Married Life: Not Much Different

We are seven months into our marriage and one question we hear often other than the when-are-you-procreating question is, "Do you love being married?"

Odd question, right? I mean, why would I have gotten married if I didn't think I'd love it? Also, there is only one acceptable answer to this question, especially in small talk. The answer is "of course," and you must answer with a twinkle in your eye otherwise people will think something is wrong in your marriage.

In all seriousness, I love it. But here's the thing - I don't ESPECIALLY love it. I don't love it more than I loved living with Dude and being a part of his life before we got married. I don't love married life more than I loved single life. It's not like we woke up the day after our wedding and it was all sunshine and unicorns and all of our everyday problems went away. It was exactly the same, with just a few differences. It's just the logical progression of our relationship. We love our lives together, married or not.

So, yes, I love it. While some things have changed, most things have stayed exactly the same. And THAT'S what I love about it.
