Although they are very much in tune with the process, the truth is that they don't really know what's in store for them, at least not until they are officially declared a married couple.

In that sense, and although it may not seem like it, politics can sometimes be an assertive analogy for newlyweds. Experts say that the first hundred days of a government are a premonition of the years to come. And this same concept can be applied to marriage, since the initial period of cohabitation will set fundamental guidelines. If you are about to get married, you will be interested to know how towill be these first days of life as a couple, although of course, everything will always depend on the dynamics of each couple.

In the first week post-marriage

• 1. You won't believe it all happened so fast! It seems like only yesterday that they started with the organization and the date seemed so far away, but in the blink of an eye they already said yes.
• 2. They will feel a strange mixture of melancholy and emotion rarely experienced.
• 3. The new titles will take some getting used to, and it may sound a little strange at first, but that's only because of the habit they had of treating each other as boyfriends.
• 4. You will feel extremely tired and relieved, finally, to be able to sleep late and without worries.
• 5. They will give themselves permission to relax their eating.
• 6. You'll miss the hustle and bustle of the days leading up to the wedding. Although you're relaxed now, you'll feel you have plenty of time in the day.

Already settled in their new home

• 7. If you are living together for the first time, you will face domestic problems, details that you did not foresee in advance.
• 8. They'll spend hours unpacking the newlywed gifts, reading the cards, and trying to arrange the new furniture and appliances.
• 9. Although it's best to talk about it ahead of time, you'll need to decide how to manage the money and what household expenses each of you will be responsible for.
• 10. If you have the same start time, you'll need to determine who gets up and goes to the bathroom first, among other logistical issues.
• 11. They will also divide up household chores and create a schedule to help them get organized.

Back to social life

• 12. Although they will refuse some engagements because they are still tired, will try to get together with their best friends who I'm sure have been left a little bit aside in the last time.
• 13. If they like social media, they will update their accounts with the best photos of the wedding.
• 14. You will be updated on news and social networks, both with unread messages, notifications, pending photos to be tagged, and so on.
• 15. In the first stage and when they return to their respective jobs, they will miss each other more than they thought they would.
• 16. Their parents will call them often to see how things are going and if they need any help with things where they will need more than two hands, such as setting up heavy furniture.
• 17. You'll want to get away from it all for a few days out of town, so a weekend getaway won't do you any harm.

On the first month anniversary

• 18. They will host a dinner at home, either intimate or with guests, to celebrate the fact that they were getting married a month ago.
• 19. They will continue to remember anecdotes from the big day, get emotional and complete the photo album.
• 20. They will be very conscious of their new wedding rings and will never leave home without them.
• 21. If you have missed payments from the marriage, it's time to get your marriage payments in order and catch up on the outstanding dues.
• 22. There may come a few arguments and differences of opinion as a couple.
• 23. The first habits will also begin to appear on both sides, if you haven't been living together before.
• 24. You will need to reach consensus on family issues. For example, whose parents are we having lunch with this weekend? Should we invite yours or mine to the home first?
• 25. They'll question whether it's a good idea to have a pet or whether they're better off gardening.

The first few days of marriage will undoubtedly be the most exciting and revealing, so enjoy them to the fullest.
