    My life has changed. I moved away from family and friends. But there feels like a lot of familiarity (I had lived with hubby a few years ago for awhile). It feel like I came home. So I am builing a new business, making new friends...it's different.

    What changes have y'all seen?

    Mine is extreme, I know, but I am curious what's happening with everyone else.

    None! We were just talking about this yesterday. We had already made certain commitments to one another -- we lived together, began co-mingling our finances,  moved to China together -- so there hasn't been anything (yet) that feels different about our relationship or our lives. I keep waiting for it, though!

    Seems like we are in the same boat.  After we got married, we had to move across the country to an area where we know no one.  It has definetly been an adjustment since he is working full time and I'm home alone mostly because I have classes at night.

    We moved to Italy; it's been quite different! But honestly, just being married is the biggest difference. I love it.

    Married life is pretty much the same, just a little calmer with no wedding to plan and anticipate. Life is good!

    Ours hasn't changed much at all. We lived together for four years before the wedding, though, so we were already pretty much married in the general sense of things.

    But after the wedding, there was definitely this overall sense of calmness that we highly enjoyed. The few months leading up to our wedding took a toll on us because we had no time for each other for the most part (and when we did, we were tired and just wanted to sleep).

    Once we got back from our honeymoon, unpacked all our gifts and suitcases, it was a wonderful feeling, and we felt emotionally closer than any other point in our relationship. It was awesome.

    LOL Million, I'm waiting for it too!

    Much like the rest of you, we lived together for 2 years before the wedding and now that we are back from the honeymoon, life is excatly the same, the only time I feel different is when we are around friends or out in public. For some reason when we are out, I feel closer to him now that he is my husband.

    One reason things are still the same at home might be because we cheated and started wearing our wedding bands around the house & called each other "husband" and "wife" all before we got married :)

    I will admit, I'm having some post wedding blues, I don't know what to do with myself!

    I dont really feel that our life is too much different thankfully.  The main differences is having to discuss money and not being able to buy whatever I want without consulting someone.  Also a new name :)

    The semester started back up and my husband is working full-time, in school half-time.  We definitely don't see each other as much as we did in the two months around the wedding, but that has less to do with the wedding than the time of year.

    Things haven't seemed much different than before we were married.  He had moved in the first of November of last year, but worked out of town until middle of January, and then he got hurt on the job and was at home from Feb. until 3 weeks before we got married.  So we spent a lot of time together before becoming married.  Only difference now is that we don't have the wedding planning to do and I have a new last name!!!

    It hasn't really changed much instead now I get to say my husband.  We were dating for almost 6 years so it always felt like we were married anyway

    Really nothing has changed much between us. Now in the next few months that won't be the case since we will be welcoming a new addition into the family. So I guess getting us mentally and physically prepared for the baby will make our bond stronger.

    Nothing, so far! But it's been less than two weeks. We already lived together and stuff.... so I guess maybe like Roddybride, when we have a baby it will feel different?

    I agree with a lot of you. Not much has changed except my last name :-)

    Not much for us either, we lived together for years.  It is nice not to have the wedding hanging over our heads.  My wedding day was perfect but I'm glad all that planning is behind me.  But I would say it feels a little more "official" among family as well as friends and coworkers, despite us living together, comingling finances, and making a lifetime commitment to each other long ago.  Maybe its just my perception but it kind of feels like I'm accepted into the "married" club, and our relationship is more permanent.  As far as day to day stuff  - all the same.

    Not much has changed.  I guess we feel more comfortable with eachother's families now.  Like we are more accepted or welcomed.  We feel more like a team too and feel like we can think more about our future together.  But otherwise everything is pretty much the same.  We lived together for 3 years before getting married.

    We moved in together and combined finances and I changed my name. But pretty much everything else is the same.

    well, we had to move out of the barracks! also, my husband had to come join me on my base, so i actually had him with me (yay!) I changed my last name. marriage is kind of a big adjustment to me b/c we only dated a couple of months long distance before we got married (we knew each other from a previous time, however, but we lost contact and dated other people for awhile).  we're getting used to it, though.  he came here about 5 months after we got maried.  it's weird to not have a ton of other people live in the same buildng as me, though, and not eat at the DFAC anymore.
