It’s said that the first year of marriage is the hardest one. The adjustments and changes that spouses encounter as newlyweds topple almost every other period in life — you and your spouse may feel stuck between the couple you used to be and the married couple you want to become. Marriage is a big risk; it can guarantee a lifetime of love, fulfillment, security and satisfaction, but it can also lead to quarrels, abuse, loneliness and divorce.
Here are the top eight challenges that spouses may need to overcome in their first year:

1) Domesticity Problems
The first thing that springs to mind is anything associated with domesticity. This means anything that can be lumped into what we like to call “household chores,”like washing the dishes, doing the laundry, tidying up or cooking dinner. For many recently married people, sharing a house with someone else is entirely new. Trying to divide the tasks in a fair and even way can put an enormous strain on a relationship.

2) Financial Issues
Financial issues always crop up in the first year of marriage. Being married means sharing everything, spending money together,saving money together and dividing the income fairly. For the first time ever, you can’t simply decide to save up for a holiday or a new car; nor can you impulsively buy that new pair of designer boots. Your partner’s financial sensibilities have to be taken into account.

3) Romance Challenge
When you’re married, it’s easy to stop being romantic.There’s an element of safety, and the “you’re not going anywhere” mentality comes with a dwindling of the things that can make a relationship worth it; texting and calling from work, going out for a nice meal, flirting and looking good for one another.

4) Personality Differences
Living together means spending a lot of time together, so it’s inevitable that certainlifestyle differenceswill become abundantly clear. You might enjoy eating out while your partner might like to stay in and cook. You might like reading, and your partner might prefer watching television. It’s important to negotiate, compromise and find a balance.

5) Lifestyle Changes
As a married couple, the first year will bring a whirlwind of lifestyle changes. In your dating period, it was probably very relaxed, casual and fun. In a marriage, these things are inevitably combined withsome of the more boring stuff, like planning, working, stressing over money and sleeping early as opposed to going out and dancing. It’s important not to resent your partner for this.

6) Parental Influence
When you’re dating, it’s just the two of you. When you’re married, it’s the whole family or both families. You have in-laws to impress. You’ve taken their child away, so they’re bound to stick their noses into your affairs.Parental influencecan be a real burden on your marriage before you get used to it.

7) Unexpected Fights
The first year of marriage is said to bring aninflux of fighting. This is probably because you’re with each other all the time for the first time since your relationship began. Plus, the fights may have an intensity that they didn’t have before, and you might feel like you have fewer places to escape.

Independent Plans
It becomes easy to start acting independentlyof one another in the first year.Bound by the wedding ring, you might feel more inclined to make plans without consulting your partner. If you get into the habit of doing this early on, there’s a danger it might affect your entire marriage.

Marriage can be the most rewarding decision that you’ll make in your life. If you make it to your first anniversary, you’re halfway there. By establishing a strong base on which to build, the rest of your married life should be something you can anticipate, plan towards and look forward to.

Thanks. What a great practical teaching.



God will help us to overcome all the challenges of a matrimonial home.

If you are not yet married, you better believe this post.

However, of all the points mentioned above the second can really be trying. It is always touchy when you have yourself being challenged by your wife; that she's not being carried along in your expenditure.

Boy"O"Boy, it is not easy as you are so used to doing things previously without consultation. But dont worry, you can always learn and adjust as long as you are not too cocky about this.

A man is more comfortable to do this particularly when CASH is really there. For those struggling financially; it's more challenging.

So ensure you increase your financial base as you get married.

Start a business with about 100k and start making about 50k beginning from the 3rd month and increase this as you expand your team.

When I get to the bridge I will cross over..... I just don't want unnecessary stress from a man who calls himself my husband.

With this kind of attitude, you might just get burned. Sorry to say.

would rather be a child with freedom, than an adult in shackles...... Get a shrink to have a no holds barred conversation with married folks and see how many would prefer being single and free....

Final notes, don't let society decide what happiness should mean for you.... Marriage is just marriage no prizes and no rewards

Partnership? How do you mean?

civil partnership where each person knows the other can walk out at any time, so there would be no need for pretence......

8 challenges cha? Was that why my friend defined marriage as public toilet, while those outside are in a haste to rush in, those inside are in a hurry to rush out? Hmmm, God help us o..

No. That definition is wrong. This because a marriage is what you make out of it. Some marriages are indeed like the public toilet but some are really working beautifully.

Whatever becomes of your marriage depends first on you, then secondly your spouse. Not the other way round. If you are a man, are matured enough in mind to be that lady's husband? Will she find in you a support that her parents used to be to her? Or you will be her problem?

If you are a woman, are you ready to support and help that man? If for whatever reason you can't respect him DON'T marry him.

Mine is working so beautifully despite the challenges we have faced and the ones that lie ahead.
