Planning a wedding can feel all-encompassing, and in this age of Instagram, the pressures seem higher than ever to create a picture-perfect day. But getting married isn't the same thing as being married. It's not that people are unaware of the issues that add stress to their relationships - perhaps they've even fought about them already. But the optimism and momentum of an engagement often nudge couples to believe that challenges will work out on their own. It may seem that married life will somehow automatically make your partner better with money, more likely to clean up after themselves, or less addicted to their phone. But ceremonies and legal statuses don't tend to change our inherent personalities. In fact, if your incompatibilities arise from problems with gender roles - like inequality in the division of household labor within a heterosexual relationship - then there's evidence that these problems tend to grow even bigger after tying the knot, as cultural notions of "wife" and "husband" make traditional gender roles seep in further. So, don't put blinders on. There are nearly universal areas of strain within married life, and it's important to know how you'll weather them. Having differences within these areas is expected. But refusing to communicate about the realities of those differences is where things go wrong. Matching up perfectly isn't nearly as meaningful as building a road map to handle the differences that are there. Be proactive, respectful and realistic - and don't just assume that love conquers all. There's no guaranteed way to divorce-proof your marriage, but you can give it the best chance at surviving and thriving by talking to each other at every step of the way. Having conversations before you get married on big issues and making sure that your needs, wants, and expectations all line up can ensure that you're going into your married life on the strongest possible foot. When in doubt, communicate--ask questions. It's the shortest path through any obstacle.
