Married Women, What Should Other Women Know Before They Get Married?

If you're married, you can probably look back at the lessons you've learned and the surprises you faced that you wish you knew even before you tied the knot.

So, married women: What do you wish you knew before you got married?

Maybe you wish you hadn't let certain family members and friends in on everything happening in your relationship — and you've seen how not having healthy boundaries impacts your marriage.

Perhaps you were surprised by how much you'd question your relationship — like whether you made the right decision in marrying your partner, even though you love them.

Maybe you didn't expect conflicts over everyday things like spending, and you wish you and your spouse had discussed certain expectations before marriage.

Or perhaps you were very nervous before getting married due to seeing marriages around you fall apart — but since you've been married, your relationship with your partner is better than ever, and you wish you hadn't been so fearful for so long.
