This next week we are talking about the married life, which is perfect because I am engaged! So we were told to make a list of challenges we foresee im the first month and year.
First month challenges: integrating differences in personalities, communication, finances, misconceptions that your spouse must fulfill all your needs, pet peeves, common beliefs (woman does all the work vs. men help do housework),expectations, keeping their relationship problems private, who will be the bread winner, relationships with in-laws, sexual expectations.
First year challenges: disagreements on where to live or how many children to have or when to have them,dealing with the changing person (being stuck on who they were when they were married), child care responsibilities, activity between spouses,leisure time together, commitment to relationship.
