For Our Married Couples;
What Year Was the "Roughest" of Marriage?
Thank you to the those who have shared. You are helping other couples last.
Hardest years were the 1st -6th year. We tried to do it without God. We decided to line our marriage up with the word of God. We just celebrated our 17th year anniversary this month. We are more in love now than ever.

I would have to say our first year. I say that because even though we had dated for 12 years the whole dynamics of the relationship changed after "I DO". This was now my Husband, my life partner & every decision I made from that day forward would affect not only me but him as well. For Him he could no longer go between my house & his mothers house. We both now had to realize that there was a shift in our priorities.
Dating was different from being married & we really were not fully prepared for the transition so there were a lot of arguments & "I Want a Divorce" was my favorite line. I had to learn that all we were having were disagreements that didn't mean we had to divorce but we had to learn to work together, respect each other and (remember) the commitment that we made to each other. We prayed for God to bring us closer together & help us to be respectful of each other & keep Him first in our marriage & it has been fine. We still disagree from time to time which is good because making up is so much fun!
Honestly, Kendra I can't say that we've had a rough year. Everyone warned us that the 1st year was going to be horrible so we braced ourselves for the worst but the worst never came. 6 years later and we are being warned about the 7 year itch. We're not the least bit concerned. We stated from day one that divorce is never an option and with Christ as our guide we're believing we will still be giddy in love 50 years from now! I can honestly say that every year for us gets better and better.
Hey Kendra Love-Oh Lord I would have to say year 7 because that's when we got our divorce. :)

(married for over 40+ years) told us year 1, 3 and 7. We were told that year one was rough because they were learning to live together. (With over 40+ years; year 1, 3 and 7 were worth it, huh?)
