After the honeymoon...

The honeymoon is often the sweetest time of a marriage. It's a time when the newlyweds put aside work and daily routines to enjoy a wonderful vacation. However, after returning to "reality," many daily life issues can arise. Without thorough psychological preparation, many couples easily fall into a "crisis" shortly after getting married.

Having just celebrated their honeymoon, Ms. Le Nhu Huynh and Mr. Huynh Gia Hung, residing in Day Huong 3 hamlet, Thanh Thoi An commune (Can Tho City), still cherish the sweet memories of their newlywed life. According to Ms. Huynh, there have been many changes between being a couple and being married. "Before, we used to spend a lot of time together, but now that we're married, it's not as frequent. There are times when we get angry with each other, but we always make up quickly. I'm gradually adapting to living under the same roof. Currently, our married life is very happy," Ms. Huynh said.

After returning from her honeymoon, Ms. NNT, residing in An Ninh 1 hamlet, Ke Sach commune, once again found herself feeling "lost." "Before the wedding, my husband always cared for and worried about everything for me, but a week after the wedding, he paid less attention to me than before. We've argued a few times due to disagreements. We've gotten angry and then reconciled, but to make our marriage strong, we're learning to accept each other's personalities and lifestyles," Ms. T confided.

Shortly after getting married, Mr. TNH, residing in Nam Hai hamlet, Dai Hai commune, became disappointed in his wife. He complained that his wife was still childish, dependent, and unwilling to do housework. "I work more than 50km from home. When I get home in the evening, I hear my mother-in-law scolding my wife for not helping with housework, just staying in her room looking at her phone. I asked her about it and advised her, but she got angry and demanded to go back to her parents' house. Honestly, I'm very confused now, and I only know to rely on my mother-in-law to advise her. To prevent the 'distance' between us from widening too much, I think I should spend more time paying attention to my wife's feelings and talking to her more, so that she gradually gets used to the way of life in my family," Mr. H shared.

According to Ms. Chau Ngoc Thuy, a lecturer in Psychology and Education at the Faculty of Education, Soc Trang Community College, for a lasting and happy marriage, young couples should attend pre-marital and family classes before getting married. They should learn to listen to each other and avoid judging each other when disagreements arise. During conflicts, they should talk to each other with respect and be able to control their emotions when angry. A couple who knows how to compromise is not weak, but mature in marriage, and they should work together to build a family instead of blaming each other and trying to win every argument.

Ms. Chau Ngoc Thuy, M.A., advises that couples need to be clear about finances, such as spending, economic responsibility, and setting future goals. This will help reduce many conflicts. Marriage needs to be nurtured with small acts of care each day, expressions of gratitude, sharing, conversations, and private time together, because love cannot survive without care and attention. Couples need to listen, understand each other's perspectives, and know how to heal instead of hurting each other. When conflicts persist, couples should quickly seek appropriate support, such as professional help or advice from experienced family members with neutral viewpoints.
