Marriage can be one of the most challenging things you ever do, but it’s also one of the most rewarding — so here are 10 things to keep in mind when you find yourself in one.

Marriage is a job

You have to wake up in the morning and choose to act out in love with your partner.

When they get on your nerves (or you get on theirs), or when you’re having a blast together, you’re making the choice to be there and be involved in the relationship.

No one can force you to show up and clock in. You’ve got to do it on your own; and if the relationship stems from a solid foundation, you’ll want to show up and do the damn thing.

Marriage can look easy from the outside, but once you’re in one you’ll see the imperfections and flaws that arise and understand how complicated it can really be.

You’ve got to work every single day to grow and build on your relationship.

I promise it’s worth it.

You need to love one another…
