That is a good question. I think some people(not all) do change after getting married, and I am not sure why that is. I heard that when people get married, they become "one", like 2 halves of a whole. Some may change because they feel that they should be different because they are no longer single. I think it could be for various reasons. I have also heard that people change when they divorce. Why is that? Personally, I think that whatever you are, you are. You are a certain way and marriage should not change you that much and maybe some of those people who have supposedly changed are being "phony" for lack of a better word. I have seen people get married and then act all "nicey nicey" and "loving" and then divorce and they go right back to the person that they really are. However, on a physiological, or scientific level, I have heard that when a man gets married, his testosterone levels actually decrease, and if he gets a divorce then the testosterone level will go back up, so it is definently a mysterious and difficult thing to explain why people change after getting married.

yes, they would have a family,they would become husband or wife , father or mother, they have to do many work they needn't to do before married,that means more responsibility for a family.

In any case, a person's life style changes after getting married. Also, they must adjust their behaviour and different other things to suit the partner and have a smooth sailing. You have your own way all the time, cos you have another person in your life who's sleeping and eating with you. So I think, it may not be a drastic change, but there should be some change after marriage in both parties.

Yes, man change a lot cuz he have to take responsibility of a woman, have to build a family, kids and engage for earnings and thinking for future. Woman also change that is she have to squeez friends circle, cannot often visit relatives family, cannot spent independently and cannot get petty cash from parents and husband's family to spend for hobby items, have to forgive some habit which grown during study i.e. buying chocolate from shop and eat when go out etc. like this many things have to forget after marriage !!

for me its not really changing.You only see the real attitude and real personality of the person you marry. So if you really love the person you marry, there's no way that can change your beautiful relationship.

It's important what you mean by change! After marriage I think they learn how to match with other people, they learn how to ignore and be kinder with life and themselves. When I got married after a while I learnt how to be patient and how to manage life better; I knew about myself more that I didn't know before!!!

I havent seen my husband changed all the way yet, he still loves to chill and hangout with his friends, sleeping very late playing video games to kill time - but I think it helps alot because we didnt notice we will be seeing each other again in January after being separated for almost 3 years YAY! However with the support and love, he got even better after his divorced.

I don't think people change. I just think they stop "faking" and start acting like their REAL selves. I think people put on fronts while they are dating to be what the other person likes instead of just being themselves so the other person can really get to know them.

Sometimes,ppl take each other for granted cuz they think "we're married now, what more can i do?" But it's to keep the relationship alive that is the hardest part.
