I know no one asked, but since we're talking about relationship tips, I'd like to say a few things, too. Marriage is about having fun doing the same things with your partner every day.

It's about looking forward to each day and not dreading their presence. Sometimes things are rough, and you just can't stand each other, but as long as it's not abuse, wait it out.

Marriage is also about sacrifices and compromises, but not at the cost of your own safety and sanity. It's a two-way street with multiple exits, really.

That said, getting married doesn't mean you'll never feel lonely again. There will be times you'll wonder why you feel so alone in a room full of people.

When this happens, evaluate your relationship and stay only if it's worth your time, love, commitment, and compromises.

That last part lands harder than the rest.

Still dealing with in-law drama at your anniversary, see why this spouse excluded them and got judged.
