Relationship Changes After Marriage?

View Quoted Comment Oh wow, that's awesome that you two have been together for so long! Cheers to many more years together ahead!

View Quoted Comment I feel you on this sooo much! We were long distance for a year and a half (previously lived together in college and did well) but that post wedding, living together, and working “real” jobs threw us for a loop. In that time away from each other we developed different habits on awake hours (due to work), laundry, cooking, cleaning.. only part I can say we were always solid on was finances. LOL was definitely a time of relearning habits and working together to compromise on some things

Me too because its work with alot of trails and errors and speaking from experience. Because we have seen alot dark times and sunny skies but you have keep working at it. And lots lots of prayers but has changed to definitely understand that our roles in life and to each other are different. No longer girlfriend, boyfriend or fiancee and fiance we are now Husbands Wives in every aspect of the word. Responsibilities to for one another and you both are one. But keep praying and keep God first

View Quoted Comment For sure!! I think sometimes, we forget that marriage will have its dark days in addition to the sunny days, especially since marriage is referred to as our Happily Ever After. But as long as both people are committed to getting through the dark times together as a team, the marriage is very likely to be successful and happy.

View Quoted Comment I so agree with you

In my opinion, they do!

But then again, people change with age, and there's little argument to be made there IMO. For example, my hubby and I had little interest in growing a business together in the past. However, recently we got interested in dropshipping and got surprisingly hyped about the prospect of being our own bosses

We have a long way to go, but our marriage gives us strength and working on a mutual goal like this brings us even closer. So, though is not something either of us foresaw, it's amazing how this idea managed to bring so much excitement into our lives

Really the only thing that changed was that we got to call each other husband and wife! My husband and I have been together over 10 years now, and we are still huge goofballs around each other, still laugh loudly at dumb jokes, still have dates, still have serious conversations. The literal only thing that changed after we got married was the paperwork.
I never understood the question "how does it feel to be married?" Because, well, it's just like a birthday. A life event that happens all the time. And to be perfectly honest, I feel like that's how it should be? If things in your relationship are DRASTICALLY different after marriage, that's concerning to me.

View Quoted Comment That's awesome that you're using the strength of your marriage to help you both work towards your dream! I can totally see how owning your own business would help bring you both closer together in your relationship!

View Quoted Comment I agree with you that if the relationship drastically feels different after the paperwork is complete, that something may not be quite right. I think it's completely normal for the relationship to feel "different" as in stronger, and the added excitement of making it official, wearing wedding rings, and getting used to calling each other new titles, but it shouldn't feel like a totally different relationship. I like your comparison of how it would feel on a milestone birthday!
