When I started The Young Wife, I didn’t have some big plan. I just wanted a space to talk about the parts of marriage that don’t always get talked about, especially when you get married young. I was twenty, figuring out how to build a life with someone while still figuring out who I was. I kept thinking, “Someone should be writing about this,” and then I realized maybe that someone could be me.
I don’t write this blog because I have all the answers. I write it because I’m learning, failing, and growing just like everyone else. Marriage has taught me a lot already, mostly that no one really has it all together, no matter how perfect things look online. So if anything I’ve shared helps another wife feel less alone, that’s reason enough to keep going.
My goal from the start has been simple: to encourage, relate, and entertain. Not to lecture. Not to sound like an expert. Just to tell the truth about what it’s like to do life and marriage at the same time. Mondays are for the marriage and life stuff, the real conversations, the small wins, and sometimes the things that are just plain hard. Wednesdays are for money, because it’s one of those topics that affects everything but no one really teaches you how to manage together. And Fridays are for food, because honestly, cooking and eating together has become one of my favorite parts of marriage.
Even though The Young Wife is still new, it already means a lot to me. What started as a simple idea has quickly become something I genuinely care about growing. I want it to keep reaching more people who just need someone to be honest about how messy and beautiful marriage can be. I want it to stay relatable, but I also want it to challenge me to keep showing up, to keep writing, and to keep being transparent even when it’s uncomfortable.
I don’t know exactly where it’s all heading, but I do know I want this space to matter. I want people to read a post and feel like they just had a real conversation, not like they just read a blog. If this space helps even a few people feel seen, understood, or a little more hopeful about marriage, then that’s exactly why I’ll keep writing.
