1. When you're married, you need to be good at sharing.
2. But you need to be even better at not sharing.
3. And oversharing? That just comes naturally.
4. Marriage is about sacrifice...
7. It's also about forgiveness.
8. Nobody is perfect, so don't expect your spouse to be.
9.
Sometimes it's better to accept their flaws than to try to fix them.
10.
Marriage will test your patience...
11. ...sometimes relentlessly.
12. So remember: Communication is key.
13.
Cannot overstate how important it is to communicate with your spouse.
14.
Seriously, it's the best way to know for sure that your needs are being met.
15. In fact, you and your spouse probably speak a secret language that no one else speaks.
16. You probably have your own special way of getting your message across.
17. And they always know exactly what you mean.
18.
But that doesn't mean they don't still surprise you from time to time.
19. Even though they're reliably the same in the most important ways.
20. For example, no one knows how to cheer you up quite like your spouse does.
21. If you're not amused now, don't worry. You'll be laughing about it later.
22. In fact, you probably don't even realize how similar you are.
23. Chances are you were pretty similar before you even met.
24.
It goes without saying: You're happy you found each other.
25.
Even if they can be pretty annoying sometimes...
27. Who else would go to such great lengths to make you feel better?
28. Look, no one ever said marriage was easy. So don't expect it to be easy.
29. But in a weird, inexplicable way, it's not that difficult, either.
30.
Your spouse is your best friend in the whole world.
31. And they always will be!
