So you had a dream wedding at the best venue, wearing the best outfit? Well, congratulations. But it’s time to get real now! Marriage comes with a bag of compromises. But of course, lucky are the ones who end up making few or no compromises. That said, marriage often brings with it a sea of changes and one needs to be prepared to wage the battle. And after all, a blissful marriage is one where you learn to appreciate the roses, despite the thorns.

So, here are 6 tasks you totally must be prepared for before you seal the deal. Even your mom might not have warned you about these!

1.    Marriage is full of compromises

No relationship will last unless you follow a give and take policy. And the same rule applies for marriages as well. A little compromise from both partners can make your marriage blissful and easier to handle. However, ensure you are not the only person compromising in the relation.

2.    Patience is a virtue

New house comes with new responsibilities and new members. It definitely is hard for any woman to fit into a new house, impress her in-laws and also stay in their good books. While this might be a cake walk for some, it could be a big battle for a few others. However hang in there, for everything will fall in place with some time and effort.

3.    Compatibility

This is one very important aspect you must keep in mind while choosing your life partner. Find someone who is compatible with you, trusts you and also lets you be yourself. A marriage without trust and compatibility can be dead as a dodo.

4.    Fights and arguments are common

There is no couple who don’t fight. And these fights and arguments will only bring you closer. However, dragging it for too long can make it bitter and also leave a bad aftertaste. So if you have a problem with your partner, talk it out and get done with it. Also, never seek a third person’s help to resolve your fights. It might only damage your married life further.

5.    Draping a saree

No one is perfect. You learn and master things with time and draping a saree also comes only with time. If you were someone who always wore western clothes, draping a saree can literally be a nightmare. However, the initial jitters and failures will all die down with time and some practice. So hang in there and don’t fret!

6.    You will have to multi-task

Before marriage, you might have someone to cook, iron your clothes, do the dishes, plan the menu etc. However, things change drastically after marriage. And if you are living away from your in-laws, you definitely need to be prepared to multi-task. From juggling home and work to managing your home and baby, you might not even have the time to realise when you started multitasking.
