Ok, we're married... now what?

Ok, you've survived being what seems to be millions of miles apart for half past
forever, you've filled out the forms, gathered your evidence and had one of many dreaded INS interviews.  You've moved in together in a new apartment and are
settling into newlywed bliss and happy that you'll be with each other every waking
moment... then reality hits.

You start fighting over the little things and some big things.  It's been 3 mos. in and
he/she STILL isn't working!  However, what you both need to realize is, despite the
supposed Equal Opportunity policies out there, NOBODY wants to hire an
immigrant no matter what country they're from and those who do only want to take
advantage of the fact they don't know their rights as an employee.  You'll both just
have to be patient, bone up on your rights so you don't get suckered and keep trying.

That pretty much goes for the rest of the stuff.  You'll find yourself bickering over chores, where things belong, and minor little habits that you each have but didn't
notice before. 

Also, you may notice over time that he/she just isn't as romantic and
attentive as they used to be.  This will probably bother you but don't let it.  As with
all couples you're so into day to day things and not in vacation mode so that your
more distracted and just getting used to each other.  It's good to be comfortable with
each other and the romance doesn't have to die all together.  Whenever either of you
feel sexy or sensual or feel like playing around take the initiative and just go with the
flow!  Also, treat yourself to a romantic getaway once a month even if it's just to a
neighborhood hotel for the weekend to get that vacation feel back again!
