It will help your marriage solve these common circumstances with a specialized therapist.
The first year of marriage is full of changes and adjustments as you and your partner adapt to your new roles. Yet how you handle this period of adjustment is crucial to the longevity of your marriage.
A decline in love, affection, and responsiveness and an increase in ambivalence within the first two years of marriage can be a predictor for divorce after 13 years.1 That's according to a 2009 study on the predictors of marital satisfaction and stressors by Ted Huston, Ph.D., of the University of Texas at Austin.
More recent research shows that newlyweds may be more prone to dissatisfaction due to unrealistic expectations or the level of what they experience versus what they expected in terms of marriage. Common unexpected adjustments include:
The "little things"
Competing loyalties
Letdowns
Serious responsibilities
Relationship roles
Sex
Our support group helps your marriage solve these common circumstances with a specialized therapist.
