How can you and your partner manage change throughout your marriage? Do you both have what it takes to face the challenges change can bring?
Change is as inevitable as death and taxes, yet when people marry they don’t think very much about all of the ways their partner might change over time. Changes can come in many shapes and sizes and at various points throughout life and marriage. Changing career paths, changing religions, changing whether or not you want children or how you choose to spend or save money… The list goes on and on.
Sometimes dealing with change can be very difficult and confusing and can also put much stress on a marriage and both partners individually.
