Women all want the same thing; to live happily ever after. We all look for that prince charming to come and sweep us off our feet, giving us the cute house with the white picket fence with 2.5 kids and a dog.
The reality of marriage is a bit different from the dream. Marriage is far from a fairy tale but it is a fulfilling venture which one should not miss out on.
The road you travel down when you are married can be smooth at times as well as rocky. Let's face it; there is no marriage that doesn't have its share of bumps to over come.
It helps a great deal to know exactly what to expect when you get married so you do not go into your new life with false hopes. Trying to live up to the image you created in your head of what marriage should be can ruin the marriage in the long run.
Women tend to think that once they find their soul mate, their lives will just be happy and full of love everyday. What we do not realize is that no matter how great Mr. Wonderful is, he will not be able to make us happy every single second of every single day throughout our entire life.
Everyone that gets married, at some point in the marriage, thinks "Is this it?" That doesn't mean that you love each other any less is just means that you are having perfectly normal feeling like everyone else.
Both women and men don't realize that when they get married they are tested on a daily basis.
It can be a challenge to spend each day with the same person doing the same things everyday, but in the long run you will find that it is very comforting to come home to the same person each day and to have the security knowing that you are with that one person who makes you feel complete.
It really does get old just dating people and going home alone. Sure you may have the occasional overnight guest but in the end that isn't going to satisfy your needs.
Marriage is truly a full time job and you will work harder at it then anything else in your life. It takes two to make it right and you need to be sure that you both are working to get to know each other and what makes each other tick.
Be sure to take time to spend with each other as well as keep time for yourself. Both you and your man are complicated creatures and it will take a lifetime to learn all there is about each other. Don't let people scare you into believing that marriage was the wrong thing to do.
Nothing will compare with sharing your life with your soul mate. You will be there for each other through thick and thin and hopefully raise a family of your own before you grow old together.
