writes:Is it normal to feel a little sad and unsure about one's marriage after only a few months of marriage? I was with my husband for 5 years before I married him. We had the normal ups and downs during the courship period, but I was certain that he was the one I wanted to marry. Had the best engagement period. Never been happier...Looked forward to our wedding and honeymoon. It was all perfect...Now after a few months of marriage, things are great, but I feel a little empty, and have actually caught myself thinking "how much of my happiness and excitement was about being engaged and the wedding, versus being married?" I love my husband. I'm hoping it's normal to feel a little sad now that the "honeymoon" period is over. Have other newly married couples experienced this? I read somewhere that the 1st year of marriage can be difficult sometimes b/c it is both a mix of newness/joyful expectation and mourning life as a "single." Just wondering if others can share any similar experiences...thanks.

 Hi your right you put so much time and effort in to a marriage and its exciting and then things tend to go back to normal and you might start feeling a bit low because its all over and done with now that your actually married. The first year of marriage is were you truely get to know each other and each others small habits. Just remember now that you are both legally a couple at that to have a strong relationship you need to remember that everything should be 50:50 from now on and you need to make joint arrangements. Remember that you both need to try and keep up a healthy sex life as well as some married couples fall in to a rut where they go out and work come home fall in to a habit of watching tv or other things to relax. try and keep things fresh do new things in the bedroom, and still have date nights were you both go out together for dinner or a few drinks, maybe even to the movies, that helps to keep things fresh. Always make sure that you both make time for each other.
