"  Of course he&amp;#039;s worth it, but...let&amp;#039;s just say, life is different after tying the knot. We asked real women what they sacrificed to be married to the loves of their lives. &amp;quot;I lost my 1 a.m. shopping sprees. I used to go to the 24-hour Walmart in the middle of the night.&amp;quot; \u2014 BARBARA MANCINO, 47, HENDERSON, NV &amp;quot;I lost sleep! My husband tosses and turns all night. Well, truthfully, I lost sleep for a fun reason too, but I&amp;#039;m not complaining about that!&amp;quot; \u2014 B. BAKER, 29, SAN ANTONIO &amp;quot;My closet! He has three times the clothes I do.&amp;quot; \u2014 CHRISTY CAREY GREAGOR, 39, BANKS, OR &amp;quot;My skinny jeans. My husband&amp;#039;s cooking is too good!&amp;quot; \u2014 VAL BECK, 29, HOLBROOK, NY &amp;quot;I lost my dream of the perfect man. I married an imperfect one, and it&amp;#039;s a blessing! What I thought I wanted in a man was unrealistic. What I actually got was a friend and partner.&amp;quot;  \u2014 TULA SMITH, 63, GRANITE FALLS, NC I gave up smoking for my hubby \u2014 and, despite the occasional cravings, am happy to say that I&amp;#039;m smoke-free to this day! What about you, ladies? What did you give up for better or worse? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
