Oh, the joys of being a Newlywed...a semi vent

Sooo...how's married life?

I’ve been asked that at least twice a day.
For the past 3 months.
By the same handful of people.

I know they think they are being ohsofunny. But they aren’t. Not even one tiny little bit.

Seriously, do they really think my answer is going to change hour-by-hour, day-by-day? Sometimes, I want to make it exciting for them and answer that married life sucks. That I absolutely hate it. But I just can’t do it because married life is, in fact, quite wonderful.

The thing is, though, non-married life was quite wonderful as well so what’s the difference? Every time I’m asked, I respond that it’s the same as before we were married, but I’m left wondering, is it supposed to be different?

Are we supposed to turn into the old married couple that does nothing but bicker?
Is the pretty, new ring on my finger supposed change our relationship completely?

The way I see it, our relationship is exactly the same as it was before marriage.
Except now, we are in this together.
Through the ups and downs.
Forever.
