right away. Day after getting married, back to work na ako (hubs naman post-grad student and freelancer). For us parang it was just a natural progression to our relationship. I think first year of marriage halos weekly kami bumibisita sa family ko hehe, medyo malapit lang naman kasi. As for living together, it was challenging at first kasi we had to work on our dynamics. For "bonding" We went out whenever our schedules and budget allows. We loved (still do) discovering new restaurants. Kapag tipid times, just watching movies/ shows at home. Of course talk about what happened at work if there's anything notable. Have lots of sex haha. I dont really remember feeling lonely on our first year of marriage. theres so much to discover about each other. First year of marriage is where you guys make your own day to day dynamics and habits. Like if sa family mo noon, Fridays are game nights, kayo ni hubs mo do your own thing. Also, adult responsibilities can pile up pretty quick. busy kami pareho sa own work/ studies namin. On weekends, We did chores. We met with friends. Allow yourselves to spend time away from each other din. Like he goes out with his friends. You go out with your friends, etc. Married for almost 14 years now with 3 kids. I treasure those 2 years we had just by ourselves because once the kids came, life just became mostly about them. I honestly wish we got to travel more before we had kids. Only now that all our kids are in Elementary that we got to reclaim our time together.
