I'm married.....Now what?

ShelbyLamoureux

I just got married a few weeks ago. However the honeymoon is over. My husband and I have both returend back to work and getting back into daily routines. We have been together for 5 years, have a home, and a 3 year old. So before the wedding we were pretty set in our lives together. However for the last year I have been meticulously planning the wedding of our dreams via hours on pintrest, the knot, and any other diy help site. Now that it is all over I'm bored....pintrest does not even entertain me anymore! Do not get me wrong...I LOVE being married to the man of my dreams. I just feel like I am in a post wedding slump. Any tips on what I can do to get out of this slump would be great!

Plan a little party/get together... Give you something to look forward to in the next month.

I honestly disagree with the party thing. You shouldn't have to plan party after party to get out of slumps. Unless of course you truly want to make that a hobby. And your husband won't mind being that it's his house too and I imagine you would need to agree on spending the money for it. But why not create a hobby with your husband. Do something you both enjoy together and make a note to do that as much as possible.

You mention DIY...did you do a DIY wedding? Maybe get into crafting if you enjoyed it so much....Make things for people for christmas presents etc....Pinterest has lots of great ideas!

Or better yet...get into finding things to do in your community with your child....last I checked most 3 year olds can easily fill your day if you let them! I have got to admit this is the first time I have heard someone with a 3 year old say that they have too much time and not enough to do...

I had the same thing happen to me. Except my husband one day said, "Hunny, I think you need a hobby." Honestly, it felt like a slap in the face. But now I realize it was because he was playing his games online (Which is his hobby)  and he felt bad that I wasn't doing anything I liked. So I picked up reading. And now while he's on the computer I get to enjoy the quiet time with my book. And occasionally I'll squeeze my toes on his leg or give him a quick kiss but it does make all the difference if you find something you enjoy. 

Reading

Making candles

Working out (even just walking around the block)

If you have a dog train it!

Organize your home

Pick out something you and husband can do together:

date night where you choose a random restaurant and eat there

Once I set up a water gun fight so when he got off work he could have some sort of release. 

My husband and I also enjoy going to the hookah bar and just sitting there having a drink and talking. Sure it's not for everyone but now that the wedding is over you should find something to bond over again other than your special day. 

Oh and sex. Lots and lots of sex. You've been together for a while now but why make the love stop!

Maybe you could start a blog about a topic that you love, or even just about being a newlywed and having a family. 

Date nights are also a great idea.  My husband and I have a monthly date night which is always on the 26th (our wedding date).  Sometimes we try a new restaurant, sometimes we stay in and watch a movie.  Either way it's something to look forward to.
