#여성 김대리의 영어일기

The hot summer is over now, and autumn is on its way. 

How many more of my friends will get married this fall?

One of my friends got[갓] married recently, and when I wanted to be nice to her and said,

"You must be living in bliss now," *be on cloud nine, walking on air, be content (항상 v로씀)

she just replied,"It's so-so."

Based on what I hear from married people around me, I think that 

the first year of marriage isn't all that it's cracked up to be. *예상과 다를 때

=isn't what I thought it would be = isn't all that I dreamed

On the contrary, there are couples who say they came to understand each other better

after having constant fights throughout the first year of marriage. *newly weds, honeymoon phase.

There are others who say they are so happy during the first year, but a couple of years later,

it looks like their love has faded. *the fire of love has cooled down, love has died down.

Some people fall in love like crazy *fall for each other, passionate about each other,

have a burning love, head over heels in love

and get married but eventually get divorced. Looking at these examples, 

conflict (*fight, argument, misunderstanding, disagreement) between a husband and wife

is just a matter of timing.*time/when/where

*It's just husband and wife thing. 부부간의 일이다. (알려고 하지마라)

There aren't any marriages that are problem-free.

What really matters is knowing how to resolve such problems wisely.
