The first year of marriage can be the hardest. Combining finances, careers, family engagements, debts, and the rising cost of living can make newlyweds feel overwhelmed. The lead-up to the wedding is usually stressful and emotionally charged, and after the wedding, there can be a post-wedding anti-climax. The stakes of being married feel higher, and every fight in a marriage may feel more significant because it is assumed to be permanent. Research shows that a decline in love, affection, and responsiveness, and an increase in ambivalence within the first two years of marriage can be a predictor for the couple to separate. Newlyweds may be more prone to dissatisfaction due to unrealistic expectations or the level of what they experience versus what they expected in terms of marriage. Priorities in the first year of marriage include handling money, dividing household chores, spending quality time together outside the relationship, prioritizing sex, setting boundaries with in-laws, understanding differences, handling conflict, and discussing expectations.  Listen as we continue our discussion about these things.
