Hi Hub_77

I definitely agree with Pomegranate regarding communication. It is vital throughout your entire relationship. Be sure to let your wife know how you feel, what you think, etc. and communicate effectively. But do not make personal attacks. You have both gone through major changes ~ big stressors for everyone ~ and should work towards getting through these challenges together.

As Pomegranate said, individualism is also very important. (un)Fortunately, it is a fact of life. That is very hard for some people (like myself ) to accept. But it is very true. While you are in love with your wife, and want to spend almost all of your time with her, you both need to hold onto a little bit of yourselves. It can be very easy to lose your identity ~ which can cause a lot of resentment and other negative emotions. The individualism allows you both to continue to grow, and your marriage, which is very healthy and necessary.

I wish you and your wife the best. Take care!
