Does a woman have to change her eating, sleeping and overall life habits in a marriage?
I think that both partners should be able to bring things to the marriage and then form a new way of life.
Marriage is adjustment and compromise.
One person's wayh of life can not dominate the marriage orit is doomed to fail.

yes, marriage requires lots of adjustments, compromising and giving up of certains habits to make it work out fine. of course both husbands and wife should be putting in equal efforts to make the marriage work.
you basically can't measure the amount of sacrifices made as everyone is different, it depends on how the individual is or was before the marriage.

Both the man & the woman should consider their partner and make compromises. Both may have to make some changes to their eating, sleeping & overall life habits. That's not a bad thing.
The only time this is bad is when your partner wants to change you or if your partner refuses to compromise. You should BOTH talk about these things BEFORE you are married and work out your differences before you sign the marriage papers.

Changing who you are should never be a part of marriage. Changing where you deposit your dirty drawers can be. Lead, follow or get out of the way is a part of the compromising required in a marriage. Roles for different things can sometimes require a switch in a long time relationship and does not necessarily need to be damaging.

Bring new things in and form a life, but both peopel have to change previous habits. If you believe different, you feel soul-mates and all that hollywood crap are true; they're not. Marriage is about comprimise, but it's also about truth and the ability to be completely vunerable in a relationship and change/grow.

both have to change, and the change should overall be a natural change not a forced, if however their is good reason like he works nightshift one will need to bend more. from my life sleeping habits most defiantly change whether I wanted to or not I now can not sleep with out him.

Automatically discard or change the things that don't matter. Compromise the ones that do matter. Keep the beliefs that that you have.

You are right. You both should compromise. You are who you are because of what you do in life. He fell in love with you because of this. If shouldn't want you to change who he fell in love with.
