I’ve never understood why people say the first year of marriage is hard . I would think that’s the honey moon phase. I’ve been married for 5 years and been with my husband for 8 years. The hardest year for us was the year our daughter was born. The stress, the sleepless night, the hormones etc. I would say communication is key. Communicate with each other and try to understand why you guys feel the way you’re feeling. ♥️

Did you have a baby recently? Babies put a ton of stress on relationships! My wife & I saw a couples therapist for a little while after baby was born to help with the transition & it was super beneficial. We have great communication but having a professional to talk to helped us navigate some of the more difficult parts of becoming new parents. I’d definitely recommend it if it’s accessible to you!
