They say the first year of Marriage is the hardest...

What does that mean exactly?

Is it merely an adjustment issue? Is it near constant arguing/fighting, not understanding each other, saying mean/nasty things to each other/being disrespectful? Is that normal?

How do you know the difference between the first year of marriage difficulties and if it’s just not going to work out? How do you know when you’ve put enough effort in?

Give some real-experience examples of how the first year of marriage was difficult for you and your spouse

i need serious answers please

i'm going through a really tough time with my marriage

Re: They say the first year of Marriage is the hardest...

Honestly? If you suspect it's not going to last or work out, that's your gut telling you something. You can choose to ignore it, or listen to it.

What are the problems you're having? Are they related to circumstances and situations? or is it personality/character based? Because if it's the former, things can work out, but if it's the latter....it will take much more work and heartache before things can even start to get better.

Re: They say the first year of Marriage is the hardest...

doesn't need to be hard always

depends on the understanding of the couple... Yes it can be a bit hard to adjust, cuz now ur finally "sharing" one house, one bed, and lifes
so it doesnt need to be the picture perfect like on the indian drama's

Talk with him about it and make it work...a marriage is somethin were a couple works on :)

Re: They say the first year of Marriage is the hardest...

Ours was a love marriage. There wasn't a lot of adjusting because we already knew each other well and we were living on our own, so there were no in-laws issues either.

IMO despite the adjustments and change, the first year is the honeymoon period. You go that extra mile to be nice to each other. A quarrel here and there, roothna-manaana is fine, but if it's turning ugly and nasty things are being said then that is not normal. Heck, no matter how many years you've been married, if you're constantly being disrespectful to one another, it is NOT a good sign.

You need to assess your marriage. Firstly, do you love each other deep down? Second, what is the underlying cause of these quarrels? What changes can you (both) make to make things better?

All the best!

Yes! First year is the hardest as far as ive analyzed! It depends on the circumstances as well. We have some issues which are not under our control resulting in the problems which wouldnt be happening if things were different.A s it involves developing understanding between each other, adjustments and all it definitely gets harder.
