They used to talk, almost everyday, even after they got married because of some passport and visa issue she couldn't join him immediately, which gave them plenty of more time to talk and talk and talk more, something they didn't realize would actually make matters bad instead of making it better. We would think that talking when in long distance would make matter so much easier for two people who are about to start a life together with each other but the fact of the matter is, what I personally feel and have come to realize that in certain cases it leads to so much more misunderstandings.

The glass looks half empty to some while half full to the other after all.

When they started living together she realized what he meant when he said he is a very active person and he realized what she meant when she said she is someone who likes privacy. Soon his active nature left her tired and her privacy made him lonely, he couldn't sit still while she wanted peace and quite and not many people around.

As two people who want to live together peaceful, make sure you talk to each other in a way that there is not even a single door for misunderstandings but more than that, since we presume and think that we might be able to do what we haven't done before and excel at it, like being a husband or being a wife or most importantly being a daughter in law, we start making promises which we don't even know how to keep when life hits on our face, so hard and so fast that we are left breathless.

Don't make promises you won't know you could fulfill, both of you, otherwise you will be left wondering about the fact that she said she will adjust in a big joint family but now all she wants is a house to herself and weekends with the family, and he said he is romantic but he doesn't even tell me am beautiful when am dressing up just for him, no roses, no gifts!!!

When entering into matrimony, into nikah, remember that 1. Allah made you two for each other for a reason 2. Forget whatever you thought married life would be like 3. You might have told each other many things about you but when you start living together it will still hit you in the face very very unexpectedly, so enter nikah without any expectations, everything becomes easier that way.
4. Once you said Qubool Hai or I Do there is no turning back, there is only change and understanding that you have to bring in each other, along with sabr, patience and loads of it.

Marriage is called half the Deen for a reason, that is what they realized, because slowly but surely his stubbornness started to decrease, her controlling nature reduced, there anger deminished and they saw in each other changes that no one could have foreseen. All of that because they wanted to live with each other till eternity and even after that.

May Allah put khair and afiyat in all marriages and protect the ummah from divorces and separations. May Allah make it easy for wife's and husband's what they might think as difficult, for Allah surely hates the seperation of two souls, and so may Allah subhaanaTaala make it easy for us all, and grant us victory over shaitan from his plots. Ameen
