Think about one of the questions below for a moment.

If you are married, in what way is the girl you dated different from the woman you married? If you are single or dating, in what way do you want the woman you marry to be different from the girl you are dating? What thoughts come to your mind? I bet you have a few thoughts, I also do.

After being married for over 3 years to my awesome wife, l can testify that the girl l dated is different from the woman l proudly call my wife. She has definitely improved in ways I never imagined, and for the better.

If you go through dating and your marriage journey, you will inevitable look back to realize the girl you dated is different from the woman are married to. To clarify, l do not mean she would become a brand new person. What l mean is that her priorities and perspective about life and marriage will improve in many ways. Hopefully, for the better.

Either way, the woman you marry will not be the same as the girl you dated.

1. The girl you date does not want to meet your family or friends, she wants you all to herself.

2. The girl you date is overly worried about her nails been done all the time, her eyelashes looking in a certain style, and being beautiful for her peers. Her physical beauty is important to her.
The woman you marry is not overly worried about her nails being done. Instead, she is worried about being beautiful for her man, even if that means wearing no makeup. She focuses on her internal beauty and character building, because she knows real beauty comes from within.

3. The girl you date only cares about her career and her vision for life. She comes before the relationship, and does not make her future plans with you in mind.
The woman you marry cares about your career and your vision of life as well as her own. She knows you also have a plan, and works together with you to achieve the goals you both have. The marriage is her priority.

4. The girl you date loves the financial cushion you can provide. She also expects something back whenever she gives.

What are your thoughts on these differences between the girl you date and the woman you marry?

In a nutshell...I think most ladies growing up into a woman will do all of these things...d difference is simply d fact dat d lady u once dated grew up after marriage and Is much more matured....

Hokay

I know av grew to become a woman now

The girl I date is a chick, the woman I married is a chikito

hmm

Marriage and dating is not and can never be the same.

When dating some relationships are based on fantasy and thats why some relationships are not meant to last or lead to marriage but marriage is a different thing altogether. It opens both the man and the woman up for many challenges that draws them to life's realities. You can't expect a married woman that has seen so many things in marriage life both the difficult ones and the smooth ones to still behave like a girl that dates a man or two years back before getting married. Things change and people grow up. In dating and relationships both the male and the female are just a boy and a girl but marriage is for matured people I mean a woman not a girl and a man not a boy. They are now matured both physically, spiritually and otherwise. And the woman you married today was once a girl of yesterday and you a boy of yesterday all grown into full matured adult. A girl and a woman has a different meaning and different perspectives to life and so are the boys and the men.

true talk

Every decent girl now wants to test her man's dick b4 anything called marriage.

That is a similarity between a wife and girlfriend..

The girl you date is a GIRL.
The woman you marry is a GIRL who grew up.
