I saw this on a blog and I thought it was cute, so I decided to make our own version.
1.)
We didn't live together before we were married. I know these days this is very unusual, but I love being able to say, " No, we did not live together." Besides our religious and personal beliefs on this, I loved the "honeymoon" phase of our relationship! I loved feeling like we were having "sleepovers" every night and that every morning was exciting. I loved discovering his quirks and cleaning up after my husband (can't say that now), but I did love every part!
2.)
We are homebody's. Yes we are in our mid twenties and should be out on the town, enjoying life without kids, but were not. Sure there are nights that we go out with friends, we attend parties, go out to the local bars, etc. But usually most nights (even on the weekends) we are home. We both love relaxing, watching movies, and spending time together. Some call us "the old couple" or "grandpa and grandma." But honestly I am truly happy just hanging at home with my husband and kitties.
3.)
I manage our money and we have a joint account. I have heard from a lot of friends that a.) their husband manages the money or b.) they have separate banking. Dan of course pokes his head into the finances every now and then but mainly I am the one who manages it. It just works for us.
4.)
Both of our parents are still married. In this day and time this is more and more rare. I am so proud to be able to say that. It makes everything easier.
5.)
We like to go on dates to the gym. This makes it cheap, easy, and healthy! Its nice to be able to spend time together and put our gym membership to good use.
6.)
We NEVER go to bed at the same time. I wish this were different, but I am a early-riser and Dan is a night owl. At least he cuddles with me in bed before I fall asleep every night.
