Six Disadvantages Of Being Married

Loss of individuality This doesn’t mean that you completely lose your sense of self once you get married. However, you will have another person to take care of, and this may cause you to unconsciously put your own wants and needs on the back burner. There are also some stereotypes and social expectations that come along with marriage, such as assigned gender roles within the household. These are all things that may cause you to lose a bit of your individuality after getting married.

A way to make sure that you and your partner are both prioritizing your individuality is to establish healthy boundaries about things you want and don’t want in your relationship and marriage. For example, you might ask for shared responsibility when it comes to financial decisions, or equal division of household chores so it doesn’t all fall on one person. Another example would be establishing boundaries about setting aside time to pursue individual interests and hobbies.
