Marriage Makes Many Things

This phrase has been said numerous times but i never did understand nor accept that Marriage changes a mans lifestyle.

Now i can confidently say it does. I can confirm this from my very minimal experience so far.

How do i confirm this , what better way than take myself as an example.

Prior to my engagement my world was reading books, watching TV specially F1, cooking & of course not to forget the small but the most important activity of all , working !

Ever since engagement , reading has gone through the window, i have struggled to keep pace with reading. I have been pushing myself to complete a book over the last two months.

Apart from reading , F1 has taken back stage , i haven not seen last four races , something that would have been unheard of in the last seven years.  This was all due to lead-up to the big day.

Two of the most important things that i did normally as a bachelor took back stage , so some other things should have taken centre stage.

Yes , there were a few that took centre stage,  i'll try to summarize these .

First of all, i gave lot of importance to becoming lean and fit, not sure why but may be subconsciously i might have been thinking to look and feel good on the big day. I slogged myself in the gym and was pushing myself to be on strict diet, it was no surprise that i refrained from fried and junk foods for more than 3 months and in the process lost a whopping 8.5 Kgs.

With weight taking one part of importance , the other one was managing my finances , notwithstanding my usual thought process of being careful in what i spend, i became even more careful and started planning things in the process. this did benefit me a lot as come closer to the big day i had next to no financial issues, something am very proud of.

So , looking good, being more responsible becoming a part of daily life one more key ingredient became a part of my daily thought process.

Surprisingly and something that is not synonymous to me had happened , i started smiling a lot and becoming more and more romantic.

My daily thoughts were along the lines of  how can i keep my better half happy and which ideas would impress her. Ideas came in a flurry and i did many things which surprised me and for which i never knew i had the guts nor the talent.

As the big day came closer and closer i started understanding what my better half likes and dislikes. One of the most important aspects was cleanliness , i slogged myself to keep my apartment spot on , neat and tidy.

Having said all that and now that the big day has come and gone , i look back and can affirm that marriage has definitely changed me!

Has it changed me for the better , maybe not because i looked at my life differently during phase 1 of my life & now my life is different , I've changed just because my priorities have changed.

So far so good, will i sustain this, only time will tell.

Note:- Sorry that i hadn't blogged for long ,  i will try and be back to normal asap.
