The Transition of Marriage
The early years of marriage can be surprisingly difficult. In fact, you are statistically at the greatest risk for divorce during the first five years of marriage. Transitioning from life as a single person to life as a couple can trigger feelings of anxiety, doubt, confusion... and conflict. Bad habits of communication can develop. The habits, traits, and quirks you once found endearing in your partner may now feel challenging, unsupportive, or unsatisfying.
The good news is that the skills and behaviors that make a marriage last can be learned. No one is born knowing them. These first few years of marriage are the time to define a couple's roles, goals, values, and communication styles to pave the road for a lasting and happy marriage.
This time of transition also presents you with the opportunity to re-examine your role models for marriage and choose what you really want in your marriage. Although many people want a different marriage than what they grew up with, we usually repeat what we know. Now is the time to learn how to achieve the marriage of your dreams.
