Transitions to Marriage

Someone that was married in our class commented about how the first transitions into marriage are difficult. She talked about how they went from dating seriously but then getting a break from each other every night and going their separate ways for a couple hours. When you marry you are stuck with that person at all times. There are not many breaks and all of the little flaws that you can fix during your time apart are exposed. Typically in our religion we do not cohabit before we get married. We go from being told not to spend the night or too much alone time together to living with that person and being with them at all times within the matter of one day. I think it is important to be very understanding and open during the first transitions of marriage.
