What a great post about marriage! I love the last one about being a cheerleader for your spouse. I am a family medicine physician and my husband is a pastor. Those years in med school and residency were SO tough, but I think God knows the challenges and the blessings and what marriages He has set up for it. Marriage is such an incredible gift from God, so thank you for honoring it in such a public way on your blog. Blessings to yall!

I'm in my 4th year of medical school and can definitely relate to #6. I just turned 30 and see all of my friends getting married and having children and it's really tough to stay positive and push through. I wish you guys the best through his final year and beyond!

It's so hard being a medical school student and resident,but I feel it's even harder on our significant others. The hardest thing is telling everyone you love "I don't know" because you don't know your schedule ahead of time or what time you'll be out of the hospital. God bless you two.

Especially since my husband doesn't have a typical schedule either (He owns and operates a creative design agency) and I do youtube, so I too will change my schedule around to accommodate his! It's refreshing to see other couples do the same! And about being his cheerleader… So true! In proverbs one way God describes a wife is as a husbands divine help, cheering our men on is a huge component to their success! You are a gift to John, and I'm sure he survived because of you! I respect what you both do, and how you put each other first! Thanks for sharing as always!!! ~Stephanie 🙂

I've been following your blog closely for over 3 years now. A friend recommended it to me because my now husband (then boyfriend) also named John was at the same point in medical school as your John! Its been so interesting to go through the same ups (match day!) and downs (rough schedules) from afar 🙂 I really enjoyed this post and couldn't agree with each point more. There is nothing quite like being married to a resident and its hard to explain to friends whose husbands don't have to plan vacation time months in advance or miss holidays with family.

Thank you for writing this post and for all of your work on your blog. I truly enjoy it! I also follow your bestie Caitlin. You girls are so fun 🙂

Have a good weekend!
Carly

While I don't have the experience of being married to someone in medical school/residency I am a police wife. So a lot of what you spoke about is very similar. I think the suggestions that stood out most were flexibility and being his biggest cheerleader. It pays off in the end. Thanks for sharing your residency story and the beautiful pictures 🙂 Happy (belated) Anniversary!
