You guys, you know what I’m loving lately? Marriage. I mean, I love it. A lot. And I love it more and more every day. I’ve been blessed to be married to my best friend for seven months today. Yeah, sure, it’s just seven months. It’s not even a year yet. But every single day I am growing and learning something new and honestly, any excuse to share more wedding photos and celebrate is okay by me.
I know I’m a newlywed and all, but when people ask me, “How’s married life?” I can’t help but answer, “It’s awesome! I highly recommend it!”
And to tell you the truth, I don’t think that there is really anything that could happen that would make me say otherwise.
Sure, everything isn’t roses and smiles 24/7, but in the short time I’ve been married I’ve learned that when two people love Christ first and each other second, anything is possible.
We laugh, we play, we chase each other around the house, we go on walks, we tell jokes, and we serve one another. Unconditionally.
I’ve learned that when you pray circles around your marriage, it’s as though everything else just falls into place.
I love that we challenge and encourage one another to do and be better. John has taught me what it means to truly love someone – including all the flaws and imperfections – from the deepest part of your being.
At the core of it all – John makes me want to serve him and serve Christ more and more every day. He also makes me laugh. A lot.
It also helps that I find my husband to be smokin’ hot.
Sorry ’bout that, I couldn’t be TOTALLY serious the whole time…
Welp, here’s to 7×77 more and then some.
What are you loving lately? What have you learned lately?
Happy Tuesday, y’all.

“19 So then you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with the saints, and members of God’s household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone. 21 The whole building, being put together by Him, grows into a holy sanctuary in the Lord. 22 You also are being built together for God’s dwelling in the Spirit.” -Ephesians 2:19-22


Beautiful post. I love your pics-you two look totally adorable together. I’m especially loving what you said about prayer and putting God first in the relationship. My honey and I have been talking and practicing that alot lately and let me tell you….it has gotten us through some tough times. Good luck and I wish you many more years of bliss!

thank you so much, girl. that really means a lot! it helps SO much putting God first
Hi Molly, It s great to see your wedding pictures, I am a total sucker when it comes to love and marriage and I’m glad it is working out for you. I am still far to young to be married, but I do look forward that special moment in my life as well. I totally agree with you when it comes to the fact that your individual devotions to God allows you two to love each other on a deeper level. This because you two truly love yourself and practicing your religon is an investment that you can benifit from in more than one way. I love all your blog posts and hope to see more pictures of the two of you soon. Have a blessed married life!
thank you so much for your sweet comment! you have no idea how much that means to me! <3
What a terrific post Molly – amazing, really.
I love all of your wedding pictures – darling!

I love that you shared your wedding pictures – they’re beautiful! And what a great post. I’m also a newlywed (almost 2 years – I think that still qualifies) & you’re so right about always learning new things & enjoying the little things. Just found your blog & have enjoyed getting to know you better

Ummm….I love marriage, too! And it’s been over 2 years for me so you go girl! So many people have negative connotations with marriage – I hate it for them. Like you said, it’s not always rainbows and butterflies, but when it’s good its soooooo good.
