In a majority of marriages, a list of dowry along with a list of activities for the wedding are strenuously prepared. However, another vital list is just assumed and neither prepared nor its veracity checked. This list however comes into effect post-marriage and plays a vital role in all relationships. The list of expectations that is ignored at the beginning brings an end very soon.

If the above expectations are ascertained, discussed and agreed upon before marriage it will pave way for a smooth marital journey and better relationships. However, if these expectations are discovered one by one, they could be shocking, surprising, painful, disdainful, hurtful and demeaning.

So: one should strive to know the challenges, and get their expectations right. Then, jump in with both feet.
