A wise man once said, “The only constant is change”, and sadly for us, romance is included. History has proved time and time again that puppy love is not capable of surviving a marriage. Its future fate is not death, but more of paralysis.
Long gone are the days of hot, steamy and dirty talks, for you are left with nothing but house chores, kids and financial responsibilities. Arab men have been guilty as charged when it comes to post-marital transformations in the following relationship departments.
