I do understand women's frustrations weeks or months into a marriage, when disillusionment sets in. Their husband turns out to be a controlling manipulator. He changes from a loving, caring, wonderful person, to someone who thinks the marriage is for his convenience.
When I first married I was not conscious of trying to change my new wife into my ideal, though thats exactly what I was doing. It was selfish of me , but I have since changed my ways, and now enjoy a happy relationship with my wife.
if only a fraction of the time spent planning for the wedding day and honeymoon was devoted to creating a mutually agreeable relationship, with personal boundaries within the marriage, maybe there wouldn't be so many problems later.
Ray,
Thanks for the thoughtful comments. I completely agree that part of preparation for marriage should be education about relationships. I see that we are both providing as much of that education as we can. I intend to expand on your comment about unconsciously trying to change your wife in another post.
