Re: newlywed questions

We've been happily married a year and it just keeps getting better. If you guys were happy dating and engaged then you'll be happily married too. Sure it takes work, but remember to keep things spontaneous and fun... even when you have kids. There's no secret to a happy marriage... it's just what you guys put into it. If you want it to work then it will.
Congrats and enjoy every moment together!

we where dating for 9 years b4 we got married and we were very happy, and now that we got married our relationship seems even better, but some lady at my work keeps saying it honeymoon love will end soon, which i find upsetting, because it seems like since we got married we love each other more and more everyday. i just think this person at work never has nothing nice to say

Re: newlywed questions

its funny you say that we always to date night on sundays around 7, we rent a movie and get some popcorn, turn the ringers off on the phone, we actaully look forward to it during the week, bc its our time and no one can distrub us

Re: newlywed questions

Honestly-no clue.

We have lived together for 7 years soooo I really couldnt tell you. I know that wonderful fireworks, lightning, etc. was gone after about 3 years when real life took over.

After we got married we were like 2 giddy people for months, only recently with unexpected events has it gotten a little harder to keep from kicking DH down some stairs.

But like someone else said, we have one night that is just for us, whether we watch TV, go out to dinner, rent a movie, etc. we have one night that is just for that. We do a really really nice dinner twice a month just to get out in general, unfortunately with our schedules this has gotten harder to follow but we do our best to make it work.

Re: newlywed questions

I honestly can say that being married is no different then when we were dating except people can say my last name We;ll celebrate 1yr in about 2.5wks and it's still great! We have our moments, but in the end no different. I guess when the honeymoon REALLY ended and we weren't all go-go eyed was the next day. It was like ok we're married...let's get breakfast

Re: newlywed questions

Well I am still disgustingly happy at four months!

We were together for ten years but moved in together after the wedding. We are still insanely happy.

Don't worry - I have stated it before and you will notice it more now BUT People are made uncomfortable by happiness. They do not know how to deal with it.

People would ask how married life was and I just CANNOT hide how happy I am and that is when the comments would start
"give it time, you will see"
"HA! i bet everyone starts out like that"
"THAT wont last long"

So now, I just smile and say that Married life is fine and I get less comments!!

There is no reason that you can't be this happy for the rest of your lives. Everyone has ups and downs - it doesnt mean that we havent fought . . . BUT there is something so comforting about the security that we have now that we are a family. . . I just dont see that ever changing!

Re: newlywed questions

Its so hard to say for us. Weve been together 7 1/2 years living together almost 5. We've always had that honeymoon period and getting married reinforced it even more. And now that were going on our HM its EVEN BETTER! I dont feel like it has ever gone away which is why I love DH so much.

Re: newlywed questions

things are still wonderful!! but i did post like a wk ago about comparing things now to our earlier days and how i miss the initial FIREWORKS and newness now that we're in our routine. but along with routine comes other things i find i adore about him too. so i guess you could say that things are great, just different. relationships go through peaks and valleys, so i think its normal. i would say don't *expect* to lose that feeling. just enjoy it!!

Re: newlywed questions

its the same as dating - no different for us. We wake up, we go to work, we come home have dinner together and go to bed. I mean life is more exciting then that for us but in general how would it be more diff cause your married unless you never lived with the person. We both are happy and in love but its not like birds are freaking singing around our heads and hearts are popping out of my butt.

Re: newlywed questions

The feeling has not left of being a NW but there are still time s I want to kill him - Honestly that is just all normal though b/c I felt that way when we were dating. Do I remember the first year of dating with the butterflies? YES. Do I want to go back to that. NO. It was a stage and that is where it needs to be left. We have grown into something now much more productive and I have learned so much through the years. I say enjoy every stage that the marriage brings and don't let people get you crazy. I find more often than not people that are unhappy will say to me wait till years of marriage and than still tell me if your happy. They are such downers It gets me soo annoyed
Your marriage and relationships is all what you make it, it is constant work all the time and if you neglect it or not nurture it like anything it will fail. I can't wait to prove all those people WRONG that continually tell me oh wait till the HM stage is OVER!:

Re: newlywed questions

Okay so we've only been married for less than two months and we are obviously still in our honeymoon stage but I have to say, FOR US, I think it has a lot to do with the fact that we didn't live together until after the wedding. So there has been a lot of adjustments and no it hasn't been 100% easy all the time. But it's been an experience that I wouldn't give up for anything in the world. Each day that we gcome home to our little apartment and have dinner mwe feel more and more at home - and now that things have calmed down from the wedding, we are finally able to just concentrate on us and enjoy each other. The good and the bad.

Re: newlywed questions

had to post again cause i just realized that this is my 4,000th!

Re: newlywed questions

We've been married 116 days and together for 3 years and it's still pretty fabulous

Re: newlywed questions

honestly, I feel like after the 6 month mark we're finally in the honeymoon stage. The first 6 were a real adjustment period, between me moving all my stuff in which took forever, and now we finally have our routines down on who does what and what household projects we share...I think it's easier now to enjoy each other's company.

Peggie you have me dying here! As someone I used to work with stated about marriage once....

" You will never love someone so much...nor will you ever hate someone so much"....

DH & i have lived together for years...we had that giddy "just married" stuff last about a week because he was then off to VA for 3 months for consulting work right after the wedding and we were apart for our "honeymoon" period...i do feel that we have a closer bond now that we are married...this year's been tough because of DH being out of work...but it makes me realize things can only get better!
