Hi guys.. I need your opinion about a relationship, is it true when the time of dating everything such as a wonderful thing? and when you got married everything will be change and being the opposite? if it true, so why so many people decide to get marry?

it all depends on people. relationship needs to be nourished and it does not stop once you get married. the problem is most of the people nowadays rushed and get marriend but in the end they will regret it. they think being married is easy but it is not for you need to work it out and both of you should do. the sweetness should not disappear and i know most of the couples nowadays after getting married forget about it and sometimes take for granted their husband or wife. they shouldn't because we should keep the fire of love flaming.

It does not happen this way always. It all depends on the type of person who got married to and what was your expectations when you got married. Some people get into marriages because they expect to achieve something or for specific reason and when that thing that they expected to achieve is no longer there, they easily slip away. Marriage is a commitment and no one should get married unless you are ready.

its because as the couple grow, more problems and trials will be encountered by them which will test how strong they are in their relationship. in the beginning where problem seems to be nonexistent, of course only the sweetness of the relationship prevails. however as time passes by, the couple will get to know each other and get used to each one's character. however, given the fact that couples do face trials, they must face it together and should never let negativity prevail in the relationship. it should be the love and the romance that they first felt with each other.

hi there, my boyfriend and i have been together for almost 8 years now. it is not a perfect relationship because we have our ups and downs too and we are far from from each other. i am not sure what happens in the future but i am happy with him right now. he gives me everything he can and still treats me like a princess ever since day 1, he just loves to surprise me so i think those wonderful moments doesn't just happen in the beginning. we plan to get married but it is still a long way to go... i just hope everything goes smoothly....

I think a lot of it depends on the people in the relationship planning on getting married. I think that a lot of people these days marry for the wrong reasons, and that's why a lot of marriages seem to fail these days. It does appear that marriage these days isn't a really wise choice since most of them are failing, but I think everyone has a different type of situation. At the end of the day I think it depends all on the people and the reasons for wanting to get married.

After you get married its different for different people. After my and my husband married dating seems more special but then again we do have 1 1/2 children so dating is rare for us now then it was a year ago when we didn't have kids. But I don't need a lot of dating or going out to be happy with my husband. Any time we have together is better then nothing at all. We weren't much of daters before we had a baby either so its just the same with few dates. But it makes our dates more special when its just the two of us then when we go out with our daughter and our unborn baby.

You got a point with that it is true that during the time of courtship everything you see from the person who will be courting you are all but positive aspects neither you can see the negative attitude that one is possessing right because one is trying his best to win a girls affection and love but you can't say that it generally applies to everyone because there are individuals who are sincere all the way till he marries you but perhaps our ability to gauge the attitude of our future partners depends on our own keenness maybe you befriend their friends,make acquaintances with their families , with his workmates at least by these methods or by such acquaintances you can slowly know the person and can dig in his real identity because life wouldn't be fair to be with somebody that you have not known that exactly right and it isn't good to feel that you have regretted your actions at the end and has not make any interventions out of it.Well obviously people marry in order to be with someone whom they loved and care for the rest of their lives as long as that person whom you wish to be with is worthy of ones' affection and love.

Marriage, Babies... - They are two of the great joys of human life...
Well, my opinion is that at the start of every relationship, both parties are on their best behaviour and desperate to impress. While in time, this intensity of mutual pleasing fades, and a certain comfortable familarity sets in. However, this does not necessarily mean the relationship is doomed, far from it; relationships can and so survive this process. As for marriage...it's a fundamental need in most people. They are willing to rish whatever problems or disillusionments come their way, for something they desire on a very deep level: marriage; security; intimacy; children; family. Its the way the world goes. People have always gotten married, and always will. Happy marriages take hard work; give and take on both sides; but many marriages continue to be successful; loving; long-lived.

Marriage is a social obligation but to keep it sweet throught your life one need to have love, trust and adjustment throughout the life. When dating people tend to put up their best to impress the other and so the sweetness. When you marry you should keep in mind that this relationship should work for a lifetime and should workhard for it. Happy mylotting.

Somehow it is true. Most relationship starts with too much sweetness, caring and full of love. In the long run- it seems to tear away all the good start. Although this doesn't apply to every relationship or couple- but it does happen. It depends on the couple, how they handle each situation and the relationship they have to make it last forever.

I think not all relationships are like that, in my opinion. There are still some couples that end up being happy and sweet even after they get married. It is true however, that it is much sweeter when you are still in the first years of your relationship, but there are so many ways we can do to make that relationship last with full of happiness and sweetness and most of all, full of love.

Because in the beginning everything is new, we believe every word, accept everything but then we get used to it, we look with different eyes and we need more.. and after that we need ourselves the most.

I am 24 years old I have been with my husband for almost 7 years and will have been married for 6 years in october. Unforuntely this was true for us. We had a crazy kind of love in the beginning, but it seemed to dwindle and we went through alot. but now once we both sat down and realized that if we want what we had we are both going to have to work at it. We have to make a conscious effort everday to make the other fall in love with us each day. And this is not always an easy task because there are days that I want to rip my husband's head off and visa versa but we know either way we still love each other and will get past the hump we are in. And even though life is not like it was in the beginning the most important part is that we decided to spend our future together, so the present might seem sucky but we will dig out of it. And I love being married i think the idea of choosing to stay single is crazy. I could not imagine my life without being my husband's bride. I love my last name, and while my maiden name was amazing I love the fact that I took my husbands name and we brought children into this world and they get to live on with this name. I feel like marriage is nesscarry and I would never trade what I have with my husband for the begininning even though our start was good, our future will be amazing
