Relationship Changes After Marriage?

View Quoted Comment That all makes sense! Sounds like you both have great communication. Taking on difficult conversations and also deciding on changes to life plans isn't always easy, but it's a good sign when you can do those things and come to an agreement about what you both feel is best. My husband and I felt similarly before we got engaged - we'd been together long enough (and living together) to where we felt like we were already married, though without the paperwork. Now that the papers are signed, I don't feel like anything is different. Our relationship feels the same, just stronger. Awesome that you two have been together for so long!

View Quoted Comment Living together beforehand helps make that transition to married life a lot easier! I'm sure that if anything changes in your relationship after marriage, it will only be for the better.

It didn't change! i feel like all marriage is is a more committed version of your relationship that you had the foundation for already.

View Quoted Comment Moving in together is definitely a big step in a relationship! What types of things changed in your relationship when you moved in together? What change were you most surprised by?

View Quoted Comment Long time awaited for sure! Best wishes for an easy transition to living together!

View Quoted Comment This was pretty much my experience! We've been together for a while, and lived together for a few years. It hasn't felt any different being married, but I do think our relationship is a bit stronger now. I love getting to call him my husband. I still haven't gotten used to being called his wife, so whenever I hear him refer to me as his wife, it puts a smile on my face!

View Quoted Comment It is crazy how quickly time flies!! I feel like I blinked, and suddenly another week goes by. I'm not quite sure how to explain it either - yes, the relationship feels stronger, but it also doesn't feel different, lol. Awesome to hear that everything has been going well for you! By the way, happy one month anniversary to you!

Nothing really changed for us except the legal benefits and I wasnt spending as much money lol. We had already lived together over a year and integrated our lives completely so being officially married really wasn't a big change for us at all.

View Quoted Comment Thank you so much Lisa! ❤️

View Quoted Comment Oh no, sorry to hear that he prioritized the wedding over the marriage! What types of changes did you notice after the wedding? Best wishes that you both can work through everything.

View Quoted Comment That's so exciting that you're coming up on your one year anniversary - congratulations!! It's awesome that you are truly married to your best friend, and that your relationship has only grown stronger since the wedding.

View Quoted Comment I completely agree with you on this!

I don’t think anything will be different! We’ve been married for 7 days but have known each other for 18 years and already have a 9 and 3 year old. I’d say we are as solid as it gets, but I know time changes things. Nothing switched or felt different after we said I do. If anything, I just felt a deeper connection.


We are excited to continue living our best life!
I agree with you! If all those stressful things did not break you, you’re in great shape!!

View Quoted Comment Lol, awesome that you were able to save more money after marriage! Living together beforehand seems to be a good way to ensure an easier transition to married life.

View Quoted Comment Congratulations on your first week of marriage!! How exciting! Sounds like your relationship is super solid. I felt similarly after my wedding - no real changes in the relationship, though it did feel stronger.

Been married for three months now and the day to day isn’t much different. But emotionally I feel more comfortable, safe and understood. He tells me the same. We just feel closer to one another . It’s a stronger connection knowing that the other person is as committed to this relationship as you are.

View Quoted Comment This is about how I feel as well! I've been married just over two months, and while our relationship has pretty much stayed the same, we both feel like it's also somehow even stronger than before.

We didn’t expect any changes. We’ve been living together for 6+ years, only married for 2 months now and things are the same really. Just that I have a new name and a bigger ring haha

Our relationship is more comfortable and loving. We are bonded and giggly still at calling each other hubby and wifey. Nothing much has changed in any other way. I believe it’s like everything, it takes work, respect and love

Hello, I have been married a month. The marriage hasn't changed, it's just the same ole stuff that I thought we got past. Nothing major just a pain to keep revisiting the same thing.
