Do people just act when dating or courting? Why the abrupt change when they've tied the knot? Do we really live or show our real selves in a short relationship leading up to a lifelong one? How long should one know his/her partner to really know him/her enough?

For me, i really don't want you to be uncomfortable with knowing your partner, just be yourself play your part well. and for the other person just see her as she is for now, one thing i certain, i can't pretend to be good and perfect being for too long the early you become natural for my liking the better we live and pray for understanding in our relationship, don't be afraid of making mistakes, Dave
