Married Bliss or Wedded Woe.
According to a certain San Francisco psychologist many of those ladies that have just entered into married bliss are now suffering from what she calls post-nuptial depression.
A feeling of sadness has entered their lives! As most couples now live together before entering the state of marriage, how do they expect a day of pomp and ceremony and those few words spoken, to change what they already have together.
A ring on her finger to show her married status is the only difference, so why is she feeling depressed?
It could be that after all the excitement of leading up to the special day, she is left with the feeling of emptiness, and nothing special to look forward to.
All the months of planning are finished, now she has a husband instead of a lover and the passion may have faded slightly.
Perhaps when living together as a couple she made him feel special and ignored any faults, after all he could have just walked out and they would be finished, but now they are tied together and she feels more secure.
Those faults that were ignored are now pointed out and rows begin, now married life has begun.
Of course not all marriages turn out this way. Dr Michelle Gannon says that this happens to ten per cent of marriages and they end up by visiting marriage guidance websites and marriage guidance counsellors.
This was based on married couples in California, so lets be sensible and ignore this nonsense, your marriage will be what you make it, for better or worse.
