Now that you are living with your spouse. Do you miss being single and not having to tell anyone and hanging out with your girls or you guy friends whenver? Or do you like the warmth of a body next to you every night and sharing each other's money? Let me know what you think.

I liked your phrase - "the warmth of a body next to you"... That's what I was thinking about last night, when I was falling asleep. Yes, I do like it. I wouldn't like to be single again, and I don't miss my previous life. I don't feel I'm so attached to my husband and to my everyday responsibilities at home that I want to quit it and to live a single life again. No, I want to keep my married life alive and to enjoy it every minute of my life.

I am only a few months into my marriage, and I must admit, there are a still a few times here an there when I want to go to clubs and dance the night away with my single girl friends. My husband always encourages me to still keep in contact and hang out with them, but if there were a choice to make, I choose my husband every time. My husband is my best friend and my lover. I have more in common with him than with my single girl friends, and I have always had better conversations with him. I love being married and the married life. We are both adjusting really well to it, in my opinion. I do love having the warmth of his body next to me when I sleep. I feel so much happier when he's with me, and he makes me feel safe. And, I really don't mind sharing money. Most of it goes toward paying bills anyway. I wouldn't have it any other way.

I love being married and I have to say it certainly isn't for the money. Since my husband is one of the friends that I used to hang out with, it hasn't affected my social life a whole lot. There is a kind of security in having someone to tell when you are going out, and it's certainly nice to have someone to come home to after being out.

To be honest I hate being married if I knowen i would feel how i do would not how done it I liked living with him he seemed to be more equals than now everything has to be discussed it like living with parents again now that I am starting to work its good because I have some money of my own we do not have a joint account so i always had to ask for money before which did not make me feel good. And if we have a big argument I did not feel like whats giong to happen now. What I miss most about being single is the excitment of meet new guys anf then going on a date but you get there early and have to wait on them you thinking will they show up or not, I like to flirt still when i am out and after our last night out he better look out next time.

I love being married. Yes life changes when you get married, esp if you already have kids. But as long as you love every little thing to do you'll just love the changes too... i think in this life whether you are married or not it doesnt matter as long as you want and love all the things that you do =) then you'll surely be contented, aight?
