Okay, so I'm married now and I'm going to answer the question that I keep getting asked - How's married life treatin' ya? While I'm fairly confident the question intends to be a segway to conversation, this is my honest answer (for those who really want to know):
Its hard. Exchanging vows completely changed our relationship; even after we already lived together in our co-owned property.
Its sacrificing. Its compromise. Its knowing when it's the right time to hold my ground and when I should just back off. Its quiet time. Its family planning. Its time apart, as much as its time together. Its sharing. Its not sharing. Its sex. Its understanding my part in the deal. Its fighting. Its laughing. Unfortunately, sometimes its farting. Its gaining an entire other family. Its crying. Its love. Its what I'm willing to give, instead of what I'm expecting to get. It's a happy face when I want to scream. It's really-really big, ridiculous sideburns that I have no control over loving (he shaved them off about a month before the wedding so that he wouldn't have razor burn and I missed them and told him to grow them back). Its waking up every morning, despite all the aforementioned, and thinking to myself Good God, I love this man.
This is me apologizing to those people who tried to share their pearls of wisdom with me in the past while I appeared dazed over and thought I had everything figured out.
This is my newly acquired perspective.
Its work - everyday.
