Summary
There's a quote that says, "Sometimes we create our own heartbreak through expectation. In this episode of #HowMarriedAreYou, we discuss unmet expectations we had for each other before marriage. Where do these expectations come from... our upbringing, what we've seen on TV and in the media, and/or what we've observed in couples around us??? What expectations do you have of marriage? If you're married, how have you overcome (or how are you overcoming) these expectations?
