Many people enter marriage with highly unrealistic expectations of what marriage will look like and what they’re entitled to get from it. Studies show that people who enter marriage with more modest expectations are at lower risk for divorce and are more likely to have higher levels of satisfaction. In every marriage and long-term romantic relationship, we have to grieve that we are not going to get the exact kind of relationship that we hoped we’d have and move to some kind of serenity around that.
