4 Things George of the Jungle Helped Me Realize With My New Marriage


1. Missing out on the "firsts" are a lie.

Just like in George of the Jungle, George shows Ursula the cute monkey, first's happen all the time. When you get into a relationship and/or marry someone who is/ has been divorced... You miss out on the "firsts" according to so many people. But this couldn't be any less true. My husband and I recently achieved the goal of a FIRST home together, we are about to bring home our FIRST puppy together, and miraculously, we are each others FIRST loves. Our previous relationships, we have now realized that love was never there to begin with. Don't listen to other's opinions of what your marriage will be like to your partner, let that be decided by both of you.


2. There will be times when you don't understand their way of doing things.

There are certain things that he/she will do, that you will never be able to comprehend or understand, but the fact is, behind every movement or action is a reason. Whether they have been like this their entire life, or because of how their last partner treated them, you don't know, and most importantly don't assume. Be mindful of this when he/she does something, don't be rude, don't lecture, Words HURT.



3. Love is a want and need.

George loved Ursula at first sight, and the same happened with my husband and I. When I first met him, he told me that he would never get married again. But within 3 weeks of us dating, it had already been brought up and thought about. I found out, that the love he had for me was bigger than I ever thought possible, the fact that his love for me overcame his fear and choice of never wanting to get married again astounded me, and I haven't forgotten this. I do my best to show him how much I love him and appreciate him on a daily basis. Someone who was treated wrong in a marriage, in my experience, typically doesn't want to be married again because of how they were treated in the past. Trust is KEY, listen to your heart like the Tuki Tuki bird.



"Jules just lucky I guess"


4. Words Hurt The Worst

DON'T. BE. LYLE. One thing I found out quick is what not to say and how to word things to be able to effectively communicate with my husband. Having a filter isn't always a bad thing, listen more than you talk and you just might have better results with communication.


George of the Jungle is one of the most iconic movies of the 90's, yes it is one of the funniest movies of the 90's but the love story couldn't have been sweeter

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
