...did things change after you got married? If so, how? FH and I have lived together for almost 4 years now, and it's hard to think that things will be much different.
We lived together for 4 years and things definitely changed for us. It's hard to put into words but we immediately fell deeper in love, there was a real connection that was palpable that wasn't there before...we were a family now. Instantly. Being married meant we were going to be together forever so arguing and fighting pretty much went away. The first month was pure bliss. Of course, we're human, so after a while you do have disagreements but being married made us argue and communicate better - I held my tongue a lot and thought before I spoke (I'm a hothead) because I know that being upset will be counter productive since we eventually have to make up. It's a milion times better than just living together and being engaged...you feel safe, protected and for us more in love...I didn't think that was possible. I hope I made sense.

Um, let me tell you. NOTHING has changed. That's first question everyone asks us, and to be quite honest, I knew things would be the same, but everyone kept telling me they'd be different. So no, nothing's changed.

Makes perfect sense! I just can't imagine being MORE in love. But I know what you mean. We lived together for 2 years before we got engaged, and once we got engaged, there was sooo much more love. I guess it will be even more after we are married.![]()
Nothing changed for us. If anything I think we just feel more settled.

Things are much better but not different, if that makes sense. We no longer have the stresses of wedding planning, which did cause quite a few 'disagreements'-haha. I think we feel more secure and we're both more attentive. For us, becoming family has made it more important to treat each other right and to try to not get into petty arguements.
