What married men say to know before getting married

Married men share two things unmarried men should know: toilet paper use and why a wedding will not fix relationship problems.

One everyday difference

Married men were asked what one thing unmarried men should know before getting married. One answer was that women use exponentially more toilet paper than you.

That is the everyday detail in the advice. It comes first, before the conversation turns to what marriage can and cannot change in a relationship.

Problems a wedding will not fix

The next point is that getting married won't fix anything. If your relationship was rocky or had unresolved issues before, getting married will just make things more complicated.

A wedding can add complications to problems already there. That warning is about the issues that exist before marriage: the wedding does not make them go away. The advice is to keep those existing problems in mind before getting married, rather than treating the wedding as a way to fix them.
