In your relationship with each other you too found something that was missing from yourself in your partner but also found someone completely other which complemented you in a new and profound way. While that is great for beginnings its alone is not enough to sustain a relationship much less a marriage, it takes constant nurturing.

There are two things that you can start to do that may help you in making this transition smoother.
