The 1st year of a marriage is known as the "paper year". Why? It is in this trying year that married couples try to understand one another better in another way- living under the same roof, sharing responsibilities, household chores, money and many more. It is also the most vulnerable year of a marriage. Any untoward accident or argument will tear them apart. It is the most fragile year.
But all this could be viewed differently. In my opinion, the 1st year is a white sheet of paper where married couple will paint their life together, fill the paper with more thoughts and understandings of one another. It is also the time where they are to create and plan their dreams together, making married life colourful in their own way. It won't be as vulnerable and fragile if they constantly reflect their many challenges till this day.
The process of a relationship is like making paper; firstly we'll find the perfect log, cut it down, send it to the processing plant and there the log will undergo many rounds of treatments and such before a paper is being produced. In a relationship, we spend time to look for our perfect match, start to know them and so on, we'll go through many trials and tribulations. If we succeed, we move on and finally make the biggest decision in two persons life to be together as one. So the "paper year" is really an interesting year. Remember your roots(?) and stay on. Remember the love that you once build and continue to make it stronger.
