Episode Christian Couples Break Down What To Expect Your First Year of Marriage
What if you love the person you married, but the first year looks nothing like you expected?
The honeymoon is awkward. Sex isn't what you imagined. One of you is focused on providing while the other is wondering why you feel so far apart. And the things you most need to talk about feel like the hardest things to say out loud.
In this episode, Alley and Elijah Vallotton are back with Elles and Daniel for an honest conversation about the honeymoon and the first year of marriage. We're sharing what surprised us, where we got disconnected, and the conversations that helped us find our way back to each other.
We'll talk about:
• What happens when your honeymoon doesn't live up to the expectations • Why waiting until marriage doesn't mean sex will feel effortless right away • The difference between having sex and being able to talk about it • How the pressure to provide can crowd out emotional connection • The fears we kept to ourselves and what happened when we finally said them • Learning to hear something hard without immediately taking it personally • Why repairing after an argument is a skill you have to build • How trusted mentors helped us make sense of what we were experiencing • Being a safe place for your spouse while having support of your own • Where to start if talking about your inner world doesn't come naturally
If you're single, dating, or engaged, this is a look at the parts of marriage you might not hear about before the wedding. And if you're newly married and finding it harder than you expected, we hope these stories give you a place to start talking. You don't have to have marriage figured out on day one, and you don't have to figure it out alone.
