August 30^th marks my 1 year anniversary of writing for All Diva Media. For the last year, I’ve looked at marriage in a different way. I’ve applied critical thinking to issues in my marriage, my friend’s marriage, co-workers and even what I see on TV and read about on the web. I can’t tell you have invaluable it’s been to look at marriage through critical lenses.

Anniversaries, no matter that we are celebrating, are a time to reflect on what we love and how things have changed since the beginning. This has been a year of change for me personally and I love that I get a chance to write about those changes as they relate to marriage.

Anniversaries are a time to figure out what the future holds too. For marriage that can mean taking a step forward to have a baby, move, go to counseling, or seek time apart. The anniversary calls attention to what’s happening in the marriage. An anniversary could be a new beginning. Celebrate a milestone and look to the future!

Anniversaries are a time to remember and rejoice in the memories of the past. For wedding anniversaries, you might look at your album or watch the video from the ceremony. Perhaps you talk about anniversary past or talk about why you married each other in the first place. It’s the one time of year in a marriage that living in the past is acceptable.

For my blog-versary, I looked at some of my past posts and remembered what caused me to write about the topic. It might have been something that happened to me, happened to a friend, something I read about or watched on television or something my husband brought up from the male point of view. However the idea came to me, it was something that struck me as important or useful to a marriage and most likely, it impacted my life somehow.

It’s been a fun year and I look forward to learning along with my readers about the mystery that is marriage!
