Letting Go of Marriage Expectations

It’s okay to have doubts (sometimes). We’ve all been taught that “you just know” when you want to marry someone, but that’s not a universal truth, and it places a huge burden on couples to never have doubts about their relationship. However, being uncertain about your marriage at times is completely normal, and it can even lead to a greater understanding of your relationship. Is there a problem that’s not being addressed? Are there aspects of your single life you lost, but maybe want to pursue? Should you talk to your partner about a need you have that isn’t being met?

While doubting your marriage over a long period of time may be a sign that there is a deeper problem within your relationship, having these momentary uncertainties is healthy and shows that you are allowing yourself to express all of your feelings and fears, even the ones that might make you uncomfortable.
