Of course, couples of all ages can benefit from this type of relationship. However, younger couples are especially dependent on freedom to grow and change if their marriage is to be blessed with longevity. The key to your matrimonial success lies in the expectations each of you has of yourself and of your partner. Neither of you are capable of predicting how you or the other will evolve. For your marriage to succeed you must enter into it expecting change and able to recognize it as it happens.
Communication is paramount.
All marriages depend on effective communication, but you are likely to have more critical issues about which you will need to communicate effectively. Communication is not enough. One of the great hazards of early marriage is financial pressure. Knowing how to minimize this burden will enable you to maintain the flexibility necessary for continued growth. Young couples often get lured into material acquisitions before they have the financial stability necessary for a mortgage, an auto loan, and the myriad expenses of maintaining a household.
