My first time...

My boyfriend and I tried to have sex, but it was painful when he tried to push it in me... (mind you- I'm a virgin so last night was my first time) I decided to wait until marriage, but we are both in love and it's been a year and a few months we've been together. Obviously they say the first time is always painful- and he joked about it last night, that he feels like he is pushing his penis on to a brick wall😩 that's how tight I am so it was really hard to enjoy the sex. My question is, does it get easier? Is this how it feels the first time?
