First-hand experience of reality
We all fantasize about marriage or relationships. We always think about what married life would be like and how we cope with that life. Moreover, a relationship and being married both are far different things. Everyone has their own demands or conceptions, but not everyone knows whether they are the right ones for them. Or they have just taken them on after being influenced by someone.
