Life After the Wedding is life

I always feel awkward when people ask me how married life is, because the truth is, it doesn't feel much different.  We lived together before we got married, so other than being legally and sacredly bound together for eternity, the only thing that has changed is that my husband says "no" to me more often now.  "Wanna go to the Dodger game with our friends?" "No, baseball is boring." "Wanna go hiking?" "Today? No, I've got ten hours of cycling to watch."  Whereas, before being married, I could pretty much plan anything and he'd come along.  I guess now he knows for sure I'm not going anywhere so he doesn't have to do everything I say.  This must be in some ways how parents feel about their teenagers.  Still, it wasn't like once the vows were said, that I knew we were eternally committed to each other.  I knew that when we decided we wanted to marry each other.
