[2021.04.20.Tue] 입이 트이는 영어 Newlywed Life. 신혼생활

[Brainstorming] married couple, newlywed신혼부분 honeymoon period, see eye-to eye같은 생각을 한다.

[Speaking] Talk about your newlywed Life
I lived with my parents before I tied the knot. Living with my husband after we got married took some getting used to at first. Two people with different backgrounds had to adjust to each other so we had to talk it out a lot.

We are a double-income couple, so first we hashed out the details of dividing the household chores. For example, my husband gets off work earlier, so he cooks dinner and clean up and do the dishes. After dinner, we watch TV together, or enjoy some alon time separately.

On weekends, we do the housework that we put off and clean the house thoroughly. Then we cook something delicious or play games together. Staying indoors becasue of COVID 19 has made us feel pent-up but I am happy to spend my days at home with my husband.
