What I Know Now: Newly Married Ladies and Joy’s Response to Sad Stories

(Originally posted by Joy Eggerichs at Love and Respect Now blog ~ reposted with enthusiastic permission!)
In case you’re just tuning in, we’re smack dab in the middle of the What I Know Now series. My hope for all these parental interviews is to highlight the importance of asking questions and seeking counsel—we have so much to learn from those who’ve gone before us.
Think of it as an echo of The Illumination Project song, an opening band to the main show, a slice of apple pie before the main course.
(Which doesn’t really apply because I don’t love pie and would rather eat two main courses than a dessert. Just me?)
Anyway, my momma is here today sharing wisdom with those of you who have recently tied the knot and are living the dream of #newlymarriedbliss. For my parents, that dream involved being best friends and taping together carpet squares.

What I Know Now: Newly Married Men and Déjà Vu Conversations

(Originally posted by Joy Eggerichs at Love and Respect Now blog ~ reposted with enthusiastic permission!)
Friendlings, if you’ve been around the site for the past week, you should know two things:
1. The Illumination Project has launched! My baby, born!
2. We are smack dab in the middle of the What I Know Now series, starring none other than my wonderful (and often hilarious) parentals.
My hope for these videos is for you to get a taste of what The Illumination Project is all about—seeking older, wiser counsel. Last week, my mom and dad weighed in on what they wished they had known when they were single and ready to mingle. For those of you keeping score at home, #dadjokes and high school memories are involved.
Today we’re talking with my padre about advice for all y’all who’ve recently gotten hitched. If that’s you, sit back and enjoy, because not only does my dad teach you about communication with your new spouse, he also throws in a little Spanish lesson.
Olé!
