[quote=Anonymous]Can't answer you on that, it really depends on you and your spouse. First of all, where did you start from? Did you start on the same page or different ones? I know for me and my husband the only good thing about our first year was my daughter's birth and we each saw something different in even that. It took a while for us to find a core value for our relationship. It took a lot of give-and-take for us to find mutual ground. We just both had such different pictures of marriage and expectations. We were both trying to fill our needs and desires and not thinking that what really needed to happen was for each of us to try and "fill the other one's needs and desires."  This held us up "big time" from finding the blessings of marriage.
 
You may need a counselor to help you sort thru this. A third party might be able to guide the navigation. We insisted that our children go to premarital counseling so that at least they would start out on the same page. We can see that it helped. I suggest you try this resource https://bit.ly/2bYaQqv . Checking out this and following it up may help you find the pathway to a really great relationship and better years ahead. It really is up to you as to what you want from the relationship of marriage and what you are willing to do to make it happen. I am praying for you.[/quote]
