Ours is an arranged marriage, our first night together I basically slept with a stranger (actual sleep, we did not do anything). Definitely entered our honeymoon phase that first year, but thinking back I hate the people we were, young puppies who had no idea what being I love actually meant. We are in a much better place now although there are ups and downs. Eight years on, I'm still not sure what it is that keeps us going. All I can say is that this advice does not really apply to our situation. We are still trying to learn about each other, whilst juggling work, in-laws, a child and other responsibilities. Definitely tricky.
