What changes when you get married?

My fiancé and I are getting married next year, can we expect anything to change once we get married? Except my surname of course, we do already live together.

Everything changes! I mean you don’t become different people, but marriage changes the whole dynamic because you are tied together legally. First, congratulations! Second, when things get challenging, try to remember how you feel for him on your wedding day.

What in particular changes, I just can’t imagine it now?

@Katie-adeline98 it’s one thing when you are boyfriend/girlfriend, or engaged. One day you are going to be sitting there and it’s going to hit you that “OMG, we are legally together.” I mean as far as day to day stuff, it doesn’t really change.

A lot of things change. I honestly don’t think there’s benefits to it. After a while you just become like roommates. You still do things like go out, but I’m always working. She stays home takes care of the house. She doesn’t swallow anymore. He probably won’t do everything he used to do like flowers, dates, etc. You’ll probably complain more, question whether he still loves you or not when he doesn’t pay as much attention to you as he used to. A lot changes trust me.

People get more relaxed, settled, and in an everyday pattern. Excitement is different than when dating. Some like it better and some do not.

Well if you haven’t lived together yet you get to put up with one another all the time now !
