So how's the married life?

Alejandra, on May 15, 2019 at 1:54 PM Posted in Married Life 0 22

I have been asked this question a few times since I have gotten married and I kind of laugh at it a bit because I think what was supposed to change? Lol, I did have a wifey makeover after the wedding after letting my hair grow out, I cut it not too short just a health cut, I got some eyelash extensions and bought myself someone super sexy stuff to wear when hubby and I go out. Apart from that having my beautiful wedding bands (its an enhancer band ) is also a "new" thing. Life continues though, we lived together before and that was great and we live together now, ha-ha. I am still in the name changing process so I should be getting that done soon.

But how's the married life? It's great, nothing has changed for us as we always try and do Monday night date nights as hubby has Sunday/Monday as his of days and I have Sat/Sun. We def do something Sundays just depends on how we're feeling! If things would have changed when we got married I would have gotten worried but our love continues to grow and flourish and everything has been perfect!

I know not everyone lived together before, etc? But hows the married life treating you? What changed and whats gotten better?

    Same here lol. I get asked the same thing so many times and I never know what to say besides great because we were living together long before we even got engaged and our relationship was already amazing. I can say the only thing that has really changed is my name since I obtained my husband's last name but that's about it. We've been together for 7 years now and honestly I think our love just grow every day and I couldn't ask for more. All I can care about is being truly happy with him Smiley heart I'm glad you are having the same experience, I wish you all the happiness in the world!

    Things are the same but also different. Every day life is the same. We owned a home already, lived together, etc. We go to work, come home, I cook dinner and he cleans up afterwards. Same as it always has been. But, we definitely feel more blissful. We feel closer, more like a family and a social unit now that we have the same last name. We always had goals and things we worked towards together, but now our goals really feel like our goals. Talking about having a baby next year is fun, home updates are fun, everything is more amazing in little ways.

    Whenever anyone asks me this I say “exactly the same as non-married life” ...the response I get are amusing. Like “lol yeah that is true isn’t it?”

    I think everything is really very much the same for us. Now I have an impossible to pronounce last name 🤷🏻‍♀️. Every so often I go “wait I am a WIFE?!” Haha or “WEIRD, you’re my HUSBAND” ...and it gets real trippy when I’m referring to him in conversation with someone that doesn’t know him and I say something about “oh yeah my husband does that” and it still gives me the feels after I’ve said it

    Haha, I'm not married yet but one of my friends got married in October and she said that whenever someone asks how married life is, her response is just "the same, but now every time I get sick people ask if I'm pregnant" hahaha

    LMAO isn't that the truth! I've had countless people ask us when the babies were coming, even at the wedding! Coworkers are always looking at me now too, waiting I assume. My boss was nonchalantly asking the other day, when we were having a conversation about age (I'm 25, not that it matters) and he asked when we wanted to have kids.

    My husbands step-brother and his girlfriend just found out they were pregnant and when MIL tells people she is going to be a grandma everyone gets excited for us and she has to tell them we aren't the ones pregnant!

    I'm asked that all the time. My default answer: "Same as non-married life...just more paperwork!"

    I think that it is technically the same, but also different. I feel as through we have dealt with negotiations with family relationships and boundaries now that we're married. Not that we weren't a united front before but I feel as though we are even more "united" now in how we set boundaries with others in our lives. It feels more intentional now that we're married. And then of course there is everyone asking us when we're having a baby *insert massive eye roll here*

    I always say “it’s the same”. The only real difference is that I feel more ready for children. But I’d still like to wait a couple of years lol.

    Hubby and I were long distance and use to Skype nearly every night so it feels really special. before we lived together a part of me was nervous to live together and now that thought is super silly lol because it feels so natural to be together all the time. Sometimes when we're in bed he gets really mushy and says things like so happy its no longer over my computer screen which is so sweet. My family has gotten better with boundaries lol they understand better now that its us and not just me or him. Overall though for me married life is what I expected it to be it's pretty normal nothing super crazy or extravagant but I love it nonetheless. We are younger than most so we dont get the pregnant thing hardly ever but my mom does hint that she wants grandbabies lol we're waiting a few years until that starts happening thoughSmiley smile

    We just got married this past week and immediately after, our parents started asking how married life was... And when my husband went to work, he said everyone kept asking him if he felt any different being married. The biggest thing that is different now is that I wake up and go to sleep next to him everyday, which is great... so far! Ha! But aside from that, our relationship feels no different.

    I’m not married yet but my FH and I don’t live together, so I’m excited for the change of living with him once I’m married.

    I remember when my hubby and I first started living together before we got married and we straightened out a lot from our personal lives such as finances, our careers and other things. We became engaged a little after and got married 15 months later. There is an adjustment to living together and sometimes its more than we can expect. But most important, as long as communication is open and honest you should be able to make it through anything. Cheers to happiness & love!

    That's true! Hubby automatically switched to a "let me talk to my girlfriend/fiancee/wife" when we started dating. I mean of course I consider him heavily on everything just as much; during the wedding planning process we were tested on so many levels so its been great to have that real support especially when its came to dealing with his side of the family. But we're good and stronger than ever and getting stronger so yay!! And ughhh, I can't even deal with the baby questions. Let us enjoy us before we have kids!!
