Everyone always keeps talking about what women must do before getting married- what they should learn to do, what they should understand, how they should enjoy, etc. (Read to know more here). But not much is written or said about men, who in fact are more worried about losing all their freedom! But guys, marriage is not the end of your life (as some of you fear). It is just the end of your bachelor life, and there are some things you definitely must do before stepping into the new phase of your life. Here are five things that we thought you should not miss, especially if you desire a long and happy married life.
