After 8 years of ups and downs, in and outs. Of loving each other and not always liking each others, we finally got married. I am telling you it's a whole new world. I just feel so good finally saying he is my Husband. It was a simple wedding at city all with only our close family and one friend. My question to you mylotters is this... When you got married, do you think your relationship got stronger? I feel like know we are much closer. We talk more and laugh alot. I feel different. I feel settled and comfortable. What's your take on this topic?

Congratulations to you.. I have never been married, i'm still too young for that. But when my parents married, they felt the same thing.. they were so happy. I hope you stay together forever and your marriage becomes stronger as the years go by.

Congratulations! That's exactly the right words "settled and comfortable" That only means, you now have the right to call her your "husband" with all legalities. You feel settled and secure that, he is yours after 8 long years. More blessed years to come

first, I would like to congratulate you and your husband. I am getting married in less than a month now and I'm pretty much excited about it. I don't have any answer to your question yet but I think the change differs for every married couple. It depends on them to make or break the marriage. Lucky for you it made your relationship stronger. I think maybe because you really love each other and you already have settled your differences before marriage making you more close to each other after the wedding....

wedding, it's like the beginning of your common road, I congratulate you, of course, but I know from experience that, unfortunately, not always so sweet and wonderful as poczatku.Wielu now friends advise ye always talked and explained the misunderstanding, but sometimes some things are better left unsaid, pomilczec a time and quietly reflect on solution.

Having a partner you can talk to about anything is very important. knowing you are not responsible for how they react to your truth is important too. it's not your job to make the other happy. but to be happy with who you are and share that with your partner

Congratulation on your marriage. I believe that it does make the relationship stronger. When I just got married, I felt the same way you did and I still do. I love saying my husband and I feel more closer to him now more than ever before.

We did the same thing. I did feel more comfortable. I don't know that much changed between us, it was more just the idea.

We got married in AZ where we lived, with borrowed witnesses, since we had no friends in the area. No family either. Not sure if getting married changed anything, because the richer, poorer, better, wirse, sickness, health stuff was all tested before, and I think THAT was what strengthened us most. The nice thing for us was having our commitment on paper. Congratulations!!!

Congrats! IDK I think we were alot closer when we were dating and first married. It's harder when you work different schedules and have to juggle the schedules of a few kids.

We have been together 8 years and I think for us we have become so much closer since we finally tied the knot. Because of his new job we don't spend that time together that we use too. Now he works on the weekends and i look forward to that time to myself. When we do spend some us time together we really enjoy it so much more!

I don't fear anything or anyone. I have loving respect for God and my husband. I see God when I look at my husband and he see's God when he looks at me. When you live in fear life becomes a scary place. Live in love of God and you will see all the beauty of the world

I wish your happiness, my friend. Better to have faith both of you or a religion that really teach you on how to stayed and having great fear of God. That will help for any spouse to stay a long lasting relationship...

Anyway congrats for having a good life with your husband. May god bless you to live longer with all the blessings. I would like to have my marriage when i have a stronger bond with my partner. So that we don't have any misunderstanding between each of us. Thus life becomes little easy.

there are always going to be misunderstandings and disagreements. tha'ts all apart of life and growing as people. It's how all about listening to each other and knowing that no matter what, you will also love and support each other. Thank you my friend!!

One of the surprising joys of having a wedding and the planning that goes with it, is that when it is over, you and your spouse are just glad to be together, and married. Congrats to you and yours. I kept watching for my invite, but it never came. Marriage is a very special blessing and opportunity. Make the most of it and strive to do thing right. It will pay off for many years to come.

Congratulations :) Have a nice life together. I've never been married so I can only guess about it. I think it depends on the relationship before marriage, if it comes from a long relationship I don't think that the relationship changes since the relationship already gets strong enough, but when it comes to a shorter relationship I think that the marriage helps it get stronger.
