Did life change much after marriage?

Not a great deal changed as a result of our wedding - we'd been living together for years but he got a job & "could afford my mortgage" as I put it.
Three children in 5 years definitely set the good ship Dig a-rocking, but I wouldn't ditch the supercargo!

Nothing much changed for me, except my name, and cheaper car insurance.

We got married middle aged, first marriage for both of us, and it's lovely to have that secure unified feeling - we are a family (just the two of us). Every marriage is different, as long as you are both on the same page as regards your lifestyle and life path.

Exciting times, getting married in a few months. Been very stressful but the bride is worth every penny and headache. Though I will probably still be moaning about the cost up to the day.
I am not a religious person but my partner is so I don't feel anything will feel different once we are married, especially as we already have an house together.

What about you guys? Did you, your partner or your relationship change much once married?

nope, nothing really changed.

Not at all, we both felt/feel that buying a house together and having a child was a bigger commitment

I liked having the same name as my daughter so that bit was good

I've only been married 18 months but with my DH for 10 years before that so for us nothing changed.
Other than a whopping bill to have my name changed (got married abroad, certificate needed to be translated)

Just celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. I don't think we got enough marriage time before kids though. I miss our couple only years.

Children are the massive change that hits the marriage.

Youngest is 9 years old....I have a few years to get through yet to spend quality couple time again LOL!

Just picked up the wedding rings last week. I also had to try mine on for size for a week or so. For a guy who's not spiritual and thought weddings were unnecessary, I am warming up to the idea. Well, not marriage necessarily but being committed to your partner. I don't think life will change too much. Main thing will be having an extra £1,000+ in the bank every month as we will no longer be saving for the wedding.

Biggest change is that we will be trying for children.

There goes that £1000 a month.
