How do you feel after marriage?

People have stopped asking me how I feel now that I am married. I guess they think, "Oh the poor bastid has been married for 16 months (hit that mark yesterday) now. I am sure he has made his peace with it by now". Funnily enough, I think only now, I am starting to feel like I am married. Finally sinking in, that supposedly scary fact that. Not that its a bad thing. OK, let me explain.

When you are going out with someone and not living in with that person, you will have to plan doing things together. When you are married, you pretty much can do things with a lot less advanced notice. You can plan to do more things than you would normally do. You have someone staying with you most of the times (note: this is not as bad as it sounds) because of which there is one person who has a very good context of what the heck is going on with your life. Its easier to talk, crib, bitch, admire, randomly talk about most things with this person.

I think marriage on the whole is a net positive thing and people should try giving it a shot. Irrespective of what happens, you will find it to be an experience!

Back to my original point on how people do not ask me that question anymore. Instead of a fake smile, canned answer and felling annoyed within, I would be able to give a lot more thought out answer which is at least some what insightful and meaningful. Or may be that's why they don't anymore. Hmmm.
