So you're married... congratulations!
Hopefully you've had some time to send your thank-you cards, put away your gifts (and of course return a few), clean your dress and have a few of those inevitable Newlywed fights! I'm sure you know what I'm talking about if you're here... I know all about those fights. I've had many of those fights as a Newlywed myself.
The ones that sometimes leave you thinking...
... what did we do? Did we make a mistake?
... why are we fighting so much?
... he/she just doesn't understand me at all anymore!
... no one told me that marriage would be like this.
... why don't any other couples seem to struggle this much?
These are all common thoughts when you're newly married. It's an exciting, confusing, overwhelming and new experience that can leave you unsure of your feelings. So what is a Newlywed, anyway?
A Newlywed is nothing more than a word; a noun defined as "a recently married person". Such a simple definition, right? Then why does this period in our marriage come with such hefty expectations? Expectations that you should be happy, in-love, having lots of sex, living a honeymoon, etc. (sound familiar?) But what if you're not doing these things... what if you and your new spouse aren't happy, aren't having sex and your marriage really isn't anything like a honeymoon? Then you're at the right place!
Very rarely do people getting married actually know what marriage is about. The focus is on the wedding and once you ARE married, you're expected to be able to just figure it out yourselves. Well, how are you supposed to do that if no one ever told you about BEING married? Good question! This is where I can help! Unfortunately, there are very few resources available to teach Newlyweds how to be married. Marriage is hard work and it takes knowledge, practice and commitment to make it last!
I typically work with Newlywed clients on the following concerns:
