Love is blind but marriage is an eye opener

Does marriage change people? What happens when the once sweet girlfriend turns into a controlling wife a few weeks after tying the knot?
True love leads to marriage but two things are bound to happen afterwards, you either enjoy your spouse after tying the knot or embark on an adventurous journey where there is no more pretence and no more hiding under layers of make-up. Marriage is a stage where all curtains go up.
A lot of things can be ignored when you are just dating and yet, they become a serious matter for a married couple. Do not expect to behave the same way you were before you walked down the aisle and dropped your maiden name for his. As a single lady, you would not mind spending a lazy weekend eating popcorns and watching numerous Mexican soaps, substituting dinner for rolex or kikomando.
Jane never complained about Mark’s nightlife. He could hangout with his friends all night and she never got in his way because she never lived with him. But now that she does; and cannot stand staying in the house all alone, worrying about when the football match will be over so that her husband can return home. Mark loved his nightlife. He never wanted to trade it for any girl but when Mary seemed not to fuss like other girls do, Mark decided to marry her.
A few weeks into their marriage, Mark resumed his night programmes. Jane tried to play it cool until the house started to feel empty. She thought she could do it like before but it was different. She had to lie down every night half awake, waiting for her husband and it was so stressing.
When she shared her pain with Mark, she was taken through a ‘why do women change after the wedding?’ lecture. So she also decided to ignore him and drift back into her old life of partying and drinking her self-silly. Mark got concerned and involved her family. When they scorned her for being a lazy wife who doesn’t run her home perfectly, she threw a few tantrums and threatened to quit her marriage.
When you trade your independence for a ring, get ready to embrace all the changes that come with it. You can keep a blind eye to anything during courtship but when you finally tie the knot, your eyes will open wide to reality. Whether you like it or not.
