22 Benefits of Being Married

I have been sick the last few days so there hasn't been any blog posts. Sorry about that. Because I missed the scheduled posts for the last 2 days, I'm replacing a throwback Thursday with the one that was supposed to be posted on Tuesday!

That being said, I find there is a lot of negativity around being married these days - especially towards young people getting married. I found this article over on the Inspired Bride so I thought I would share it here for some fun! 

22 Benefits of Being Married 

1. You’ll have a live-in spider killer.

Seriously. When I see a disgusting bug, I put a cup on it and wait for Brandyn to get home and get it.

 

2. Someone will always be around to reach the top shelves in the kitchen.

 

3. You’ll live longer; studies have shown married couples live longer.

4. You’ll always get a Valentine’s Day present… and an anniversary present!

Double the presents!!! Who doesn't love presents.

5 Your husband is like a built-in toe warmer waiting on the other side of the bed.

 6. You will always have someone to share your deepest secrets with. 

7. You’ll have a dishes-doing partner… and a dance partner.

8. There’s always someone to wake up if you have a creepy dream.

9. You’ll have someone to support you in all things.

10. Having someone there to bring you soup when you’re sick.

11. Starting a family with the man you adore.

12. Having a husband is like having a handyman on-call 24-hours a day.

I will never have to pay for an electrician

 

13. Gaining a whole extra family that you’ll love and who will love you.

14. Knowing that someone always has your back.

15. You’ll have a Sunday morning newspaper-reading partner.

16. He’ll be your partner in crime.

17. It’s nice having someone who knows you as well as you know yourself.

18. Two heads are better than one, especially when you’re coming up with excuses for staying home from work, getting out of a prior obligation, etc.

19. You always have a date for Saturday night.

20. Someone is always there to share laughs with.

21. Looking forward to your husband walking in at the end of the day.
