married without addressing deep issues

Marriage led to increased stress and fights due to my husband's smoking and my insecurities about his friendship with a female colleague.

What I wish I knew
"Addressing deep issues before marriage and being more empathetic in relationships"
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate openly and honestly with your partner, and address deep issues before marriage"
