Why the life is different before marriage and after marriage?

Why the approach, needs and expectations of the spouse are different after marriage? Is it because the marriage imposes reasonable restrictions which are not there before marriage? or is it because spouse find it difficult to adjust each others expectations which lead to separation and divorce?

    Many reasons:

    1. Good and True side

    U know a person only after u start living with them... b4 marriage we always want to show the good side of our selves then finally after marriage our true side is reflected to each other

    2. Expectations

    Its a basic nature of man kind to expect ALOT from their spouse thats the big mistake (frankly) we expect alot and get nothing so we get

    disappointed (Welcome to the world of Marriage)

    3. In-laws pressure

    Attimes our parents even after marriage like to control our lives, we start living the life of others to an extent even our desires remain desires only so then the conflict in the marriage starts.

    and it goes on and on ... so if u want to have a happy life after marriage - try to accept each other without changing them, try to have an individuality as a couple from day one - don let anyone rule ur life but yet respect ur elders.. Ladies - please keep away the unwanted needs and expectations it will help..

    Honestly, I think that if your life is different after marriage then there is something a bit off. You are supposed to be marrying a person you know and love. You can't expect someone to change just because they are married. Learn to be happy with your significant other's shortcomings, and you will not have to worry about 'adjusting' after the wedding. If there is a difference, then I guess I just agree with other people: you have high expectations beforehand and they cannot be met. If you think that your husband (or wife) is going to change in one way or another after the honeymoon, you are in for an unpleasant surprise. And by the way, I am also a firm believer in living with the other person before marriage so you have an idea of what it is going to be like for the rest of your life.

    Some people don't let on to their partner their true identity till after they've got him/her under lock and key (supposedly through marriage), even if they did live together before that. But yes I think there is a subliminal expectation that because "you signed this piece of paper, you are mine to do with as I order you".

    I think that some people like to make it seem like once they get married the way things were should now some how change and in my opinion, that makes absolutely no sense. You shouldn't all of a sudden have higher expectations and needs just because your relationship is now legal.If you marry a man who liked to drink and stay out all night before you married him you should expect the same thing once you get married,if not don't marry him because he's not liable to stop just because you're now his Mrs. If your girlfriend liked to sleep with different guys, don't expect for her to all of a sudden be a one man woman just because you decided to give her your last name. If you don't like how some one is when you're just a couple, i suggest you not marry them and whatever you did to get someone to want to marry you, you should continue to do that same thing once they marry you or else you can't be surprised when you receive those divorce papers.
