A Simple Marriage Reminder

by Autumn

Most of us have probably wondered how to stop overthinking in a relationship. Autumn recommends rising above the overthinking and keeping marriage simple and beautiful.

One of the most important lessons I have learned being married is the importance of letting things go.

I have been married to my husband and best friend for over 6 years now and continue to enjoy every day I am blessed to have him in my life. Our life and marriage is far from perfect (including myself), but I continue to try to improve as the years go on.

The one thing I can say is how important it is to let things go and not to overreact when things go wrong, because inevitably they will. Cool down and step back and try to see things from your spouse’s perspective, as hard as that can sometimes be. I’m sure every woman has looked at something their husband has done and wondered… “What were you thinking?!” But remember, men and women really are wired different.

All too often we get so wrapped up in the details and what we want and how we think things SHOULD be. Before you lose your temper at the small things, take a step back and look at the big picture of your life and realize what you DO have to be grateful for.

These are just a few things I remind myself of that have helped me keep perspective in life. Cheers to everyone on their journey!

This year, make your marriage a priority! If we could all learn how to stop overthinking in a relationship, we could start enjoying it like we did in the dating phase.
