If you're like me, a married college student with no children, we are in a gap of ministry and advice. I recently did a Google search for blogs about being married in college, and came up with little to nothing. For college women, the advice usually focuses on how to stay pure, make yourself spiritually beautiful, and be ready and suitable for the "right guy" to come along. For married women, the advice circles around how to balance your marriage with your motherhood. I totally respect the authors of these blogs and I believe that they are fulfilling a key need, but where do we fit in?
We fit in the hearts of our husbands. We fit in the lives of our friends. We fit in the women's groups, the college groups, the marriage seminars. We struggle to balance classwork with housework with hanging out with friends with date night (what's that??). Our trials are real, and our joys are hard to communicate to our peers. Over the course of this blog I hope to address some real issues that I've dealt with as a proud earner of an MRS Degree, and either answer any questions that you have along the way or find someone who can. (I also can't help myself but share the joys in our life and what God is doing!)
Kiss him goodnight!
