Read More »Marriage marks a whole new chapter in your life—and apart from welcoming a child into the world, it’s likely your biggest transitional period. A lot of things change when you get married, like perhaps your last name, your commitment to each other, your priorities, how you handle finances and perhaps even your residence. Most of us are prepared for some of these changes, but one area of change that few of us are ready for—or even aware of—is friendships changing after marriage. Of course, friends don’t become less important after we say “I do,” but how often we see them and talk to them naturally wanes once we’re married, according to experts. And this is a healthy thing! “As we develop, our priorities shift, our friendships tend to accommodate our new selves, over time, and we also start searching for friendships that will meet out changing needs,” explains Ili Rivera Walter, Ph.D., licensed marriage and family therapist, and professor of marriage and family therapy. “Long-time friendships have likely developed resilience in order to stand the tests of time and change—and marriage is no exception.” Whether you’re thinking about marriage for the future or are a couple months or years into yours, here are some ways to anticipate that your friendships change after marriage.

Once you’re married, you’re spending almost every waking (and non-working) second with your spouse. “Because partners are typically now the main priority, maintaining friendships requires intention,” says Walter. “This means scheduling time together in advance, communicating your commitment as well as your time limitations to important friends, as well as discussing with your partner, your intended strategies for maintaining significant friendships.”
