Even though the planning may seem exhausting, you're probably still counting down the days until you exchange your vows.
But, what happens after the wedding? Does your relationship go back to pre-engaged habits or does something new appear in your lives?
Unfortunately, the marriages you see in romantic comedies don't really show you the truth. Marriage is work, and if you plan on staying true ''til death do us part," you and your partner may have to find a way to co-exist without driving each other up the wall.
So, why do relationships change after couples say "I do"?
Whether you've lived with your partner while you were engaged or not, you still need to get used to mixing your habits with his or hers. If you're used to doing something a certain way, it may not be the way your partner gets things done. You both need to be able to find a way to live in the same space while adapting to one another.
