We’re excited to introduce Dr. Sheri Fluellen! Your wedding day is filled with details of planning, flowers, photography, and that second cousin you haven’t seen since you were five… \ud83d\ude42 But more than this, it’s about blending your lives together and becoming husband and wife. With that brings a new series of challenges as you adjust to your new life together — and tons of questions.\u00a0 Dr. Fluellen is here to help!\u00a0 A private practice Psychologist in Cheyenne, Dr. Fluellen has a passion for working with couples.\u00a0 She says, “One of the best marital planning tools is helping couples to not overlook getting emotionally ready at the same time that they pick out their announcements and flower arrangements.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Thanks to Dr. Fluellen for sharing her insight with us!\u00a0 Have questions? Email brides@wyomingweddingsonline.com and connect with Dr. Fluellen!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Love is in the air!\u00a0 Not only are you planning a fantastic romantic wedding, but Valentine\u2019s Day is just around the corner, which only adds to your amorous feelings.\u00a0 Cherish those feelings and enjoy your relationship as the passion is still new and fresh.\u00a0 For many of you, this may be the last Valentine\u2019s Day you and your significant other have before you have joined together in marital bliss.\u00a0 Next year\u2019s Valentine\u2019s Day as a married couple will only be better!\u00a0 Or will it?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I don\u2019t want to instill any anxiety or self-fulfilling prophesies into your relationship, yet I do want to share some very real and practical advice about your soon-to-be newly married relationship.\u00a0 As a psychologist, I hear stories all the time from couples who mourn over changes in their romantic relationship that occurred after the big day.\u00a0 What happens?\u00a0 Was your significant other just putting on a good \u201cshow\u201d for you during courtship?\u00a0 The answer may fall somewhere between \u201cyes\u201d and \u201cno\u201d.\u00a0 While all relationships are different in their own way, there is some universality to changes in relationships after marriage.\u00a0 Your significant other may not have intentionally\u00a0tried<\/em> to put on a good show and hide their flaws (like the fact that he\/she often puts an empty milk carton back into the fridge or that he\/she has a little bit of a jealousy streak), but it is normal for us to put more effort into showing our good sides, than our not-so-pleasant sides.\u00a0 Imagine the peacock that proudly boasts it huge plume of beautiful feathers to attract positive attention from a mate.\u00a0 Reality is that we can\u2019t sustain that plume forever.\u00a0 At some point, we have to put our feathers down for a while.\u00a0 For some couples, this doesn\u2019t really happen until after marriage, especially if your courtship was relatively short (my rule of thumb is serious dating\/courtship for at least a year).\u00a0 So expect this to happen sometime soon and just be ready for it.\u00a0 How can you be ready for it, you ask?\u00a0 I offer two recommendations: 1) Show some grace to your significant others\u2019 shortcomings.\u00a0 No one is perfect, and if you only knew how they really felt about your flaws (that your chew your toe nails and spit them onto the floor in front of the couch), you might wish they showed you a little grace as well.\u00a0 2) Talk with your spouse\/fianc\u00e9e about what your expectations are in your relationship (including how to handle special occasions like Valentine\u2019s Day), how you want to be treated, and how you want to resolve the conflicts when they inevitably come up.\u00a0 If you both have already talked about each of your expectations for the relationship (that you want to spend every other Friday night out with the \u201cgirls\u201d or your \u201cbuds\u201d) and have a mutually satisfactory arrangement, then that can go a long way to avoid your mate\u2019s imperfection, the green ugly monster of jealousy, from rearing its ugly head.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

No relationship is perfect because no two people are perfect.\u00a0 Yet you can still have the most satisfying relationship imaginable if you plan ahead, talk with each other about what you think and feel about things, and show each other a little grace when needed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Have a fantastic Valentine\u2019s Day!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
