For me personally marriage was a blessing, it calmed me down a great deal, my friends have all labelled me as "erratic" and "compulsive" in the past, sometimes aggressive and they were right, if I knew then what I know now I could have saved myself alot of heartache, anger and frustration.
I also had a great liking for alcohol which basically died down when my son was born and I became accustomed to the routines that marriage involves.
On the negative side, I personally feel "dull" at times, my sense of adventure has definitely died down and in general I have become one of those guys who likes to stay at home and venture out as little as possible.
Other than that, I enjoy marriage, the monogamy is difficult at times, but I have so far been faithful, but I'm sure monogamy is a concept most men struggle to follow, I'm not alone.

Wow tough one to answer, Porg. The relationship between my partner and me is still very young and we still have a lot to explore.
Best: There are a lot of good things I'm adapting to. Probably the idea that such a heavenly being would love me.
Worst: The fact that there is, for now, a very B I G ocean between us.

That my husband was an outdoor man. Always doing sport that i was not really keen on. Hang-gliding, Paddle-skiing, horse-riding . I often sat on the beaches for ages waiting for him and now it is Hang-gliding given up sitting on the hills waiting for him i stay at home and do Q&A or read a book. He is also very quiet and i am a yacker had to get used to the fact that he is not always listening to me. The best thing, is he loves me.

The best did not need adaptation: his gentleness and consideration and his love of food.
The worst: his family, a bunch of alcoholics in differing degrees and their ever present stance that my husband should have married a german.

The best thing - trust.
The most difficult - language. My wife is German, and very often, things just don't come out right. Although I do speak German, the family language is English, and the two cultures often create mild, or sometimes less mild, friction.
