What Advice Can Help Us Avoid Problems During the First Months of Marriage?

I have been engaged for two months, and God willing, we will marry in six months. I want to prepare properly from the beginning. What are the most important things I should understand before and after the wedding?

My husband gave me this advice before our wedding: 'Keep room for playfulness and laughter between you, even during the hardest times.' By God, he was right.

Agree on financial matters with complete clarity before marriage: who pays for what, how you will save, and whether either person has debts. Money can become the biggest unexpected source of conflict during the first year.

Learn how to listen genuinely. Many major problems begin when one person feels the other does not hear them. It is the simplest skill and one of the hardest.

The most important thing is to have realistic expectations. Marriage is not a permanent holiday; it includes disagreements and pressures. Anyone who understands that from the beginning handles them better.
