What do you / did you fear most about marriage

What happens after you live on the same roof for a while?
Will the person I marry still want to be with me when beauty fades?
Will the person I marry still want to be with me when I am poor?
Will the person I marry still want to be with me if I make mistakes?
Will the person I marry stick with me for the rest of my life?
or will there be something that I may say or do that would make them leave me?
Will they love me for who I am instead of my degree, income, and my beauty?

When I read the description of what some people are looking for in a person, sometimes it makes me not want to marry anymore. So I am afraid more of the person than the marriage itself. I have trust issues I think. These days some people are material based, I am afraid after marriage if I lose some part of what they were looking for will lead to divorce. All I want is someone I could smile with and laugh with but I guess its just not that easy. So for me when I see a person at the back of my head "How long will this last?". What word or action will make them leave me? I guess that is how life is, its like walking on thin ice. Its a matter of time of when the ice breaks. If I could remove the desire of wanting companionship I would. But we have to live with it and keep trying.
