Things that happen to every newly-married couple
You will most probably have your first disagreement with your spouse and in-laws in the first year of your marriage. For a woman, it could be something as simple as choosing the curtains of the living room (in case, you are living in a joint family) or getting a gift for your in-laws after your first vacation as a couple. On the other hand, a man might be annoyed by his wife’s over-dependence on her parent’s opinion and there will be moments during which an offhand comment about this would escalate into a heated arguement.

This is the best time to have the 'baby talk' and most couples utilise the first year of their marriage to understand each other and their exceptions to raise a family. Talking about babies does not mean the couple is planning to have a baby soon. The first year is the perfect period to set some 'baby goals'—whether to have kids or not, when to have a baby and how many etc.

Yes, the first year is also the time when most married couples face this question—“When is the good news coming?” Be it some family members or nosy relatives, they will occasionally drop this bomb. Some might mean it in good humour to just tease the newly-weds, but a few raise this question in all seriousness out of their curiosity about the couples’ family plans.

The first year of marriage teaches every couple the importance of money. This is the first time that the newly weds learn to bear expenses as a family. Every household eexpenditure would be shared (if both are working) and they would realise how their monthly budget has to change after marriage. They will learn to make new savings plans and adjustments to ensure financial stability.
