I think we push each other to grow, honestly. I don't know that it's a matter of "change FOR your partner" necessarily but more like changing for yourself within the relationship.
Anyone changing themselves for the sole purpose of making other people happy is not going to be happy themselves if they do it too often.
We are who we are and we will mature into people we mature into, but not at the request of others. When it's time to change, we each figure that out on our own, and if you don't, then you won't be happy.

I have changed after I got married. We had kids right afterwards and it was very difficult to adapt to a new lifestyle. One minute I was having fun with my friends and the next I had a wife and kids and a house and all kinds of responsibilities.
