Marriage turns two single individuals into a couple who vow to become "one" till death do them part. But do couples actually morph into "one" once they tie that proverbial knot? Does marriage mean blurring the line where one partner ends and the other begins?

This is explored in the ninth issue of Bliss, the weddings and homes magazine that is out with The Times tomorrow.

It emerges that there is no one relationship recipe. While some couples are happy to share everything, including the bathroom, others feel stronger by having independent moments from each other.

The issue also looks into the home transition after marriage. As newlyweds adjust into their new lives, it might take a while for them to think of their matrimonial house as home. While thrilled to be living a new independent life with their loved one, the couple often look back at their childhood home with a sense of nostalgia and miss the daily patterns unique to their personal family life.

The fashion section offers ideas on how to go about picking the right hairstyle for that special day and, as usual, this issue offers experts' advice on marriage-related issues ranging from home-making dilemmas to wedding-list etiquette.

Apart from the usual fashion tips and real wedding unveiled, Bliss also brings you the experience of newlyweds who spent their honeymoon in Australia and New Zealand.

This issue brings you a different form of adventure: the story of a young Irish couple who won a wedding in Malta after they dared enter a competition in their hometown.

Bliss is published by Content House Ltd and is printed by Progress Press.
