Transitions in marriage

Factors of why some people don't marry
   1. opportunity doesn't arise
   2. perspective
   3. Must have resources first

Early marital adjustments can be some of the hardest ones in a marriage. You are discovering things about each other you may not have known during the dating phase. You need to learn to share your budget and time equally. You learn to share a bed. You have to learn to make decisions together instead of independently. You need to accept flaws and always be aware of the other person. Another big adjustment early on in marriage can be adding kids into the mix. You need to keep your marriage on top during this phase. If not you could grow apart.
Some reasons why you can grow apart are:
     *birth order
     *sharing resources
     *children are demanding
     *draining of time, money and finances
     *parenting styles are not the same
     *hormones and emotions changing
     *men "think" their wife loves the child more now
     *men think women are not happy with them anymore

Don't make your kids your CHORE kids!!
