  1. Well not at all because I always aim to be in one, if I’m in a relationship, so I never acted any differently.

  2. She made me realize what it is that TRULY makes a guy a man.

    – Being honest, open, and kind.

    – Being someone people want to be around not because of what you have, but what you have to offer as a person.

    – Having a strong and steady masculinity that comes from self confidence and love rather than from bravado and show

    – On a more personal level, my wife is a Psychologist, and has completely changed and humbled me on my opinion and misunderstanding of mental health conditions and the people who suffer with them and triumph over them.

  4. If I had been single since my relationship began, I think I’d be a much more miserable person, anxious and unfulfilled even if I instead focused on my career or hobbies. With my relationship, I’ve gained a lot of understanding about the different lifestyle my partner comes from, and the hardships faced by many others, and I feel that I have done something worth living for.

  5. Learning the difference between admitting that you’re wrong for the sake of ending an argument and admitting when you’re wrong when you are wrong, and standing up for yourself when you’re not wrong in a productive and kind way. The difference between my 2 marriages in a nutshell.
