because they have to think about the two of them instead of jsut themselves. when you get married, your decisions aren't just based on you anymore; they are also based on what is good for the both of you.

It's not that your friends have "changed", but that their priorities have changed. Once married, the priority is on their new life partner, making a home and life together. With that priority shift comes the need to form new friendships with other marrieds who can relate to the unique challenges of marriage. Some people are able to balance single friends and married friends; some are not. Plus where you may have shared common interests, some activities that are acceptable as a "single" are no longer appropriate once married. Speaking in the traditional sense here. And, if your friend was having a challenge in their marriage for example, a single friend is not going to be able to relate whereas a married friend can. Same as if you were having dating challenges, you would find a single friend better able to relate than a married friend.

People tend to become comfortable with the whole marriage thing. The expectations change and with that comes the change in appearance, attitude, just to name a few.
To say that after marriage most girls change whould be an unfair statement. In fact both people change because both have reached a major milestone in their lives and with that also comes change. You can almost expect a guranteed change when a baby comes. It is all natural.
Priorities in a marriage become altered due to the obvious change. Committment to make a marriage work can lead to a few rough years working out the quirks and making sure that each of them are happy. Sometimes newlyweds can alienate friends and family because they consume themselves with committment to each other. Finding the balance between tending to your marriage and spending time with those you love will eventually smooth itself out, and people tend to find it is impossible at times to keep up...especially after having kids.
Just take it slow...if you have a friend who may not be there when you feel they should be. Try to understand their position, but also let them know how you are feeling. Things will work out in the end, and everyone will be happy.

Yes, to a degree it is a mind thing. The two of them have become ONE in theory, and they should be concerned with each others wants and dislikes regarding their relationship. They are looking at life differently for the long haul rather than just having the fun stuff happen and then go their different ways if it stops or don't work out.

Dating is like taking the car for a quick spin, Marriage is like taking it home. There is also a difference between dreaming of owning a home and actually buying one.
Think of marriage and marrying as a new purchase, or lease on life, if you will. When you haven't prepared for that new car or house you will definitely feel the strain in the back pocket.
The same goes for marrying the girl of your dreams. When the reality of the moment hits you, let's hope you land on your feet.

When marriage occurs there is more responsibility and the couples can't continue doing things they would normally do when dating. A person's life basically changes completely after marriage everything is then shared between you and another person.

(*laughter*) People change. That's normal whether they marry or not. Every life experience you have, changes you in some way. Marriage is, or should be, one of those moments that makes you say, "ahha..I'm an adult now and I have to do THIS". Having children is another one that will really get you, too.

Responsibilities change & attitudes change. The people you knew had to adapt to these changes.
