Do things really go down hill after marriage?

amy	It depends on if your relationship is strong enough. Some people get married way too early.

-------	Its only true for people who lack the vision to see the benefits of marriage and are too uncreative to keep things spicy

deemo1971@sbcglobal.net	as with anything in life, u have to work at marriage to make it last. People get so wrapped up in day to day life they forget about their needs and the needs of their partners. I have been married 7 and half years.... and i love him more everyday... but we have to remind each other of what we need. its a constant work in progress

Crystal A	no i have been married for about 3yrs and we have had our ups and downs but over all it has been the best time of my life

starlight	It all depends on the people themselves, to make things successful you need to work on it. Those who work to keep their marriage a happy one will have a better life after marriage but those who dont then obviously their marriage will go downhill.

gurugirl	I think the biggest reason people say this is because they have unrealistic expectations. Marriage can be awesome, but not all the time. Living with another person is hard because you each have different wants and needs...not to mention things that annoy you. If you anticipate this and commit to compromising, then you will enjoy marriage. If you get married so the other person will make you happy, forget about it.

kittyrogers	No and yes and no and yes. This is a complex question and far too complicated to explain in a couple of sentences.

evonne i	It will go down-hill if either or both people become complacent one the commitment has been made. Look at the relationship as you would a plant-it needs constant nurturing or it will eventually die.

sweetcincylove	No, all marriages don't go downhill. Mine didn't It depends on the people within the marriage and how they take care of their marriage. Just another excuse people use.

b.dorman	nope but they settle dwn...

MJS	I am afraid so my friend, that's the way it is.

dimkaluv	It's not always true. You just have to remember to spend time together even when your schedule is busy. It's all about making the time really. There are only so many hours in a day, but you have to know how to use them. Not all marriages fail.

IndyMM	the mean it get easyer that is it.

lona b	Yes if the 2 cannot work as a team to make a good and rewarding life together.

Bombenhagel	Uhh no ?

Marty K	You have to be committed and understand what it is about because there will be problems.

AsianPersuasion :)	I don't think so. I think a lot of married people start to take each other for granted. You cannot do that and expect to enjoy a relationship to the fullest. I have been happily married for 10 years now and it just keeps getting better!

I Know Nuttin	I've never been married, but I would guess that only happens if you marry the wrong person. Or maybe if you get married too early without asking the hard questions.

ideratherbefishin	Not for all of us...like anything else in life. It's what you want to make of it.

Lotus	Not if you marry the right person.

chunga12413	not true

lizzy tish	YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Danchondo	only if you let it go downhill

Art The Wise	I wouldn't say that. My life has been better eversince I got married. I guess it all comes down to is your attitude.

Angel	Yes, they get tired of one another.

p_l_gray	Nope, not true.... My life is better every day because of my wife. Been married 19 years.

SmartySlacks	i'm not married yet, but i'm hoping it justs gets better the more time you get to spend together, that's the way i see it anyways!

sweetiepi	not for me

lolitakali	Don't ever get married then... Men and Women are only supposed to live together... only marry if there is going to be a child involve and there is a want to start a family.
