First, remember that at times (perhaps many times), you will feel that you are neglecting your husband, your schoolwork, or even both. Med school is A LOT of work (i know you already know that), and although you're essentially married to your social life, you will still find at times that you have painfully little time for it. My best adivice (i'm engaged, not married, but still): try to schedule "couples" time when you don't have an upcoming exam within the next week and when he's not working - this way you have some scheduled time that you have to stop studying and spend together. Otherwise, you can always try combining the two: maybe a few hours at Barnes and Noble where you read through some lectures and he browses books? You're going to have to be creative, but believe me, it can be done. My fiance is in grad school, and we spent half of winter break at the library or barnes and noble studying together... followed by dinner, renting movies, etc. Not the most fun in the world, but again, a decent compromise.
One last thing: make sure that you have time for yourself. Seriously - I know you want to spend as much time as possible with your husband, but you also need some time to do things for you - for example, going to the gym (the KEY to sanity, in my opinion), or even just reading a magazine for half an hour. Just make sure that you're not spending every free second trying to deal with med school, family, etc., or you may become overwhelmed too.
Good luck - you'll be fine 🙂.
