Person: "So, how's married life?"
Me: "Um, it's exactly the same."
Dude and I dated for six years prior to our nuptuals, and lived together for 2 of those 6 years, so as far as we were concerned we were already married. The wedding was just a one day party to sign our license.
But I guess it's not entirely true. Certain things are different. The biggest change I can tell right now is that when dealing with certain issues, we are a team. We back each other up.
So when my mother calls and says, "Listen, don't take the subway, you might get swine flu," and I tell her that's she's overreacting, there are now two of us telling her she's overreacting. Except Dude is much more diplomatic than me, so she listens to him. The point is, it's no longer me against the world. It's us against the world. It's nice to not have all that responsibility solely on my shoulders anymore.
Here's something for your amusement:
I can't properly credit this photo because it's been circulating around the internets.

I feel just the same way! I was worried that things would change after we married, because I felt like things were perfect. But like you say, the only thing that's changed is that we're closer; we're more of a team. I love it!
