There's much to be said about brides-to-be and what they can expect during their pre-wedding adventure, but nobody ever seems to speak out and talk about what it's really like once the couple says "I do" and returns back home from their honeymoon.
Does marriage shake up a relationship? Does it make things easier or does it make things feel stale? Does it make you realize that maybe you rushed into this whole thing too soon or maybe that you made some pretty annoying mistakes, like blowing your savings account on a giant wedding or registering for a popcorn machine.
This article is from 2016, but it's still relevant in 2023.
Interesting input from the 27-to-30 crowd. It reads like a lot of them were not ready to get married. Blowing your entire combined credit limits on a huge wedding? Feeling like your relationship is now like a stale cracker? These poor kids! Honestly, I wish someone had told them to use their brains a bit before focusing on "getting a husband." What other interests did they have during their early-to-mid 20s, if any? No wonder they're bored now. (I also wish I could talk to that woman who decided on her life partner in the days before online dating and is now wondering what she missed. NOTHING, GIRL, you're missing nothing.)
Nothing changes
Everything changes
You don't have much to look forward to
Everyone asks you about kids
You never use what you register for
You regret not buying a house
You let yourself go
People write you off as boring
You wish you were still single
