"If men treated their women as well after marriage, when they are wives, as they did before marriage, when they were girlfriends, they’d find they married their girlfriends."

I wish it was that simple. I have been successfully married for over 33 years, but after the ring went on, the rules changed.

My grandfather told me: Wives want their husband to change after the wedding, but the men never do. Husbands want their wives to remain the same after the wedding, but the women never do. He was right.

That sounds exactly how my marriage went.
