What you enjoy about being married

I like feeling all grown up!!!

I too like the "this is my husband" but at 2 months it is still weird!!!

I like the security feeling that it brings and the excitement of next steps!

Completely agree with that, it mean't so much to have the same surname as E (although it was only 8 months with different names!) I love love love saying 'this is my husband' and I love it when he calls me his 'wife'! I also love that I am no longer living apart from H and we are once again a little family together, even though we had to pack up and say bye to family and friends at home [:'(]

Most of all, I love having the memories and photographs of our wedding to always keep. Makes a bad day into a good one straight away!

Did you not feel different after being married? Me and Mr GB have been together nearly 10 years but we did comment that we felt a little closer after getting married. We weren't expecting too but something did change. It's a lovely feeling ?

Oh good - it's not just me then!!!!! I love being married, but to be honest day to day it feels pretty much the same!

I do like saying husband instead of boyfriend though, as I always felt that 'boyfriend' made ti sound like we'd only been dating 2 weeks! We don't have kids (nor going to) so the family thing didn't really apply to us. I have changed my name though.

I don't think it feels much different really either! Having my daughter last year definitely made us feel closer to each other so I guess marriage just couldn't top that! I guess we are just still as happy and comfortable with our H's as we were before the wedding!

We've been married over 18 months now and I still have a little chuckle to myself when I refer to H as my husband ?

I feel much more 'settled' now that we're married. It's funny what a bit of paper can do, eh?

Not a bad thing at all!
I dunno, we really didn't expect much to change but do think it's made us closer. We got engaged after 7.5 years together and it felt different - we were proper loved up! (friends of ours have said the same thing) and it changed again slightly when we got married. A definite feeling of closeness.

It's gonna change again in a few weeks when Bun comes along too! Eeeek!

Hello! I don't really come on here much as don't 'know' you ladies really since leaving WP but am having a bit of a skive lurk so please can I join in?!

I just love the feeling of being married to my H! It's not that much has changed, it's not that we're different, but like some have said, it somehow feels different, more settled, closer, warmer, I'm not sure what the word is, but even when we're not together I love the feeling of being married, and having my rings on to prove I'm part of a very special relationship!

I also like the forms BK although it makes me feel a bit old ? It was my birthday recently so I got my first 'Wife' card - that was lovely - H said there is much more choice of cards for Wife than Girlfriend - I even got a badge!

I never really liked calling Mr T my fiance (not sure why just didnt trip off the tongue that easily) however the word husband is all together different and feels really good. We have only been married 3 months and yet feels like years already (although really not sure if that is a good thing, as if it feels like years now what the hell will it feel like in years time? lol).

If I'm honest our realtaionship doesnt feel different from the way we were before. However I do know that he now isnt going to do a runner - not that I thought before we got married that I would come back from work one day only to discover that he had moved out or anything like that. But we do have the odd fantastic row. Before I would wonder if he would just say f it and go and stay at his parents or something and then decide that our realtionship wasnt worth the trouble (he never did this but I did wonder it sometimes - normally after a firework filled all singing all dancing dispute about some pathertically boring topic such as painting the hallway, now I know that he is in this realtionship as much as I am. Writting that has just made me realise that properly for the first time..... must bring up when our bedroom is going to get painted when he gets back home (he he).

Another thing is hotels I like booking in as Mr and Mrs T.

I love telling people who knew me a couple of years ago that I am married as most of them drop their jaws and just stare with a stupid look on their faces. It makes me really proud at how much I have changed as a person since meeting Mr T.

Tinks your footer really made me laugh!

That's a good point about the arguing, although I have to say after a horrid one after we were married I was a bit 'Gulp. What have I done???' But I soon got over it, and yes the security and forever-ness is lovely!

He he thanks.

I still have had the gulp moment but I do know that he now has to try much harded to get away from me he he !!

Defintely the security thing for me too!

Ditto! Mr GB stayed as boyfriend until we were married.
I didn't have a birthday when we were engaged by Mr GB did and as I was browsing the boyfriend cards I noticed a one that had "fiance" written right across it so decided to buy it to wind him up, plus it made me chuckle! ?

Eeeeek! Scary times! ? Could be as soon as 4 weeks today!!! ?

Glad I'm not the only one who had a real difficulty with the word fiance

We felt closer after getting married too. Sorry if TMI but sex felt more intimate too like we were more connected.

I never say it either, doesn't seem to suit him! It seems a bit, hmmm I don't know what the word is, but he's 6 foot 4, 20 stone, and hairy as a bear so fiance sounds a bit flowery for him lol

It's a shame because I waited for so long to be engaged and to have a fiance and now I never say it.

I'm looking forward to seeing if I feel any different when we're married - we already have our house, joint bank accounts, joint credit cards etc so I don't think it'll make me feel any more 'together' with him, but I'm hoping to be surprised ?

We already had all of these - well minus the credit cards (due to a rather mis spent youth my credit is shot and I wouldnt even be able to get credit at poundland) and we feel closer/ more together. Its a strange kind of feeling really more like peace of mind (not that I am saying that you arent happy/ content/ etc IYKWIM) or a calm. Fingers crossed that once you are an OM you know what I mean. ?

That sounds really lovely ?

Roll on February!!!

Just thought I'd say that this is a lovely post ?
