The biggest change I think is more spiritual than anything. We will then share the same name and be a family. I know it's cheesey but that is how I feel. The wedding and being married is a statement about our feelings and our relationship. I am SUCH a cornball!!

I agree with this 100% ...We have a 4 year old Daughter together, I feel like everything will be complete..Marriage was the only missing piece in our puzzle.

---

I agree, we have two children a 2yr old and a 3 month old.

Honestly, I dont think anything will change. We've been together for over 5 years, living together over 4.....It's like we are already married just without the paper. I think us getting married will just make it all official and I think we will just continue to grow together.
XOXOXO

I have been married for 17 days and although we lived together for 2 years before we got married, I definitely feel different. I do not know how to explain it except to say that it feels more 'real' now. I hope that makes sense. We also have consolidated our finances into one bank account which we did not have before marriage. HTH

I agree. It's hard to describe, but we're both happier and feel more settled/secure. It feels more like we're a family. It's definitely better.

---

I agree. We lived together for 4 years before we got married so I didn't expect that anything would feel different but there was jut the slightest change in the way I felt. It's so hard to describe but you know it when you feel it.

That is not the least bit corny, we feel the same way. We already own a home together and have lived together for almost 4 years, but being married is an incredible committment and its being a family, i couldnt agree with you more

EXACTLY. FMIL said the other day 'I guess not much will change after the wedding' I was like, nope not really. It's about being able to say that you've committed your life to the other and of course, not pretending that we don't, um, well, you know....get naked.

---

Wait - we are supposed to get NAKED after we get married?

Please tell me not in the same room!!!!

---

ok, i think we need to have a talk ladies, please get your permission slips signed by your moms and then read the following:

when 2 people love each other and really care about one another......

---

Mom wouldn't sign the slip...

She said that I'm too young to find out where babies come from....

I'm sure your husband will teach you without the permission slip!!!

Wow.... The answer things will not change appeared alot more then I expected. In a magazine a few months back there was na article about why marriages fail in early stages and one of the top reasons was because 'women expect things to change' once they are married.
It's good to see they were wrong and it's not our fault!!

I'll tell you anyway.......the cabbage patch.

I have been with FH for 12.5 Years and we have lived together for 5.5. I think we know all eachothers quirks by now. The biggest change will be sharing a last name and now I can FINALLY start a family!!!!!
