As cheesy as it sounds I was married to my husband in my heart about two years before we legally got married... so it didn't feel different. <br /><br />Hope 2014 treats you well!Alli Lizerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06033799904019274008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6725542767488222714.post-61844667359710675892014-01-01T12:12:27.284-08:002014-01-01T12:12:27.284-08:00Hello, friend.

But I did. With marriage comes a security that I never felt before. And a sense of belonging to each other as we have announced to the world that this other person is the one I want to spend the rest of my life with.trishiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00836141363242482379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6725542767488222714.post-62470090420185170712013-09-17T14:10:13.560-07:002013-09-17T14:10:13.560-07:00I remember asking my brother the same question, af...I remember asking my brother the same question, after he got married. He, however, did feel different. He said he could feel the commitment, that he knew they would be together. He said it invites a different type of love into the relationship. He said it takes sacrifice and listening and constructive arguing in order to make a marriage work, but I can tell now--he's been married for two years--that he looks at his wife differently than when they were just dating, or even when they were just engaged. Their love is deeper, stronger, and they have an even more intense understanding of each other.

It'...I'm going to go with Keith and Jane... It's not much different other than a deep feeling of emotional security (if you're with the right person). <br /><br />With my first husband (that sounds so bad, lol) we had a shotgun wedding at the court house. He was wearing jeans and I was wearing shorts. I was 4 months pregnant. BUT we had lived together for two years prior and we were most definitely in love. The sound of being called by his last name and saying "my husband" and hearing him say "my wife" and wearing a simple ring that was his great grandmothers made me giddy. It was the most un-fancy event ever but sooooo romantic in all of the right ways. mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14457900572853874272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6725542767488222714.post-84527902685746079912013-06-11T16:58:40.837-07:002013-06-11T16:58:40.837-07:00Quite frankly, happiness comes before the marriage...Quite frankly, happiness comes before the marriage, so from a happiness level it doesn't change much. If you weren't quite happy before getting married, you can't expect that you'll magically be happier once you've taken the vows. But what changes it your level of commitment to each other - you can't just walk out, you've got to work through things together and grow together. And most of the times it's amazing and beautiful, and sometimes it sucks and all you want to do is curse at your husband. But deep down you know that the commitment is there, and that despite the lows it's all worth it. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.thislittlestreet.com/blog" rel="nofollow">Audrey - This Little Street</a>Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922365008864026354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6725542767488222714.post-67291583544105987412013-06-10T18:57:49.926-07:002013-06-10T18:57:49.926-07:00wow. as i was reading, i was trying to answer the ...wow. as i was reading, i was trying to answer the question myself and really there isn't a fancy answer. being married just feels like you have a partner with you in life - everything that i do, everything that i am happy about, fearful of, uncertain of, i share with my husband and i never feel alone or discouraged.. i have this feeling like i can take on the world with him having my back. :) Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01073489020505303471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6725542767488222714.post-8661512607560986872013-06-10T08:29:50.289-07:002013-06-10T08:29:50.289-07:00honestly, it doesn't feel different at all. i...honestly, it doesn't feel different at all. i was never one of those women who needed to be married either. we lived together and if it was that and only that, then i was ok with it. if we got married, then i was ok with that too. as long as we were together, that's all that mattered.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6725542767488222714.post-8869173134230543392013-06-10T08:11:07.213-07:002013-06-10T08:11:07.213-07:00Marriage is happiness.

We grow together. <br /><br />To me, marriage was a way of me locking up my stud of a husband. He's mine ladies!

I feel that my friendship with my husband has just gotten better and better over time. He really is my best friend and soulmate.<br /><br />My husband is a really nice man. He is very nice to me. He is a good father. He is a good husband. Marrying the right person is really the key to a good marriage.

I've known my boyfriend for 8yrs but we've been dating for 6 and living together for 3yrs. Eventually we are going to get married but there is no rush because I don't think our life will change except that he'll be my husband and not my boyfriend. <br /><br />We've already planned on when we'll be having children which may or may not happen before legally getting married, support each other financially and through various issues with family and what not. <br /><br />What I think is a special moment between any couple is when they decide to make a commitment to each other. I feel this occurs way before a marriage proposal.
