Can Marriage Change People?

Marriage is something people should take seriously. When people get married, I believe that this can change them. Priorities changes and making decisions is not only for one especially if it also concerns the other and the relationship. What changes have you noticed to married couples or yourself if you are already married?

People change their habbits, the way they behave, speak, music they listen do things that they like people that they hang out with or even talk to marriage can dramatically change people if you ask me.

My husband and I definitely changed a lot. We both used to be self-centered. Marriage helped us be more thoughtful of the other.

Marriage does bring out maturity in some people, especially when they already have kids.

As for me, my marriage made me a complete person. It is my marriage that thought me to be even more responsible and hardworking.

I am divorced. It does changes things, and a lot more than you would realize. It is a lot of a responsibility. It is something that people should not go into lightly.

Of course the marriage change your life, but it should not change people. When this happens the marriage is usually followed by a divorce.

What if it's a change for the better? I used to think the same, but now I believe that couples must make some changes to make their relationship work. I'm basing this on my own experience. My husband and I have been together for almost 11 years. At first it was very difficult because we both had serious attitude problems. But we really wanted to make our relationship work, so we made a conscious effort to be better people. We still aren't perfect. No one is. But I'm happy that we love each other enough to accept our shortcomings and strive to be better.

@Angel_15 I have almost never seen people changing for better and anyway when I married my husband (40 years ago), I married him because I loved him as he was. He did not change, he has always the same bad temper, but we are happy together.

I do think that the marriage will change people. At least they will become much more responsible. And they know how to give in because living together is not an easy thing.

marriage does change people . I know that because I know many people who are married and then separated. In my opinion, a signature does not change things . if two people love nothing can stop them but the love you feel for each other must be true . But when people do this step in your life need to know that everything is changing and should be ready for this decision !

of course, everything changes with marriages, there are more challenges there and the more of the real you is seen through by your other half. its never easy that's for sure, which is why there are conflicts and arguments.

I thought your question is whether marrying a person will change that person...yeah, marriage is a serious matter so it is important that before we commit to something like it, we have already considered all our options.

That is another side of the discussion but I believe that we cannot change the person and we must not.

It's what you can bring to the marriage not what you think that you can get out of it.

responsibilities increase, so do expectations from life. Pleasure and satisfaction level increases. People get confident, since there's someone to always stand by their side.. yeah.. such changes..

I have siblings who are married now. First and foremost in their minds and hearts now are their own families. Their own children and better halves are their number one priorities in life meanwhile aging parents are now excluded.
