Caution, Wet Floor!! The Sweethearts’ Mind-Set of “After-The-Wedding”

We were friends for 6 years and knew each other’s best and ugliest traits. Bas lamma fakarna netgawez, we both panicked!! We were approaching the big day with so much caution and a long list of rules. Stuff that only built a defense wall 2odamna e7na el etneen.
So here’s the thing. There’s a mind-set for the transformation of fairytale love stories after the big day :S Sweethearts, couples madly in love, continue to imagine of that day. The day they’ll never have to “go home” and split. They visualize how their “after-the-wedding” would be, and whether they’ll confirm and increase their love, or if it’s gonna be crap! Mahy aslaha mesh battee7’a ya3ny! If you’ve known each other for that long, and spent loads of time together, you should be able to imagine and prospect how your life as husband and wife will be. So seriously, can you think why some marriages end up as a wreck, especially through the first couple of years?
A Married Gal Says it All
Personally, I think there’s no need for flips or transformations. The way you live your life as sweethearts should continue while you’re married. A little bit of marriage IQ, from the real world, will give you more guts and avoid the buildup of that defense wall in between.
So if you’re thinking that after marriage you’ll become one, think again, which one? A big mistake :/ Seeing marriage as an agreement zone is one HUGE transformation reason. To never disagree is just like sweeping the dust under the rug and to keep the bonding between you, remember you’re two different people caring enough to bargain.
If you’ve been sweethearts for quite long you’d probably see through each other. Knowing there’s a bigger picture shouldn’t be freaking, it’s how you build more compatibility. You’ll master your guy or gal and your marriage will rock!
Just a Little Crazy!
El moseeba ba2a fel schizophrenia! Before marriage, a gal would just looove the way her guy takes control of situations b sha7’seyya qaweyya and all. One year after the wedding, he’s damn controlling and manipulative! Keda psycho rasmy and you’ll need a specialist :D
Neegy ba2a le 2elet el adab, “public places” are the perfect place. Serious arguments are magically solved in public places, just like dating couples normally do. You’ll just continue to talk without a scene. No slamming doors or walking away. And whenever you do get wild, keep in mind that three things will just mess up your relationship, rage bursts, contempt judgments and selfish demands.
High tone arguments are nothing you can avoid any way. Shammar komamak wed7’ol be 2alb gamed. Taking individual decisions 3ala 2ad mahy not accepted when dating, it’s a disaster in marriage. Continue with your deal that neither of you would take a decision unless the other agrees to it, willingly.

The greatest fear is usually responsibility. Tell me about it! Honestly, it’s tough. But that’s the sweetest thing about being married; you have endless ways to express your feelings and show love. I mean, even replacing a light bulb would mean you care :D
Mawdoo3 el flowers wel cards ba2a is completely connected to that. The slip is that gals think it’s the only way to be romantic. Guys on the other hand see romance from another angle, like getting those sunglasses she’s wanted forever.
The Sweetest Stuff :)
Out of all the dating stuff, sweet talks and spill outs come on the top of my list. I don’t even remember who my online chat friends were before I knew my hubby. Friendship is the strongest bond between two. Ya3ny what’s more cool than having your best friend move in to your house?
So what’s then the best thing about marriage? Commitment. And FYI, it’s loyalty and devotion, and not obligation. You don’t need a reason to love each other, but you do need motives to show you do. Relaxing by assuming it’s unconditioned love might imply you’re not concerned. You’d end up cold!
Those fantasies you think of day and night, should just massively multiply. Instead of just dreaming of a crazy wedding and a charming house, you’ll have infinite details to plan and foresee together. Every time one stage is over, you go into a new one. Refreshments mel a7’er to keep resetting your anticipation!
One common target I would just call adorable is a little one gurgling in your living room. With a bit of each of you, kids are a perfect symbol of compatibility. You’ll naturally agree you want them to smile. As much as you would enjoy play time, peaceful “alone” moments will be extremely appreciated ;)
So whenever you decide to get ready for the big day, just remember this. Your favorite stuff as sweethearts are the exact things that’ll sweeten up your life when you’re officially committed as husband and wife.
