Do men change after marriage?

Answer 1

The best advice that anyone ever gave me regarding marriage is to take a good long look at his mom and dad. He will likely be very much like his dad in the long run. Look carefully at his parent's marriage - that's how he learned. Is it acceptable to you how his folks relate to each other? Lastly, YOU GET WHAT YOU BOUGHT!!! People do not change much just because they get married. If he's a slob now, he'll be worse later. If he doesn't help now, he won't later either. You cannot change a man (or a woman either for that matter) by nagging or trying to "make them over". You either love them now, faults and all, or you will be miserable when you get him home.

Answer 2

It's not that people change after marriage, it's that they reveal more of themselves in this close relationship. Also, when we're dating, we have a different view of our loved ones. The same irritating habits we complain about in marriage, are the ones we thought were cute before. The same jealousy that drives a wedge between us in marriage is the jealousy that made us feel special during courtship.

Answer 3

Men and women both change. They're supposed to grow closer together, but unfortunatedly that doesn't always happen. It seems like when you're dating each other, the relationship is more intense. Then once you get married, some of that intensity goes away. It's not either of you really changing, it's more of both of you getting into a comfort zone.

Answer 4

Yes, all of us men change for the worse. It's like buying a car. At first, you enjoy the new car smell and the newness of it all. After a while, a new model drives by and that new car is not as exciting as it once was. Then you find yourself wanting that sexy new sportscar, but you are stuck with that boring family sedan. You get my drift?

Answer 5

Men marry women thinking that they will stay the same. Women marry men hoping that they will change. Don't try to change or steer him, don't use sex or intimacy as a tool. Just be yourself always, and judge him for what he does. If he doesn't measure up........move on.

Answer 6

All people change and grow, sometimes for the worse and sometimes for the better. Chances are that if you are satisfied that you married a quality person then you will happily spend your life with the same person with the same overall qualities.

Answer 7

yes...but if you catch it early enough, you can steer them back in the right direction.
Your Husband will not stop being the wonderful person he was before marriage. That is IF he was a wonderful person.
Do not overlook personality flaws...see if they are things you can live with. If you can't don't do it.

Answer 8

Yes. Just like women do. The cooking and cleaning and sex anytime the man wants it stops. And you wonder what happened to make us change.

Answer 9

I think women change. Men vary few

Answer 10

I think they get lazy as far as the romantic aspect of the relationship. Also, they get really lazy with housework (some, anyway), if they ever helped in the first place.
