Before we got married, my wife would spend an hour getting ready for our dates.

Now, if she brushes her hair before we leave the house, I know it's a special occasion.

Marriage is often described as a school, where you're constantly learning.

And the most important lesson you learn early on is that 'I'm sorry' can sometimes be translated as 'I love you... now please explain what I did wrong again?'

Planning our wedding seating chart felt less like organizing a party and more like preparing for a delicate diplomatic summit.

We needed to establish a demilitarized zone between my outspoken aunt and his politically opinionated cousin, and frankly, bring in a UN peacekeeping force for the kids' table.

I used to think 'finding yourself' was a journey of self-discovery.

Then I got married and realized it's mostly a journey of finding the remote control after my wife's been using it.
