Has marriage changed your relationship in some way?

I’ve been with my husband for 9 years and we have been married almost a month now! I am not sure if anything has really changed but I do feel so happy to be married to him, to call him my husband, I feel somehow closer to him and like what we have is now sacred? It wasn’t like I wasn’t committed to him before but I don’t know it seems so much deeper like I would give my all to make it work, be his back bone, make him happy. Maybe it’s the sense of us taking a vow in front of everyone and upholding promises we’ve never said out loud before. Also, suddenly his family is treating me differently in a good way. I never thought getting married would have them suddenly shift to “You ARE family”.

    That sounds wonderful! I’m so excited to marry my best friend, the man of my dreams! We were together for 11 years & broke up for 6. I moved to the Phoenix area & tried to forget about him. Back in 2016, at my grandmother’s 100th birthday, I came back into town to help celebrate. We met for dinner & when he came around the corner, my heart skipped a beat, butterflies in the stomach! We got back together that weekend. I’m glad we had those 6 years apart, we had some growing up to do. Our relationship is solid, the trust is there, he’s the one. He’s always been the one!

    I would agree that my FIL is more open to me, but in terms of my relationship with DH?

    I think it's just a natural progression of being together longer, and also making Bigger choices, if you know what I mean. But the fundamentals of our relationship haven't changed.

    That’s a good way to put it. I am sure I will feel closer as we continue on with big changes we decide together or face.

    It will definitely change it legally. I'm not sure if my in-laws will treat me like family after we marry. They treat the women who are the mothers of their grandchildren better than me and more like family and these women were never married to their sons

    It made us closer. It's like our bond strengthened. Nothing changed with the family though lol. I'm glad it did for you!

    I think it made my husband and I closer as well. Obviously we were already committed to each other but I know for me personally marriage was a big step. I was nervous because its such a HUGE commitment. So knowing that we both wanted to take this step it meant alot to the both of us Smiley heart

    A lot of people asked me that! like they'd ask if marriage is different or how does it feel and i said it doesn't feel any different aha. i mean is it supposed to? we been together for years prior to and so it just felt like not much has changed because our love and foundation has been there already and so this was just a deeper form of commitment

    The way I described it to people was....it feels the same but happier. We're over a year into our marriage, but have been together for about 7 and lived together for about 6 and things didn't really change, but we are both still giddy to be able to call each other "husband" and "wife." I don't think the dynamics changed for us and our families. However, I have been very fortunate that my husband's family has been open and accepting of me from the beginning. I believe my husband feels the same about my family.
