How hard are the first few months of marriage?

Im am 4 months married and was dating my amazing husband for two years before we married but i knew i had to as i could never love anyone like i love him. We have the occasional fights nothing too bad. I am 25 and he is 2 years older %26amp; i have been told that because we are both young and married after 2 years that we could experience a hard marriage.


Is that true?How hard are the first few months of marriage?
Yes to me the 1st 2yrs were hard as I got pregnant on my honeymoon .My hormones were going crazy I was young ppl tell us it not going to last I was 19 my husband was 22.But when we made it threw what some ppl call the 7 yrs itch I knew we were going to make it.I'm now 44 and 3 kids later we are still happily married it will be 25 yrs Oct 6 yes we still have our ups and Downs but we learned how communicate with each other communication is very important in a marriage.Good Luck to youHow hard are the first few months of marriage?
The stats about getting married young making the marriage really hard is more for people younger than you guys... like late teens to early 20s. By your age it really is not any harder than if you had waited until you were older. As for the time dating, 2 years is not too short of a time (especially if you were friends first).





The difficulty of the first few months really varies from couple to couple and depend on how much y'all have to get used to with the other person... vastly different upbringings can make it more difficult to get used to the way each other thinks and does things and can cause fights and stuff. Mainly, you need to just focus on communication, compromise, and commitment to each other and you will be find.
Marriage is about compromise. No one ever really tells you that marriage is work. It is a wonderful, beautiful union but it does take alot of effort. My husband and I have been married now for almost 5 yrs and we were together for 4 yrs before that and we are just now getting to a place in our marriage where I feel we have become comfortable...we've gotten through the newness and accepting each other for who the other person is. It's about learning each other. Don't worry...I have a friend that met and married her husband in 1 month and they are nearing their 18th anniversary.
Oh, man, the first 2 months were awful! We fought on our honeymoon, fought when we got home, fought when we were installing furniture, painting, everything... then, after a couple of months, it got better. 6 months in, and it took the form it has today, happy.





I don't think that it's easy for either of you, for similar and different reasons to numerous to name. Just remember that it's hard for him too! Learning how to live, how to love, and how to fight, after you've made this HUGE commitment might be among the most difficult things you'll ever do, but you have to do it and work at it to make it succeed, and it WILL be work. All good marriages are, and they're worth it, from what I can tell.
It all depends on the two of you and your ability to communicate and compromise and what your expectations of marriage are. I think 25 and 27 is a better place to start than 19 and 22, like my husband and I but we've been happily married for soon to be 8 years.


Don't expect problems or even worse create them. Enjoy the newlywed phase. It wont last forever so don't make it a bad time lol.


Good luck.
I think you are old enough to know what you are doing. (I am from Utah, if you are not married at 18 - you're an old hen!) Being 25 and 27 is a great age and those two years are a good foundation.





Marriage is hard, period. It is a huge commitment, and just know that you did it for a reason - love. If you are having problems, just talk about them. Hope it gets better, and congrats!
no personally i think its a great age to get married.. your not too young (meaning you've been there seen that) and you not to old ( ohh my back hurts or its to late to have kids ill be the oldest mom to take her child into pre school) every marriage has its moments of being hard but you just have to remind yourself why you married that person in the 1st place and what life would be like without them etc. don't worry about those people just live your life tog. and enjoy every moment because you never know what can happen
Marriage is not easy for any age group and it will take work no matter what. I got married at 23 and I was with my husband for 5 years prior. We have now been together 8 years and married for 3. It has taken a lot of work along the way but we are not going to give up! Just work at your Marriage and it will work!
I have been married for 20 years. We married at age 23. We survived, but we have had some incredibly rough bumps along the way. Those rough bumps came seven years into the marriage (yes, we were the stereotype). We somehow made it and we have grown stronger as a couple ever since. My best guess is that if you hit a rough patch, it won't come for many years.
My husband and i have been happily married 18 yrs and we have never found married life hard at all not even in the beginning of our marriage i guess cause we have always gotten along great and rarely fight.
Don't let anyone tell you what your marriage should be like. Your marriage is like no other marriage on the planet. Don't anticipate problems that don't exist - just because someone else had the problem doesn't mean you will.





Enjoy!
bumpy ride 4 sure.buckle up n u will survive.
