Newlyweds

There’s an old saying: “The first year of any marriage is the hardest.”

Many newlyweds experience some really tough situations as they move into marriage. From finances to in-laws, there are major challenges associated with being newly married.

In our culture, though, we have been fed the Fairy Tale myth; that’s why we assume that getting married is going to be 'happily ever after.'

In fact, marriage is a huge change—and any change can be stressful.
 
The Chinese character for change is danger plus opportunity. That’s what I see in being a newlywed—a great opportunity. Newly married couples can get through this stage and grow their love. It is possible and probable. And it takes some work; so dig deep for the resources to face the stress of being newly married.

I have a good feeling about relationships that face challenges in the beginning.  If these early challenges are overcome, the relationship will make it!

Feel free to email me any questions you have about your relationship. I'd love to hear from you.

Cheers...
