No, some of my friends who got married just disappeared from the scene. Their first priority becomes their family rather than old friends.

Friendships can't continue as they were before marriage. Any major life change, changes who we are. In most cases, if the other friend is single, the friends tend to drift apart as they have different life-styles. However, if the other friend was already married, the friendship may only have minor adjustments based on the time the the newly married friend now devotes to their family life.

Depends on how the person thinks about marrige, if it's a person that believes marrige = ownership then expect some big changes. If it's a women that want's to change her husband into a perfect man and never accepted him as he was before the marrige then, that's a real burner for a solid friendship. The hardest part for most, is while your dating you chose to be there, you always feel you have the option to not be there if you want, when you get married, you realize your stuck with that person. I would say initailly yes, in time; as both of you change, no sometimes, and yes others. Confusing yes?

My friendship with my husband improved after we got married and my other friendships stayed the same. I think people start disappearing when they have kids or the person they marry has major family committments like every holiday, bday, etc.
I had a friend I had to kind of stop talking to because she was so unavailable after she got married. Every bday, holiday, some weekends, vacations is spent with her inlaws.
I wanted to marry my husband because I liked how everything was...so I think if your friendships are suffering before you even get married then it's not going to work.

It seems like the work friendships are the only ones that stay the same. If you get married about the same time other friends get married, that helps the friendships stay the same, but if you get married and they are still single or vice versa, your lives and concerns are SO DIFFERENT that is it hard to keep spending time together, plus the married person now has different financial obligations.

If you are willing to put in the extra effort and time, then yes. It just takes comunication. My husband is still my best friend and my old friends are still my friends. You have to just decide on your priorities.
