whenever and however long.
11) What ideas have you disagreed on? How did you go about resolving them?
One that I remember so far, are pets....I want an inside dog, he wants an outside dog. We talked about it here and there. But since there won't be one for quite some time we kind of decided to discuss it more when we are actually thinking about getting one.
Fun! I'm glad you did this!
