What is Get Hitched, Stay Hitched?

Hey friends! I started this blog last year for a school project and now that I have a little more time on my hands I wanted to revive it. So here is a quick overview of who I am and why I would even be writing a blog about marriage and family. My husband Glenn and I got married 2 years ago after dating for only 6 months! Yeah, I know we're crazy. Hopefully after reading this blog you will come to understand what we did to prepare for marriage and what we do EVERYDAY to make marriage work. 

I'm 23 years old and I'll be graduating with a Bachelors of Science in Marriage and Family Studies at the end of this year (December could not come fast enough).  In a way this blog is a place for me to apply what I am learning into everyday marriage and family life.

So why the title Get Hitched, Stay Hitched? I feel like  a lot of people my age are in love with the idea of planning a wedding. This is all great, but your wedding colors and the perfect center pieces are not going to be the things that save your marriage. Skills such as communication, friendship, and forgiveness are what must be cultivated in order to not only get hitched, but to stay hitched.

                                 
My goal is to share ways with you on how to make marriage work. As a Family Life Educator my purpose is to empower families with knowledge and skills to enhance well-being and strengthen marriage and family relationships.

I am by no means perfect at applying these principles. I hope that by sharing what I am learning, I will come close to perfection. I am excited to share what I am learning. Comment below topics you would like to read more about!
