For me it was Thanksgiving. When I took him home to Thanksgiving for the first time he just “melted” into my family. It was like he simply belonged there. There were no awkward pauses jokes or comments from my fam. As a matter of fact he was running errands up and down with my uncle and my brother and they were laughing and joking like he had been a part of the family for years.

My family is very overprotective of me due to some poor choices in my dating life. But they ALL just took to him the first time they met him. Also, I’m African and sometimes dating can be a cultural challenge. He’s Jamaican and we both had never realized how similar our foods, habits and familial bonding is! We’re not married yet but we are engaged and the whole family (even the men) are involved in the planning and I love it.

Great post Tara I love these stories, keep em coming!! I’m sitting here on a sunny Saturday morning with my robe on sipping hot cocoa. Just reading these is really blessing my day.

I have counseled several Christian couples through Pastoral counseling and I often tell people this: The Big 3 Trouble spots are Finances, Communication, and Intimacy. If finances are an issue the other 2 are guaranteed. However, Communiction is the one area that runs through every aspect of a relationship. It is either the problem or the remedy for the problem - every time

Being a married woman of 16 months, I must say, LISTENING and COMMUNICATION are both the key to a great marriage. I have become a better listener, my husband, has improved his communication skills. I would also add, that making time for one another is also key, especially the first year or so. No matter how long you dated or lived with one another, your relationship changes when you get married. Getting comfortable in your new role is very important, and that only occurs when you spend quality time with your new spouse. My husband and I are 33 and 32 years old. Even though we don’t have 10 years to wait to start a family, we knew it was important to not have them right away so that we could enjoy one another, and I must say, with my improved listening skills and his improved communication skills, this past year has been WONDERFUL!!!

Congrats on 16 months. Thanks for throwing in “Listening” Pete. If we don’t listen we can’t communicate . JTB, yes enjoy your time with your new hubby because once the little bundles of joy arrives the “we” time is very limited and does take extra skills to achieve. Hubby and I have never stopped dating, even if we are too tired to go out or it’s too cold outside we date in the home. Just remember that if we raise our kids right they will leave the nest and the rest of our marriage can continue w/out interuption, until the grandkids arrive and you turn into “free babysitters”. LOL.
@ Harriet, not sure why you don’t want to give unsolicited advice, you have great reasoning skills and make great points.
