What are the biggest challenges in a marriage?

I often hear that "marriage is tough." I haven't been married very long but I often wonder what the different challenges are that couples face.
What challenges should one expect? And how long into a marriage before one can expect to experience these challenges?

Money, each person pulling their own weight around the house, sex can get a bit stale sometimes after several years.
ETA - definitely kids too. Parenting can be a big challenge

Not being selfish. If both can handle that, it's great.

I think it is finances, based on the stats.
Also, I would think there are a lot of marriages that happen because a the woman in the couple get's knocked up so they automatically decide to get married.. In other words, getting married for the wrong reasons.

Well for women, it's being a mom. It's the hardest job in the world you know

Communication and realizing that marriage isn't about being happy all the time. Also, constantly trying to not take the other person for granted. It's easy to get in a rut, and it's easy to blame it on the other person.

Bingo
Also, patience and flexibility....two cornerstones of any successful marriage, tend to erode slowly once you get past the so called honeymoon period where all is good with the world. Always helps to recognize this shortcoming and take a step back and re-energize those two things once you recognize the need!!

Anywhere from 1 month to 20+ years.....depends on stability of the foundation on which you got married, as well as your support system which can help out when needed.

Raising children and finances, seem the most obvious/most common. It seems pretty straightforward if your finances are in order and you don't have children. After that there are many small issues that will always need to be addressed, as in any relationship, but it seems that it will mostly come down to compatibility.

Staying on the same page in the child rearing arena. Presenting a unified front is important. Remembering to have the marriage take precedence over the child is important.
And don't tell me y'all aren't having kids... You don't know what the future holds.

Acceptance. When discussion on a different view point try to see the other side. Even if wrong one should accept the other view point and move on.

This. When you get married you have to realize there are gonna be times when you don't want to be near your spouse and don't particularly like them that day. That is just real life. Marriage is about choosing to still love that person even when you may not like them every single second of every day.

They never stop talking, so either A. You learn to listen or B. Expect a lot of arguments.
