Congratulations! You did it! You tied the knot!
The ceremony is over, the guests are gone and now it's just you and your spouse. So now, what? If you're anything like I was, you have no clue what comes next.
- What does it mean to be married?
- What are you expected to do?
- Do you move into his place?
- Does he move into yours or do you get rid of them both and find something new?
- What about kids?
- Do you immediately get started having a family or do you wait a year or two?
- Are you expected to be a housewife, or will you try to manage both a career and family?
I am sure you have many questions about the journey you are about to embark on. Depending on who you ask, you will get different responses from different people. Each generation has its own expectations and ways of handling a marital situation. Lucky for you, I am here to give you some credible guidance. I'm going to share information that I didn't have when I became a newlywed.
