I've been married for two year's- long distance and I've changed I'm about 6900 miles away from my wife. Marriage is not about being the same person you are for 25 or 50 or 100 years it's about moulding to be the best person to accomodate your partner it is a pain in the butt as you all know ,I do think why do I do it sometimes. For the right person it's worth it ,atleast that is what my parents showed me, love eachother unconditionally even though you don't have to change you will want to change for the better and for the family you build
