Half my life. That’s how long I’ve known my husband. Ten years is how long we’ve been pretty serious. Our son is five. Our marriage is young, three back in July. Ryan and I still work on our relationship every day.

When Maria asked me to write this blog, I knew immediately what to write about. I am a lover of quizzes - Buzzfeed can suck my life and tell me what my choice of carbs means (apparently I give great advice - how appropriate) and my H&M choices means I should be a zombie for halloween. So when I saw that there was a Love Languages quiz, of course I had my hubby take it with me.

This 30 question quiz taught us so much about how we feel loved. The quiz is very easy and quick to take. Even though we have been together for so long, we were both surprised by some of the answers we gave in the questions. The answers at the end made a lot of sense to us, but in some ways we never would have thought of these ways of showing love.

I would highly suggest all couples...

In a continuation of the "Advice from Not-So-Newlyweds" series, today I'm featuring Jess of Wedding Co. of Williamsburg, talking about what she's learned in 3 years of marriage - and 12 years into her relationship with her husband!

When I was asked to write a blog post about the biggest lesson I have learned in marriage so far, I chuckled and thought to myself, “where the heck do I begin?” Before writing this post, I had to think about the advice I had been given and stories I had been told. Just about everyone I know has said “Marriage is hard, it takes work,” or “Happy wife = Happy life” And while those are definitely true (definitely the second one, hubbies out there haha), I personally have learned 3 big lessons in the first 3 years of our marriage. But before I share those with you let me share with you our little love story...
