What to expect once you become a wife

So now the wedding is over and you are now a wife.
Officially you are Mrs. Beautiful *Insert beau's name*. So what's next! What to expect?

Waking up next to your husband.
Having breakfast together.
Being his automatic plus one. 
Spending nights watching netflix at home.
Cooking meals for him and preparing his coffee. 
Making sure that you make a home for him and your children.

Being a wife is a fun responsibility. And let me tell you straight, it is not just a fairytale. Days ahead could be tiring when you have too much laundry. Budget to squeeze in. Trying to Get Pregnant, Getting Pregnant and giving birth. Balancing time, energy and effort unto your household, your Children and your husband.Then trying not to get pregnant really.

Hey, Im not trying to back you out of your wedding. Im only trying to let you see the balance of a woman you would become. It would be chaotic yes but then its when you would realize so much more of yourself.
Today you shouldn't hold on to your pride but you should choose understanding. Choose forgiveness. Choose strength over adversities. And take things slowly day after each day. Don't rush yourself its not just a destination but its an overall process that we all go through as women.

It is a Godly calling. You will surprise yourself of who you would become.

Responsibilities

Now you take on a role of looking after not only your needs but also your husband. You take effort of love to do his Breakfast, prepare some things he may need, Make Coffee, Replenish pantry etc... Remember to take the balance, he is not a baby don't spoon-feed him. You are not his mom. You are his wife. Don"t be clingy and overprotective but be caring and helpful.

Stay you but become a better version

As years go by don't be trapped. You can still grow where you are passionate about. And take care of yourself. Some wife thinks that they can just wear whatever and be unattractive anyway they already tied the knot. Make an effort to look good and smell good not only for your husband but also for yourself.

Remember  Find value in yourself everyday. Don't loose who you are but develop yourself and don't let yourself go.

Submit

This is such a transition for all of us. And its a learning journey. We are used to making decisions for ourselves but in marriage and family life. When big decisions needs to be done, submission is letting your husband hold the steering wheel BUT it does not mean that you don't get a say on it. Give wisdom to him by praying what you think but letting him decide. We are not perfect and so are our husbands. We could pray for them while they are on process and let God take over. And if we are wrong God will turn our heart to see the intent of our husbands.

Remember  Find value in yourself everyday. Don't loose who you are but develop yourself and don't let yourself go.

Pray

Being a wife means being the prayer partner of your husband. Pray for him daily. Read books that will help you out. And I do pray for God's intervention to be upon your marriage. Never give up but let go and let God.
