Reason number 3 why people fear marriage is the thought that your partner might change.
I heard the phrase that “you never know someone until you start living with them,” and it scared the hell out of me.
This created negative thoughts such as maybe he’ll mistreat me, disrespect me, or do other bad things to me.
But I’ve turned those thoughts around by applying “everything is a risk” – mind you, I’m not asking you to do that and use it to someone you just met overnight. But if you’ve been with someone for a while, you know them, and they respect you, don’t let fear stop you from pursuing something concrete with them.
