29 Things Couples Learn After Getting Married
Older people have always said 'You can't get to know each other without getting married.' They aren't wrong. Even the couples who lived together for years before beginning a new and different kind of relationship after getting married. During this period, they have lots of arguments and oppositions. These different points of view then become a regular and expected thing in marriage.
Here are the 29 things that freshly married couples say they discover only after getting married:
1. It is your marriage, not your parents'. Don't act according to your family's decisions.
Appreciate even the tiniest things.
2. The time that you should take for yourself is crucial. Take up hobbies that both of you will like and don't give up, even if one of you doesn't like it.
3. Every time you have a fight, ask yourself why you are fighting. It is a very important matter? If not, try to get past it together. Don't upset each other and yourselves for nothing.
4. Don't listen to others. Do go to bed angry. You are tired. Don't push yourself to find a solution. There is always tomorrow.
5. Your spouse is your best friend.
'Thanks to marriage, my friendship with my husband was reinforced. We became aware of real life after the honeymoon, and saw that we will be together forever. He is my best friend and we are starting this journey together. Otherwise, we wouldn't have anything to hold on to.'
6. Don't forget to laugh at small things together.
7. Attacking your spouse won't solve anything.

A lot about your spouse and yourself... You will also see how the bond between you gets stronger.
