    Is it everything you expected?  Different from what you expected? 

    Tell us how married life is treating you!

    It's treating me well - it's not terribly different for us since we lived together before we were married.  I'm just ready to finish the whole name change deal!

    It is so, so good! We have been married 8 months. We had our first "realtionship issue" at 5 months, worked hard to solve it, and we're better than ever now. It is the best feeling in the world!

    It's been great!  The best part is actually living together, makes things so much easier!  And it got even better today, we finally got the keys to our first home.  It was the best feeling ever walking in, or I should say being carried in, my hubby suprised me and picked me up and carried me over the threshold...so great!

    Been married almost 6 mos. now and loving it! We've had our fair share of fights since the wedding, but it just makes our relationship stronger! Funny thing is, since my hubby is in the navy, he's gone on long deployments before we got married, but for some reason it is sooooo much harder to be away from the man now that he's my husband! Other than time apart while hubby is doing navy stuff, marriage rocks!!!

    @Lillindy - that is too freaking sweet! that must be an awesome feeling to have your first home!

    So sweet to be carried over the threshold, Lilindy!

    I'm still putting away wedding things, writing thank you notes, and winding down from the wedding. I'm ready for some relaxation and to get used to referring to my husband without giggling!

    Married life is awesome!  Day to day stuff isn't that different form just living together, but we both feel different.  Although, I am still having a problem referring to my husband as "my husband" without giggling a little, too, mary-alice-me!

    Married life is wonderful.  It's different than being engaged, and better.  It's hard to say how, but there's just a difference knowing that this is my HUSBAND, not just some guy I date.  I love it and couldn't be happier.

    Carmen... I'm so sorry!

    My Husband and I didn't live together before the wedding, so there was a definite adjustment period.  For the first two weeks after our honeymoon there was a lot of bickering and petty fighting but we are two months in and now it's smooth sailling.  It's so nice to be married and living together. 

     My favorite part is when he kisses me goodbye each morning.

    I love being married. We've been married for 6 months.  I was surprised to find that it does feel different than when we were dating or engaged.  I can't place it or describe it - but it feels great.

    And I love that my husband likes to call me "Mrs. K____" whenever he gets the chance.  IT's pretty cute.  But when he's upset with me or teasing me, he just calls me "K___".  I love that we share the same last name - it's like we're on the same team now or something :)

    @Carmen, I am so, so sorry!!!    Not sure if you have posted about it here already but you can definitely cry on our virtual shoulders if you need to!!

    @everyone else -- sounds like things are great!  I have definitely heard the thing about it feeling different.  I could imagine things feeling different too (I am the type of person who "feels" "rites of passage" very deeply, for some reason.  If that makes any sense  Newlyweds:  how's married life? :  wedding Icon Biggrin

    All is well!  We lived together before, so day to day isn't much different!  I'm so happy the planning stress is gone!  Life doesn't get much better than that!

    Married life is pretty great.  We've lived together for almost 2.5 years, so not that much has changed around the house.  However, it's pretty cool being able to refer to him as "my husband"--I'm finally starting to be able to do it without laughing or feeling weird.  I actually just went to change my name yesterday at Social Security and have to do my new drivers license today.  I think once I'm officially Mrs ___, now THAT will be weird.  Especially this fall, in my pre-student teaching when that's what the kids call me!

    We lived together before our wedding too, and although day to day isn't different, to me it just feels different.  Great different.  I absolutely love being married to my husband, I love being his wife and him being my husband.  I love that when we look to the future we know for sure we are in it together - even though you know you will be before you are married, there is just something different about having made that commitment.    My husband got laid off this year, but we got through it together and it made our relationship even stronger. So for me, married life couldn't be better!
