The question of the month

"Does it feel diffrent being married?"

I think I've been asked that question more than a dozen times. I can't remember ever asking any of my recently married friends that question. And, being that Chad and I have been together for four years and we've lived together for two of those years, my automatic response is always, "things are great, but nothing has changed." I was asked that same question again today, and instead of my normal response, I really thought about the question. I soon came to the realization that something has changed between Chad and I. I can't put my finger on exactly what it is, but something about saying, "I do" does intensify your relationship. I know that's the point of marriage but it's hard to discribe what actually changes between a couple. A greater respect? A deeper love? All of the above...

Whatever it is, I LOVE being married and I couldn't ask for a better man to spend the rest of my life with. So, I guess what I am trying to get at is, thank you to the more than a dozen people, who forced me to STOP and THINK!
