What will my life be like once I'm married?

What woman hasn't asked herself this question? Will my life change? If so, in what ways? Will my relationship with my partner be different? Will I feel trapped? These are all questions only you can answer ... It's frustrating, but it's the plain truth! No two couples approach married life in the same way. Some go on a honeymoon, others don't. Some decide to buy a house and have a child, while others plan a trip around the world! The most important thing is to be at peace with yourself, your desires, and those of your spouse . That's certainly the view of Martine, one of our readers, who tells us that her marriage and life as a newlywed are truly enchanting. With this second marriage, she feels like she's been given a second chance! Of course, there are ups and downs! Arguments between partners about housework, children, in-laws... The causes are numerous! But don't worry, everyone has arguments ! The most important thing is to remember to communicate in order to find common ground . Being married means uniting your life with someone else's. It means making compromises, but also always having someone to rely on. A rock, a guiding light, someone who loves you and will always lift you up, pushing you to be the best version of yourself. So... enjoy it and be happy!

All the latest news about weddings

In addition to our readers' testimonials and advice articles, we love bringing you the best wedding news. And there's plenty of it! We remember, for example, the bride who used an Ikea bag to prop up her wedding dress while she went to the bathroom. The photos went viral, and we can see why! In a different, slightly less funny vein, the case of a man who wanted a divorce after seeing his wife's buttocks also caused a buzz (and the anger of internet users). We are also interested in shows that revolve around marriage such as "La robe de ma vie" presented by Cristina Cordula or "Mariés au premier regard" which has been a hit for two years. We also mustn't forget to tell you about the weddings of famous people. Love is everywhere, and we love celebrating it at The Body Optimist !
