Has your relationship changed at all since you've been married?

Just asking, because everyone asks 'How's married life??' excessively! and to us it hasn't been any different - we lived together before too.

Re: Has your relationship changed at all since you've been married?

It's totally different for us.

Each morning I wake up next to my best friend that I never get sick of (well not lately since he is away... I'm waking up next to my dog), the past 600 something days we have been married have been filled with learning new things about each other, just simple small things and little quirks that we love, and other ones that we dislike but at the same time since we are apart right now we would basically give up anything to even have the bad quirks around.
I have a constant cheering section in my husband and he knows it works vice versa and yes we had that when we weren't married but since the wedding mass we now feel like we are totally a team and it is up to us to make it work because noone else will. Faith wise we have grown because since our mass we really feel like it isn't just him and I, but us and the holy spirit looking out for us.
We now own a new home together which is another new and exciting experience.

For us married life is just filled with all new experiences and it is also very fresh to both of us. Neither of us never expected to be married at 23 and now at 25 we both couldn't imagine it any other way.

I love being married to my husband it brought us even closer then we both could have imagined.

Also since we are legally and religiously binded we both are very strong about making sure we are a happy and healthy couple. When were dating there was always that what if.... That 'what if'doesn't exist for us anymore... we both come from happily married parents mine 31 years and his 26 so we are in this for the long haul.


Also other differences are that I lived on LI my entire life. Since our wedding we lived in PA, Florida, Texas and now FL again moving has definetly been a new experience!

Re: Has your relationship changed at all since you've been married?

We lived together about 4 years before getting married...so not much has changed!
But it is such a great feeling to now be referred to as wife, etc.!

Re: Has your relationship changed at all since you've been married?

we didn't live together for that long before we got married (two weeks)
but oddly, we're very comfortable together and it really hasn't been that difficult to adjst to it.
I was scared that it would be difficult because before we lived together we only saw each other on weekends really for our entire relationship...we lived close to 45 minutes away from each other, and i was in grad school for part of it - it was tough to get together.
so i thought it would be tough to live together and i was afraid we would get sick of each other....but honestly, it feels SO NATURAL!!! to live together. It's scary how right it feels!!!
So when people ask me 'So how's it feel to be married?' (and belive me i get asked that AT LEAST once a week), i just say it feels the same!

Re: Has your relationship changed at all since you've been married?

Our relationship definitely changed after we got married - we became even closer. I never really realized it until I was just thinking about how to answer this question.

We never lived together beforehand, so we had to learn to live with another person, sleep in the same bed, and always call if we were going to be later than expected.

But I agree, I have a constant cheering section, and he has one in me. I know he's there looking out for me, and I know that he appreciates all the little things that I do for him like replace his bar of soap when I see it's low in the shower.

We still get asked How's married life - and we're married almost 2 years - so you've got a while to go yet!

Re: Has your relationship changed at all since you've been married?

I've gotten the same comments time and time again, and while I've lived with DH in his parents house, we were not in the same room together until we got married.

I'd have to say a resounding 'YES!' our relationship has changed SO much merely because of the 'being married' part. All the hopes, dreams, and wants we talked about all the time now seem to have a solidification of sorts...like now they are really going to happen. I feel so safe now. I love going home to him, I love making lunch for him, giving him a kiss in the morning while he's still sleeping. I love knowing that no matter what, we're always there for each other and I can count on him.

I also love the fact that he's mushier than ever since we got married!!!

Re: Has your relationship changed at all since you've been married?

I think our relationship has changed a little. We are definitely closer now after being married. We are always together doing things and love spending alot of time together. We lived together before our wedding for 3 years so living stuff isn't different. I just think one we got married, I have a feeling of security and happiness that I now have someone to share my whole life with.

Re: Has your relationship changed at all since you've been married?

Definitely! We never lived together before so it is so different. So much better then I hoped. He amazes me each day and we have so much fun together. I couldn't ask for more!

Re: Has your relationship changed at all since you've been married?

Nope - not at all different. (and that is a good thing!)

Same for us. Although, we have only been married a few days. We actually have been trying to figure out what would change. We haven't come up with anything yet.

Re: Has your relationship changed at all since you've been married?

nothing has changes since we were married, but we lived together for 2 1/2 years before we were even engaged - so that was our adjustment time

Re: Has your relationship changed at all since you've been married?

Things have changed in the sense that they are back to normal!!! For the first two years of our relationship things were WONDERFUL, life was great, but as soon as we booked our hall and actively began making wedding plans..I started freaking out, the few months before our wedding were terrible..I was a rotten stressed out B%$%^$ and we fought, now that we are married and Im not a lunatic for everything to be so perfect, we are back to normal and life is wonderful again, and I feel very blessed!

Re: Has your relationship changed at all since you've been married?

We lived together for years before, and although not much has changed, I feel different.
I love being married!

Re: Has your relationship changed at all since you've been married?

I never thought it would change, but it has.....
we were friends since he was in junior high school, and dated for 5 year & sort of lived together (casually, nothing formal... he just started bringing hsi cr@p to my apartment one day ) since 2 months after we started dating.

He is sooooo super-mushy now & very helpful around the house. Of course we have only been married for 5 months, so I wonder how long that will last

Re: Has your relationship changed at all since you've been married?

It hasn't changed at all- we're just living together now. Still having a great tine being together!

Re: Has your relationship changed at all since you've been married?

DH and I did not live with each other prior to getting married (we bought ahosue the month before our wedding).

Things were a little difficult at first. I wasn't used to him always being around all the time and we had a few fights (over things I can't even remember now).

Things smoothed out and we're doing really well now. We also had the stress of owning our first home and getting used to paying bills and stuff like that.

Again, as time went on, things got better. A month from today is our 1st anniversary. I can't believe how fast it went.

I bought DH a home theatre system for our 1st anniversary. I already hooked up (couldn't wait). We love it.

Re: Has your relationship changed at all since you've been married?

Yup! It's different.
We only lived together for a short time before we got married. There was definitely an adjustment period. The difference b/t us is, I've lived on my own since I was 18... and DH lived at home until he moved in with me
I think a part of him thought I was going to be just like his mother..... and I didn't sign up to be his Mom! Now, he's better at cleaning up than me

I've learned that a marriage, or any relationship for that matter, is a growing living thing.. it needs full time attention & nurturing.

I wouldn't change a thing, we're learning so much about ourselves, and each other, it's wonderful!

Re: Has your relationship changed at all since you've been married?

not too much for us - usually when people ask i just say its not too different b/c dh and i have always had a wodnerfully supportive relationship beforehand - we always considered everything ours,not his or hers, etc.....but i also understnad and agree with the others who stated how its differnet now too!

Re: Has your relationship changed at all since you've been married?

thinga arent really different. we lived together before that. it does feel a little different, calling him my husband.
