What life changes happen when you Marry?

ADDITIONAL: OH MY GAUD! I can't believe I wasted my time on a 16 year old boy who has absolutely no plans on marriage. What a HUGE waste of my time.

Go away little boy. Grow up.

When you say "I DO" you also say "I no longer". You no longer run around town chasing skirts. You no longer run around smoking pot. You no longer act like a fool. You no longer ignore important matters. You can expect to watch your single friends have a good time WITHOUT YOU.

She better be all that to you or you won't be happy.

I'm married 40 years in six more days. Have been happy beyond description. Raised five daughters and have had a wonderful career. Don't know how I managed to become so blessed, but I did. Nuff bout me.

You and your new wife need to be every bit as happy in the future as you are now. Laughter has been a strong part of my life. Laughter with my wife and my girls has kept us very close. My wife and I date still. This afternoon we're going to a spa together. In April we're going to Circ-Di-Solei. (if that's how it's spelled) Dating is very important. I can't mention what I'm doing for our 40th because she may read this. We have no secrets. But we do keep surprises to ourselves till the time is right.

Marriage is just a first step toward the rest of your life. If you cherish her, if she's your best friend, your companion, your confidant, your support (when times are rough) and you can be all those things to her too then you stand a chance. If you bring children into the world then you are in store for loves you never could imagine possible. I remember the day I held my first little girl. Those tiny blue eyes looking up at me - burning deep into my heart a love I would have never thought possible. Four more girls - four more times the love. Then just when I though it could never get any better - I held my first grand daughter. There are no words to describe the love I felt. Imagine the best you can then multiply that by infinity and only then can you begin to get an idea of how much happiness you could have.

Marriage isn't for the selfish. Not for those who think of themselves first. You have to be giving. Self sacrificing. Willing to take a bullet for your family. Willing to step in front of a speeding train. Not that I'd advise doing that, but you must be willing. If you don't have that feeling then I'd say delay the plans. Don't cancel them. But don't rush into something you don't fully understand.

Look at what love is. What friendship is. What family is. if those things are for you then go ahead. If not - don't waste your time (or hers). I've seen plenty of marriages fail. Even my first marriage failed. Rather quickly too because she wasn't ready to give up the single life.

Oh well. Nuff bout me. Would help if you told us your age and how long before you plan to marry.

Hope this helps.

Proud father of FIVE girls. WAY TOO MANY YEARS experience.

the woman changes beyond recognition , she now has a secure hold on your life and can ruin it in a moment , no sensible man will ever get married today the courts are too pro women on every aspect of marriage and divorce, a divorce should mean exactly that , the end no support , no claims on the man's income or pension and no mythical amount due to the "contribution " the wife makes to the man's career, - enjoy

Anything you didn't discuss before marriage will be treated like you should have known that about her before getting married and your advice on here for help will suck. Other than that, nothing changes. Just make sure her beliefs are similar enough to yours before you tie the knot (or take an arrow to the knee) so you can make sure conflicts aren't in your future.

The ONLY thing that should change when you marry is you have a legal document that claims you are legally married. You will live with each other, love each other the SAME as you now do. It just makes your lives legally married as apposed to dating...the best to you...:)

Your married, that what happens.

At the ceremony, or life in general after marriage?
