Then:
I went clubbing, monthly.
I went on a lot of dates... sometimes 3 a week.
I stayed up late giggling with my roommates.
I flirted covertly.
I loved going out.
Now:
I dance with my sweetheart in the kitchen.
I go out with the Hubbs once a week.
I go to bed early.
I flirt shamelessly.
I love staying in.
Marriage, sometimes, gets bashed on. I cannot number how many times I've heard that living the single life is living the fun life, and that once you get married your fun gets squelched.
I'm here to disagree.
Yes, I had fun being single. Lots of fun, in fact. But marriage is fun too. Sure, I don't go out as much as I used to. But now I don't want to go out as much. I no longer have to go out just to avoid the harsh reality that I'll be alone when I get home. I have the comfort of eternal companionship every day of my life. I've replaced parties and nights on the town with board games and netflix. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
Single life is fun. Yes. But married life is bliss, joy, and comfort. It's companionship, faith, compromise, and growth...together instead of alone.
There isn't a single day that I regret marrying my best friend.
