Why do people change after marriage?

It is after the marriage that there is a drastic change in ones life, but why do people change their attitude towards others. Rather it should be a pleasant change for a good, but I have seen girls changing a bit towards their approach towards the people around them!

There is a saying that goes like this "You'll never really know this person until you're married" Things may seem sweet and nice on a first date, courtship and up until the wedding day. However the truth is, even the nice princess you once knew before will turn out to be an annoying nagger. To overcome the changes, you two should have a strong foundation of your relationship and both of you should honestly love each other because no matter how many trials will come, love will still prevail. That's why it's really important to think a hundred times before marriage because it's a vow one should be accountable for the rest of his/her life. In a marriage it's also important that you make God the center of your relationship so that no matter what happens He'll guide you in whatever trials both of you will face. God bless.

This is soo complicated that no one can understand why people change after marriage... - Towards spouse - maybe it is because they have already got the person they wanted or maybe they got the person they didnt want. - Towards friends - maybe the spouse doesnt want him/her to go out with friends and want to spend more time with each other. - Towards family - maybe spouse maybe complaining and nagging about family members. All these are maybes and are very subjective to different people. So no one can really tell why people change their attitude most of the time after marriage.

yes you are right.... as long as one partner is flexible the problems can be minimized to a maximum...

I supposed people tend to get WAY too comfortable in a marriage. They feel they don't have to do or say anything anymore and that's okay. Sometimes there is just no effort put into it at all yet it is expected to be a lifetime commitment. How can it survive if it is being starved of everything needed in a marriage to stay alive?

I don't think that all people change, but you are right, some do. My husband and I have been together for 3 years and things changed a little after we were married. He became more responsible, and I have learned that it is okay to count on someone else. I have seen people change for the worse too. I have seen men become extremely possessive and women become complainers and very lazy, expecting to be waited on hand and foot. I have watched a few marriages crimble because of things like that. I think that in my case, we both changed because we are growing closer and closer and realizing that neither of us is going anywhere. I think that those who change for the wrost do so because they feel that once they are married, they no longer have to be kind, and/or, they set their expectation level way too high.

Actually I have seen men change a lot after marriage. They can be very sweet before the vows and then afterword they act as if they do not have to try anymore because they now own the woman. It is not said but it is implied. I think a lot of the problem with marriage is the misconcepts that people have about love, romance, and marriage from movies, media, etc. I know that I had a really wrong understanding of how marriage should be when I was young. Now that I am older there have been a lot of adjustments and it finally feels like its comfortable. We change all the time. It would be nice if we can just love one another and not expect more of a person than they are able to give.

My husband and I have been married for some years but we don't change anything between us nor to the people around us. Everything still remain the same here, we still enjoying each other company and we still manage some time to meet and get along with our friends, family and relatives

may be you both understand each other yet some mange odd things and provokations, so if you are having no problems may be its worth it, but at times many people change with the changing circumstances!

I think it's because people get married for the wrong reasons. When people feel they should get married because they want to make things more serious and settle down well that's where things go wrong. I think getting married should be for the reason that you want to show your love for one another and everyone else. Also some people get married too soon, I think that may be the reason some peoples attitudes change after they are married too.
