Common Engagement Sources of Tension and Worry include:

- starting a family
- balancing careers
Michelle Obama says, "This was an eye-opener for me, that marriage is hard. But going into it, no one
tells you that. They just tell you, 'Do you love him? What's the dress look like?' If our ups and downs
in our marriage can help young couples realize that good marriages take work…The image of a flawless
relationship is the last thing that we want to project. It's unfair to the institution of marriage and it's unfair
for young people who are trying to build something, to project this perfection that doesn't exist."
