Does being married feel different?

My husband had that name change feeling. Right after the wedding, he right away changed his last name on facebook. Recently, he just got the documents at service canada with the marriage license name change. He feels proud. Signing the last name took sime time too to get adjusted too.

I feel the same but probably only because we already have lived together for 11 years.

Saying "husband" is kind of weird too lol.

AND remembering to smell my NEW last name and not my OLD one.

We were talking about it recently and we both think it doesn't feel different. We were already fully committed to each other. But it is really fun to call each other husband and wife all the time. And yesterday I vacuumed and we laughed because #wifelyduties

We are on our honeymoon currently. I understand the name thing because I'm using my credit card to pay for things to get the air mile points. We'll pay it off from our wedding money. But whenever I sign my name, I feel I have to apologize to my husband for not using his last name yet. Other than that, we feel we belong to each other now that we're married. There's a real feeling of contentment.

What if u don't change your name tho?

I was curious to know what difference it would be to be married. my fiancé and I have been together for 15 years and are just getting married.. with all the expense of it all we are starting to wonder.. why bother? whats going to change? weddings are soo expensive..

All it is, a piece of paper. In my opinion it doesn't change the relationship.

No different, except the name change.

I never know what name to use haha.

Being married hasn't felt that different at all. Mind you we have lived together for several years and been in a relationship for 6.5 years before we got married! The only thing really different is calling him my husband now instead of my fiancé.

I would say, it's not much different. Mind you, we lived together before we got engaged a year later. I think that with us being married and all the planning is now over, along with having our beautiful wedding the way we wanted it has brought us more closer together. Our love has been much tighter than before and we both enjoy our lives together.

It's completely different for me. I quit my job, moved out of my city and in with him. I'm now a step mother and a housewife. It's totally different. I also have some anxiety that's coming to the surface, feeling scared that I'm gunna fail. So it's a big change. I am excited to change my name tho lol

No change whatsoever (including name), just that much more committed.

Being married doesn't really feel that different which I always joke is a good thing because if it did, someone would have been hiding something for a long time! We're coming up on our one year anniversary in November but some days it's still like "wow we're married! We did it!" I still feel strange introducing him as my husband because I feel like we're too young and husbands and wives are older people than us. I did not change my name and have been trying to make sure that people are informed about it because we still get mail that says "Mr. and Mrs." I think in this day and age that it's pretty presumptuous to just assume that someone is changing their name.

They also say that the first year of marriage is the hardest but I haven't found that to be true. We've had more money issues than before because we're paying off the wedding and honeymoon but we're still us and are able to talk things through.

I think the name thing will be the biggest. My initials will stay the same but I feel like I will constantly screw up my signature and name for the first little while after we get married.
