Married and digging it.

[happywife]

I've been married for six months, and I lived with my husband four and a half years previous to our marriage. I disagree with the people who say that marriage and cohabitaion are so dissimilar - we had a mortgage, bank accounts, cars and insurance together before we married, and we always laugh about how married life is exactly the same as life was before - with the exception that now, instead of our families asking when we're going to get married, they ask when we're having kids. Same amount of pressure, just in different areas. I enjoy being married - but I think that realistic expectations are the foundation of a contented union.
