Marriage completely changes your personality — and it takes less than 2 years:

Researchers studied 169 newlywed heterosexual couples for 18 months to detect trends in their personality change after marriage.

Researchers observed five personality changes among married couples: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism.

Commitment to marriage has a positive effect on the wives’ emotional stability. Research showed that wives became less anxious, depressed, and angry after marriage.

On the other hand, husbands become more conscientious, which means they become more dependable and responsible in marriage. In the study, both partners were found to be less open as time went on. This change reflects their acceptance of the routines of marriage.

The study showed that couples generally become less extroverted and restrict their social circle once they are married. While female-identifying partners are more agreeable in the start, researchers noted both partners become less patient and more disagreeable with each other as time passes.

One explanation for this is that once the courtship period is over, old habits can come back. These changes were unaffected by age and relationship length before marriage.

Cohabitation before marriage, initial marital satisfaction, or parenthood status also did not affect the changes in these 5 traits of a couple’s personality. This suggests that, to some degree, these changes are universal and unavoidable.

Psychologists believe that self-control and forgiveness are two important marital skills required for a successful marriage.

Note To Self
Both guavas are hanging together on the same branch of the same tree. One of them is already ripe, while the other may need more time to ripen. Nature conveys an important lesson through these guavas.

When we observe others around us achieving success while we have not, it does not mean we are unsuccessful. It simply indicates that the right time for us has not yet arrived.

Therefore, we must hold on, be patient, and not give in to frustration. We might only be a few days away from reaching our own ripened state.

Remember, our time will come as well, but it requires patience and perseverance.

30 is the new 20.

"Magte-trenta ka na wala ka pa asawa"
"Dapat sa ganitong edad may anak ka na"
"Di na kayo bumabata magpamilya na kayo"

Pansin niyo? Karamihan sa mga magulang natin nagsipag-asawa nung mga nasa early 20's sila at normally nag-aanak na after marriage, because for them it was the right age and it was the right pace. Kaya ibang parents at relatives natin pine-pressure tayo kase 'yun kinalakhan nila na norm.

Iba na panahon ngayon, mas practical. Karamihan sa atin gusto muna mag-ipon bago mag-asawa o bago mag-anak, kase gusto natin financially stable tayo before bringing a child into the world, some even decided to be child-free. Yung iba naman kahit financially stable na, may personal goals sila na nai-set before settling down, yung iba gusto magtravel muna, yung iba gusto muna siguraduhin na mentally ready sila, yung iba may bucket list muna gusto matapos at kung anong iba't ibang rason pa.

Most of our parents may have figured out life in their 20's but their 20's was different from ours. Their pace is different from our pace. For most of us, their 20's is our 30's.

Ugaliing mag ipon ng pera. 💯

Laging magtatabi ng para sa mga emergency ng pamilya.

Napakahirap mangutang at mas lalong masakit kapag natanggihan. Magkaiba din ang pinagdamutan sa wala talagang sobrang pera para ipahiram.

Bawat isa ay may pangangallangan, wag nyong itatak sa utak nyo na porket tingin nyo may pera ang isang tao eh kapag lumapit kayo pahihiramin kayo kaagad.

Lahat tayo may kanya kanyang needs at yung iba naglipit lang para kapag sila nangallangan may madudukot sila dahil naranasan narin nila na walang malapitan nung sila ang nangangailangan.
