Do you think the first year of marriage is the hardest? ? Weddingbee ...

39.

Mrs.LemonDrop ?? June 4, 2011??

Our first year was pretty tough for a host of reasons. However, the main one being that we picked up and moved to Afghanistan for work! Seriously, talk about love being a battlefield or whatever, lol. But in all seriousiness, living here and going through some of the work-related things that we did, has be undoubtedly one of the most challenging times of my life. That said, I feel like DH and I are like superhero strong now. I constantly tell myself, "man, if we can do this, we can do anything!"?

But honestly, no, I don't think the first year is the hardest one. I suspect that it gets a lot harder around 15-20 years. Thats when everyone I know got a divorce growing up. I think people tend to grow apart, stop communicating, and taking each other for granted. And it takes a lot of effort not to do those things and to bring a relationship back from the edge. At least, that's what I'm preparing myself for.

ETA: DH and I have been married for 20 months; lived together an additional for 2 years before that (although we had a 6 mo LD when he moved to DC and I had to stay in Egypt for grad school).
