Married people expect their partners to support them the way the did during the courtship, failing which leads to hurt feelings and a sense of betrayal, say experts.
When both couples are adding to the income and sharing the financial burden, it’s only fair that both partners understand and respect one another’s professions and its commitments.
Willingness to work on issues bringing disconnection between the couples may help avoid unnecessary tension stemming from miscommunication and misunderstanding.
Counsellors also say that even though couples may think it too far in the future, it’s imperative to discuss how they want to bring up their kids and what faith would they want the kids to follow.
Therapists say that when a couple is facing problems dealing with a particular situation, and being together does not help, then a break is not only desirable but necessary.
