In my last post I had mentioned that I got married on February 22nd and it has been a month and 11 days. In these many days I have had many ask me, "so, how is married life ?" Of course, I smiled and let it pass, but this has gotten me thinking...
For somebody like the two of us, who have been in a relationship for the last ten years what changes now?
we have seen each other through thick and thin
we planned and lived every day like we would have if we were a married couple
we still occasionally call each other with a 'da' and a 'di' (it spices up your conversation, you should try it)
we still surprise each other at times by the way we react to new situations, but have learned to accept it
we still treasure every moment we spend with each other
Even today our eyes sparkle when we see each other, like it is our very first time
At this point I am sure, a married veteran might say, "let me hear you say this after another ten years at the most".. well time will tell...
Yes, what has changed is that our family has grown... For me, what used to be a family consisting of my parents, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, now includes my husband's too. With all of this comes the responsibility of keeping up these relationships, and not losing ones ties.
Having lived together for so many years, we have respected our tradition and our parents trust.. of course now bordering and in our 30's we can begin to consider raising our own family in the future..
So, being married hasn't really changed the relationship we share or the regard we hold for each other. Marriage has only been the means to bring two families closer, and to sanctify in society what we hold so dear, US.
