The first year of marriage

Have you ever wondered about what happens about "the happily ever after" ending in fairytales and romantic movies? Today we are talking beyond the happy ending and the beginning of a new chapter of the story.
It is time to go through a chat about the first year of marriage.

It is also known as the hardest year of wedlock.
Why is it hard? When asking newlyweds about it, they stated various reasons.
The prime justification is "forever".
Imagine the thought of spending your life with someone is confusing to both of the couples.

After every argument, they always think that their life will be a series of quarrels.
Also getting used to each other's routine and lifestyle can be somehow tough in the beginning.
Perhaps you like to sleep in a little light, but he prefers to sleep in utter darkness. Therefore, you have to figure out a compromised solution.
The finance topic is another reason.

Now you two have to bear life expenses together and create spreadsheets with your income, spending, and savings, not to mention planning for your future.
You also have to put the change from "I" to "we", sharing your decisions, and taking time to convince one another into consideration.
Above all of that, you are welcoming your in-laws and having them as your second family.
Does it get any easier? Of course, it is just a phase; you will get through it together. Always remember that communication is the key.

Talk with each other about everything that bothers you.
It is wiser to keep your arguments between you and don't let your families interfere.
Usually, they are simple arguments, so you don't want them to get more complicated. To ease this period for you, start a new activity or hobby together like playing musical instruments, cooking, playing sports, or so.
These activities will help to rediscover your partner and find new areas of interest. Set goals for your future together and plan how to achieve them.
It is important to regularly remind yourself that you love each other and your love will support you through this.
Your marriage is a beginning for a whole new story that will pursue with love, respect and understanding.
