I think for many of us marriage either seems like a scary unknown concept or it is something we fantasize about, but we really have no idea how marriage. After we are dating someone, we get caught up with the physicality or the fun times we have in our relationship, but we do not necessarily understand that we will have to accommodate our life style to fit in with our spouse's previous life as well.
When people are first married, I have heard that's when most couples have the most fights, because they are getting used to actually living together, and they are not used to making decisions together. Things like money, sleeping arrangements, cleanliness, and many habits that each other have make it hard to get used too. However, I think most people are able to work out their differences and focus on the things that really matter.
I think most interesting thing I heard on the topic of marriage is that the more differences you have in life style, the more likely the marriage wont work out. So things like religion, culture, family structure, and socioeconomic status (just to name a few), are harder things to learn to except and adapt, so it is more likely the marriage will last if both spouses are similar in each of the big areas of lifestyle.
