Couples Who Don’t Work Through These Issues Before Marriage Often End Up Separating

After you get engaged, there’s a period of combined bliss and stress while in the midst of planning for your wedding day. However, the light at the end of the tunnel is that those emotions are followed by the romance and relaxation of your honeymoon. During this time, when you’re freshly married and enjoying each other’s company, whether on a vacation or not.......➡️CONTINUE READING THE FULL ARTICLES HERE.

it’s easy to be lost in the happy bubble of a honeymoon phase or honeymoon period and not discuss critical issues of compatibility for long-term marital success. Thus, you’re unable to see past it to your reality together.
1. How to get along after a disagreement

It’s important to realize that your life together isn’t always going to be sunshine and rainbows. People disagree and get into arguments.

The important thing is to not let your disagreements or arguments infiltrate your day-to-day life. You should also learn to understand one another’s pain points so you can know why your spouse is so angry on a personal level.

Once you have that deeper understanding, you can work through those issues and come to an actual resolution. This will also help to prevent anger from persisting so you can work toward that honeymoon-level happiness.
2. How to create a mutual budget

Nothing puts a damper on the honeymoon vibe quite like discussing your finances. This is a true pain point for many relationships because, let’s face it, combining two different backgrounds is hard enough.
3. How to share chores and responsibilities

To avoid ruining the honeymoon period after the end of your honeymoon, a conversation needs to take place about domestic expectations. Unfortunately, there are still societal expectations about a vast majority of the domestic responsibilities falling upon the wife.

You need to know what each of you expects out of the other when it comes to these responsibilities and have an honest conversation about splitting chores without it becoming a fight.

After having this talk, you can hold each other accountable for what was discussed. The important part is that you do so without hostility, as that can lead to resentment that will keep you from that honeymoon-like feeling.
4. How to continuously learn about each other

A marriage is a lifelong journey that adapts as time goes on. Who you are, individually, will change throughout that journey — and that’s not a bad thing.

While you may think that you and your spouse know everything about each other, you’re both still growing as people — the experiences you’ll continue to have will cause changes that your spouse will learn about and vice versa.

It primarily falls under the field of social psychology, focusing on concepts like self-disclosure, relationship development, attachment theory, and the ongoing process of building intimacy and understanding within interpersonal relationships, particularly in long-term partnerships.
5. How to talk about finances

One of the life events that will mirror the bliss and stress you felt while planning your wedding is when you decide it’s time to become a homeowner.

This is also why it’s important to talk about finances. You’ll want to take the time to formulate a budget. This will help you avoid any unpleasant surprises in the home-buying process, like finding out you’re below the minimum credit score to buy a house.

Being rejected in this process will put any marriage through the wringer. Remember: there are good surprises and bad surprises in marriage. Don’t let your decision to buy a home reveal one of the bad ones
