Yes, definitely it does!Marriage is a commitment! It is a bond between two individuals to spend their life time together and also it is a starting for making a independent family of their own. Before marriage every one is free and have no restrictions. We don't have any expectations from any one and we are also not having any commitments for some one. But once one gets married then his/her expectations from the spouse begins and the spouse also starts expecting certain things in return, thus it becomes give and take policy! Here the wife and husband become one and they try to come on one common platform so that their family life will sail smoothly! But since they are two different individuals they are bound to have some differences in their opinions and these difference in opinion makes differences between them and in desperacy each of them they feel it was better before the marriage! Apart from this after the marriage both the wife and husband has to play many more roles than being a spouse. They need to paly the role of ideal in laws. They are expected to listen to their seniors without back answering. They are suppose to move in a fixed manner and fixed way, acceptable to society! Dress code changes. Fashion changes. Ones style of behavior also needs to be changed! All these sudden changes makes one sick! But then these changes are inevitable and to be in society certain things are to be followed as to make the relatives and in laws happy! After all very soon the newly wedded couple is likely to become parents and they want to be good parents to their new arrival, so to be like that our elders have made some codes and conducts which one is supposed to follow! These things are felt as burden and newly wedded people definitely will not like these things, in today's modern world! But with the passing of time every thing becomes normal and these people also become like all others and they are engrossed in their family life! This is part and parcel of life and practically every one passes through this phase and it is nothing unusual! Thanks for initiating such a nice discussion and May God bless you!

That is part of life, both agreed to bond together thru marriage and you will likely to do thing together as one and need to consider each other feeling too. It is important that each gave each other some form of freedom so that each have a way out for breather.

Hi hemlatha. cCongratulations that u r getting married. Well life after marriage is a sure change. Life has become very unpredictable however i wish u luck and happiness. The major changes are usually for a girl, as she goes to accept a new home, a new person in life and that to share everything including her body. New family, new relatives and new rules which cannot be violated at any cost. Too much of work and responsiilities. I dont intend to scare u but thats the truth which u r aware of hemlatha. i know u r too young i feel to undergo so much of tension at the age of 24. However before marriage please make sure atleast twice that u would be able to adjust and be happy with the new situations. Well yes freedom is curtailed to a large extent, though not all men and families think the same. I wish u luck, happiness freedom and feel free to aproach us for any help if u need. We r always there to help u. :)

you dont lose your freedom presay, but you gain a friend for life and a marrige is something you go into for love. if you feel that your freedom is gone, you should not entre into something life commited. and a marrige is what you make of it not what you think it should be. communication and doing things together can make it a wonderful thing. best wishes

I think life changes in a good way. You know that there is always someone there for you to rely on and share things with. The burdens of life are halved and you can relax more knowing that you can share. You do lose some freedom, but with an understanding partner you can still have the best of both worlds and be really happy.
