I've been married for 8 months already. I can say that I and my husband is on avery tough adjustment stage. I can't say that I'm that happy or contented as the of the moment. 'Hope to be in that marriage bliss soon.

We haven't hit no real rough spots yet and we been married 9 years. We can have a tiff going to the store and holding hands when we get out of the car. lifes to short to not be happy. Really was no adjustment for us. I met him on the internet and after 2 and half to 3 years we met in real life and when he got out of his truck it was like he was on vacation and was finally home to be with me and everything has been like it should. Has it been perfect nah but love gets us through everything... Cuz hims my baby woot woot. smiles. Congrats on your marriage hon and yes it will get better.

You should still be happy. You are still in the honeymoon stage. My husband and I didn't have our first big fight until we had been married about 18 months. I am wondering how old you are and how long you two thought about getting married before doing it. My husband and I had been dating for three years before we thought about getting married and another three before we actually did. Now almost 20 years later we are as happy as we could be.

I lived with my husband for two years before we got married, so we're already adjusted.

I can't say how long my adjustment stage was -- I think I am still adjusting. My husband I dated for 2 years before we lived together, then lived together nearly 5 years before we got married - we have now been married for almost 6 years. We are constantly adjusting -- first it was a change in jobs then a new house and a baby and then another baby and another change in jobs. Just when it seems like we are in the bliss stage something pops up and we are adjusting again -- and usually I dont even really realize that we were there until we aren't there anymore. Your always going to be going up or down, so instead of waiting for marital bliss act like you are head over heals in love and as happy as you can be, and pretty soon you wont have to act anymore.

I think it is a lifetime adjustment, thus it will give u headache from time to time even for so many years your been together. But the hardest year for the wife is the first 2 years. So even if ur marriage has lasted the test of time, as a wife, be ready to expect and adjust to any unexpected discovery about ur husband in ur everyday life.

I think it all depends on how long you were together before you got married. I have been married for a year and five months. My husband and dated for four years before we got married. They say the first year is rough but I think all marriages have their moments you just have to know to get past them.
