how does your life change after marriage

Yes your life changes when you get married. You now have to start thinking for two and make decisions that are not only in your best interests, but also the best interests of your spouse and your relationship together. To me, marriage is having an equal partner in which to live life with. I think that it makes your life more enjoyable to share it with someone than to live it alone, but not everyone believes this, so it is a personal decision. Marriage will teach you patience, tolerance, commitment, love, forgiveness, companionship, negotiating skills, and so much more. No you don't have as much independence as you had when you were single, but to me the positives definately outweigh the negatives. Have a great night too!

My husband and I have been together for 5 years, 3 months and married for a little over 4 months. Since we lived together before marriage, I don't think there was much to adjust to once we were married. Many newly weds have to worry about children and finances, both in which we had already shared with one another. We brought two children into the marriage with us and we couldn't be happier. The only difference is we have a certificate now that proves that we're husband and wife, and we have the legal ties of being married. Our relationship has not changed any since and the arguments have come to a minimum.

Hello dear jhl. I love my life after marriage though I enjoyed more freedom before getting married. I love married life because I feel more motivated in my life and work after marriage and I feel more responsible for my family. When I get back home, I have someone to talk to and to share with me my happiness and my other feelings that I have every day. With a child coming into our life, it seems that our life is busier and we are happier because of our child or children. I love my life after marriage and I am happy that I don't have to remain single. I enjoy my marriage. Thank you so much for your nice discussion, dear friend.

Your life will never be the same again after marriage. It is your wake up call to reality. You will not think anymore of romantic dates with your partner but your concerns and priorities will be the bills and the kids. You will not think of yourself only like you did when you are still single, you have other persons to think already. This is the reason why you have to be prepared emotionally and financially before getting married. And make sure that the partner you will choose is the one that you want to grow old with. After all, it will be the teamwork between the two of you that will make marriage work.

See, it depends on how u take the things. In my case, i found evthing good at last........... means there were arguments/differnce of opinions, discussions ets, and at the end ev thing got sorted out. If end is good, all is good!

Life is not bed of roses; afterall - nor it is full of pains too ........

I have been married for more than half a year now. At first, we are not used to it. Living together under one roof. There's always disagreement over some petty issues. But we have talked about it, and both of us are trying to improve ourselves. I have to say that after marriage, our responsibility are more, you get less ME time, but the good thing is, when you are happy/ down/ sad/ angry/ disappointed. there's always your other half sharing it with you.

good day.. I haven't got married yet so I can't contribute to this discussion but I find it interesting though because I'm gonna get married this year and I need some insights as to what married life is like. I'm enjoy reading this very much informative discussion.

Hi ya jhl930

For me life certainly changed after marriage. His expectations of me as his wife increased dramatically though not overnight. I think some people change the second that piece of paper gets signed and they feel they own that person. I don't think it is something you can figure out before you marry cos what are you going to say to your partner 'are you going to change after we wed?' Just because of my bad experience I certainly wouldn't say it is the case for everyone.

Well I just celebrated my one year anniversary and well I say nothing has changed for us we are the same as always. Im no expert on this by any means but i think if you let things change they will.

hubby and i have been married for 20 years and hopefully even before you start thinking of getting married you stop thinking singularily about yourself and think about the other person as well. this was hard for me at the beginning, because i am an only child.
