Yes. It gets better. But sometimes you have to choose to make it better. You decide from the beginning that you are in this for the long haul. There are times you wish you were anywhere but here. But that is the same in any relationship. You don't get married and assume all will take care of itself. You have to work at being thoughtful of someone besides yourself. You both have to give in sometimes and shrug off things that don't really matter in the big picture. After we had been married a few years I got brave enough to ask my husband what one pet peeve he had about me that he would really like me to stop doing. Then I told him mine. We both tried to stop doing it. Worked for a while.
And now it doesn't really matter. I love him. And he loves me. Only when we are in a bad mood does stuff really bother us and the other one knows that. So its OK. A hug fixes a lot for us. Or just some space to allow us to be in a bad mood a little.

Yes, love grows and matures. You may have experienced a "honeymoon phase" when you first married. Going at it like rabbits, everything around your home in harmony.
Then reality sets in, and the test of your character begins. Before marriage you did what you wanted to, when you wanted to do it w/o any consideration for another persons needs/feelings. As time goes on, circumstances change whether brought on by financial problems/differences, children, how you relate to/with your in laws and how she does. Most of us don't marry someone just like ourselves, in fact statistics prove, for example, that one of you may be a spender and one a saver. Those differences don't seem so glaring when you live separately, but faced with them daily changes the way you feel and react to your spouse. There was an email going around awhile ago about some billboards from God...one was about marriage and this is what it said: Nice wedding, now will you invite me to the marriage?
Marriage isn't easy, nor is commitment. The rewards though, are incredible.

Yes love should change after marriage it should get better and better over time. Sad thing is that usually people get selfish and choose not to love any more so it fades and goes away and does not last. It is people who change during marriage not love. Love is a choice and we either choose to love or not or to stay in love or not. It is us who changes the love not that love that changes.

Love doesn't change, but behavior does. Before marriage and after marriage are very different.

Yes love does change, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. We adults "grow apart" in our marriages because we choose to. We stop working at it. Remember when we did things when we were dating to try to impress our mates. We used cologne/perfumes, we dressed up, we used lots of body language, or the special eye contact and we always made ourselves available for the capture. Today's society gives up too easily on relationships. We are lazy creatures of habit.
