Lifestyle changes to expect when you tie the knot
Here are lifestyle and behavioural changes to expect once a you and boo become husband and wife.
To be married to a wonderful husband or a great wife is a goal for many people. But what you may not realise is that your old life as a single guy will not seamlessly roll into your new life as a married person.
You may know already, and it is possible that you donot; but here are three ways your lifestyle changes when you tie the knot:
- More reserved, less extroverted
When people become married, they tend to become less outgoing and somehow become the type to stay more at home.
A recent German study, in which researchers looked at personality changes among nearly 15,000 people over a period of four years shows this.
Jule Specht at the University of Münster and her colleagues found that wedded participants showed decreases in the traits of extroversion and openness to experience as compared with the others who were yet unmarried and ‘free’ to do as they please.

For the benefit of the longevity of the marriage, this trait of restraint, alongside forgiveness, is one of the things required of married folks.
The dutch researchers recruited 199 newlywed couples and, within three months of their wedding, measured how forgiving each partner was, discovering that the newly-weds exhibited increase in forgiveness and self-control over the course of the study.
- More responsibility
The threshold for commitment to your partner and being responsible for them increases once you become married to them.
Dating and courtship would have slightly prepared you for this, but never will it be heavily on you as it will be after you have tied the knot and you and your partner’s lives become merged into one.
