First night, first argument, first money spent of silly things – there are many unique experiences that happen for the first time in marriage before they repeat. So, you probably wonder what is on this list of marriage firsts.
Today, I will not only inspire you with the firsts that you probably haven’t checked yet, but also give you a funny list of marriage firsts – just print it and explore new experiences together! Let’s dive right in!
Obvious but oh so lovely list of marriage firsts
- first night – and please, do not worry if you got married some time ago and you are still in the stage of trying – it is more common than you think. Be patient – you will check this one from the list soon enough.
- first argument – whether it is about in-laws, money or dirty socks, it does hurt a lot. But it’s normal and needed so if you already checked that one, it’s great.
- first shock – you are shocked how he can sleep so much, how many dirty dishes can pile up in 16 minutes or that he does not let you have a puppy – the shock always comes and it is normal so check it from the list.
- first furniture change – you got a proper bed, exchanged the desk or painted the walls in the bathroom together – this was so exciting, wasn’t it?
Sweet list of marriage firsts that you should definitely try:
- first romantic weekend trip – oh it’s so lovely to go somewhere and focus on each other. It does not have to be far or expensive, do not worry
- project together – renovating the couch, daily devotionals or attending the gym together, pick anything that can potentially bond you two!
- first tradition – movie nights, cute coffee dates or praying before falling asleep together – the sooner you root the traditions, the more stable they will be in the future
- bigger responsibility – it does not have to be a puppy just yet, but hey, puppies are so cute, look at ours 🙂
- seating in the church as a married couple – oh my, it was so sweet when I could go to the church and seat next to my crush that was already my HUSBAND! I was so proud, I wanted everybody to see that we are married, that’s why I was putting my left hand into weirder and weirder positions for my wedding ring to be exposed.
