Maybe it will; maybe it won't. I do not look at it as a change but as a way I feel to be with her until one of us passes and share a lifetime together. If I didn't feel she was the one I would not be marrying her or even have asked her. I don't find it as any kind of change but I find it as a wonderful path to take that will involve us instead of simply involving me alone. I couldn't ask for anyone else but her. She knows that; I know how she feels about me. No change except for the fact that we are committed to each other for life.
Well that certainly is the right attitude to take, I've been married 13 years, and I know, I got the better end of the deal...she could have done better. We have our moments, but it's been a great 13 years. I'm just saying that, you might find that, the things you did on a daily basis, with not a second thought, might need to be tweaked a little, because now she feels as though she has a say, in the things that normally wouldn't concern her. I'm sure she's a great girl, and it wasn't meant to imply she'll turn into a dictator, just that once you're a single unit, you have to be prepared for the little surprises, that catch you off guard. I lived with my wife for 2 years before we married, and now 13 years, and it still happens....because she's a woman, and that's the way it is.
Example : I bought an expensive motorcycle...no problem, and she does not like to ride...only been on a bike once, and I took it really easy on her.
I bought a fairly inexpensive pistol, nothing exotic or freaky...she went off. And I have others, and she never snapped about those, and she's not anti-gun.
Again, many happy years.
