    I've officially been married for one month and the hubby and I were talking about how marriage has been so far.  And so far I really love that.  Regardless of how tired we are, we talk a bit about "us" in bed before we go to sleep.  I really want to keep it up and he seems to enjoy it too. 

    So I am just curious, what do you love so far???

    At first, it was the fact that neither of us had to pack a bag to stay over each others' places anymore! Now, I think it's having the same, wonderful man to come home to every night and talk about my day to!

    Great post! I had to think about this one :o)

    Our dinners together and evening walks. We are trying to save money by limiting our eating out. So far, so good! Then we usually spend 30 minutes or so walking and catching up on the day. It's nice to have that time together.

    I just love having a partner in life - someone to travel with, eat dinner with, share all of my crazy ideas with (and sometimes he even runs with it!).... someone who I know will always be there, no matter what.

    My favorite thing, though, would have to be first thing in the morning, when both of our alarms go off and we both hit snooze and snuggle. :)

    It sounds kinda cheesy, but I just love coming home and knowing that I get to hang out with my best friend all the time. :)  And I do agree with Mrs. Joey--it's nice to have your personal time back after all the planning sort of consumed our for the year before the wedding.

    Seeing that ring on his finger!  Also all the free time and relaxation of having the wedding over.  And having all of our money in the same account, life is so much simpler now.

    MissGreen    July 2009  

    We will be married 10 mths next week and here is a couple things:

    Him calling me his wife. IDK, something about it makes me giggly.

    Having my best friend as my husband too. I beleive that friendship is your rock solid foundation for a happy marriage.

    Being Mrs. Green (not really my name) but my last name was such a sore subject for me from an absentee father to a disgraceful family that I never had any pride in a name. His name is stong, respectful and I am honored to be sharing it and a part of his family.

    Some think when you are married, your future plans stop. Not for us, he is constantly seeing things for us 5, 10, 15+ years down the road. Picturing that and our dreams togethor makes every day so exciting.

    Honestly, there has not been one day since getting married, I have felt any regret or what if. Even if I am having the worst day ever and feel like giving up on everything around me, thinking about us and our family and him as my husband always puts a smile on my face. Sorry, having a hormonal, emotional night, so feeling a little grateful for my DH.

    @Joey - Um, I feel the same way.  FI and I have will have lived together for almost 2 years by our wedding day... and what I am excited about is NO MORE WEDDING PLANNING!!! Other than that, I'm excited for the honeymoon and for us to both have our wedding bands.

    I'm not married yet, but I know that besides from calling him my husband (I already refer to him as my "Future Husband") I know that I love the fact that we are team together in life - that's what marriage is about!

    I love him so much!

    I love that I feel the need to discuss things with him, he is my #1 go-to person and I draw great strength from that. I did before too, but it's even more so the case now. Any walls or inhibitions I had left are gone and I feel like there is absolutely no need to keep anything from him, I can be as vulnerable as I need to be because he is my husband. The word "intimacy" keeps coming to my mind to describe what I feel. We have been living together 7 years and have gone through a lot, but I never would have imagined how much closer I feel to him now that we are married. And I love that the most.

    According to DH he flirts less now. I guess I like that too, even if I haven't noticed it myself :)

    I can't choose one!!!!

    I love that I can tell him absolutely anything-we are so open and honest with each other...it's just wonderful!

    I love seeing him when he gets home from work at night while I'm cooking dinner-makes all the worries from the day go away!

    I love cuddling on the couch while watching tv.

    I love him calling me, Mrs. ****** and I love seeing his wedding ring.

    I love knowing we are in this together-for the long-haul

    I love knowing that hopefully soon, I'll be pregnant and we're going to have a baby!

    Besides the usual ring on his finger, calling him my husband, etc., we love getting out of stuff!

    I hate saying it, but marriage is our ticket out of bar hopping invitations and happy hours at work. We just say, "Oh, we're an old married couple now, we're staying in with a movei tonight!" and people are like, "Oh yeah, okay ... have fun!" whereas before it was, "Awww, come onnnnn, you're only young once!"

    I too, have been married for a month TODAY! I love the fact that we can still call each other "husband" and "wife". I love that now he doesn't have to drive so far to see me! I love being able to be there when he gets home everyday. I enjoy our time that we have at night before we go to sleep.

    I enjoy a lot about being married! Every time I look at my rings, it makes me so happy I did get married!

    My favorite thing in the world is waking up and cuddling with my husband in the morning! He sets his alarm 15 minutes earlier than mine so we get to cuddle before getting ready for work. It's the best!

    Saying 'My husband'.   Hearing him say 'my wife.'

    I love seeing his ring on his finger.  I know i had my ering on for more than two years and for him he never had anything like that until we got married.  I love seeing it and thinking, "wow, we're married!'

    I love having everyone naturally assume we'll be together, like when we're invited for dinner at a friend's house or when I travel home for family functions. He's been invited along to most everything since a few months after we began dating, but now it just seems more natural for people to think of us as a team :)  (and yes we sometimes go to things solo still too)

    Being able to call him my husband! And hearing him call me his wife :)

    After years of being the girlfriend and then some more years being the fiance I get butterflies finally hearing "wife".

    Also, I love just knowing that we are one team. We work through everything together - right now it is so much fun fixing up our first home together. It is nice knowing that eventually we will even have our first baby in this house :)

    i love being a wife and hearing the word. But a new ritual i love is we now have "pancake sunday" every sunday! I know someday when we have kids we will look back on our peaceful pankake mornings as a happy memory!

    I also love not having to pack a bag to stay over! We lived 30 minutes from each other, and he commutes 2.5 hours to work. After being stuck in traffic, it was tough to convince him to drive another 30 minutes to come see me! He always did though...  ;) LOVE HIM

    Of course him calling me his wife finally, I was getting sick of the 'fiance' crap, haahhahaaha.  I love the stability feeling that I have in my heart knowing that we are tied together and nothing will do us apart.  Woohooo!!

    I can't pick just ONE thing.  I love calling each other "husband" and "wife", but I also love making plans about our future.  Like the other day, we discussed when we would seriously TTC... and which schools our children will attend... I can't wait to start a family!!  Laughing

    Being a team, our own family unit. We make the big decisions together, plan for the future of our dreams and work our way to it.

    We were talking to some salesperson at some store and they said, "Well now that your married, are kids in the future"  He responded "Yes, kids for sure, just not right now".  Its always reassuring to know that deep down he really does want a family as bad as I do, he just doesn't have ovaries screaming at him!

    Neva    July 2010  

    Like the rest of you, I LOVE hearing him refer to me as his wife.  I love when he introduces me to someone, saying, "This is my wife, Neva."  I also love looking at his hand and seeing that wedding ring.  Somehow that little ring makes such a big difference.  It's such a visible reminder that says, "Yes, we really are married!"\

    Shortly after the wedding we opened a joint checking account.  Yesterday, we got the checks.  I loved seeing those checks with BOTH our names on them...with my name right under his, "Neva HISLASTNAME."  Sometimes, it's the little things that make such a difference.

I love that we can just be ourselves even more so than ever before!

    I'm just so proud of him and so happy to call him mine.....Like everyone else, I love seeing that ring on his finger and knowing that anyone who sees him knows that he is TAKEN :o)  I also love knowing that I have such a wonderful person as my life partner.

    I love saying my husband in normal conversation and when i here him say something like oh my wife.. ;-) also i love glancing over and seeing a ring on his finger! He never wears any jewelry so it always catches my eye. 

    Its such a cool feeling having it official.. even though not much has changed since we lived together before.. it's just a wonderful sense of security and love!
