Transitions in Marriage (Feb 18-22)

Too many people expect their marriage to be perfect and they expect it to be perfect right at the start.  That first year a couple is together can be the hardest one for their marriage.  Most divorces occur within the first couple years of marriage and are around the time the first or second child is being born.  Marriage is a lot of hard work.  It is too bad how many marriages end up not making it just because the couple was not willing to work it out.  It can be very helpful to discuss a lot of things that may cause arguments before the marriage.  This can help tone down the stress as well as already provide the couple with a plan when the inevitable trouble hits.
