After marriage, it is often seen that the friend with whom you had once promised to stay with you for the rest of your life, starts moving away, it is important to understand why this happens.

1. New responsibilities and priorities

After marriage a person's responsibilities increase a lot. Life partner, family and future plans become priorities. Now the time and energy which was earlier spent with friends, starts being spent on new family and new responsibilities. People become so busy with their work, raising children and taking care of the house that it becomes difficult to find time for friends.

2. A new phase of life

After marriage, anyone's lifestyle and life goals change. He starts planning a new life with his spouse, in which the role of friends becomes limited. There is less conversation than before. After marriage, a person's focus becomes mostly on his family and future financial stability, hence he gets less time to spend with friends.

3. Prioritize new relationships

After marriage, a person often spends more time with his spouse and his family. While trying to start new relationships and strengthen them, old relationships with friends slow down. It takes time to develop mutual understanding with the spouse and to bring balance in new family relationships, which becomes another reason for distance from friends.

4. Social pressure and expectations

In society, married people are expected to change their priorities and live a responsible life. After marriage, many people do not meet many friends due to social pressure. Many times even one's own parents and in-laws advise one to stay away from friends.

5. Changing perspective of friendship

After marriage the perspective of friendship also changes. Many times there is a lot of difference between the lives of a married person and his unmarried friends. The needs, priorities and life experiences of both become different, which can lead to lack of mutual interaction. Despite this, true friendship is beyond time and circumstances of life. If a friendship is strong, it remains intact despite these changes.
