>Too many Americans have no concept of what marriage is. For some women it is the wedding, which is instilled within them from the time they can walk and talk. For men it is different. A man gets married and then on the first Monday of the week he goes to a sports bar with his buddies to watch Monday night football, and then poker of Friday. He forgets his wife so he can enjoy his premarital days.

Yes, you're right.
My life didn't change all that much when I got married. I still did 99.9% of the things I wanted to do.

But when you have kids, that's when the real life style changes come... at least that's been my experience so far.
