Married Life

Yes I'm married for almost a month.  Been getting the same question (or similar variants) for countless times since I've married: What's the difference as a married man?  My answer is almost similar... nothing different.  Life goes on as normal.  I still need to work.  I still take care of my wife (previously my gf).  I still take care of my parents.  So what is different?

Perhaps it is really the mentality.  U marry a person to love her and take care of her.  Although we still do quarrel now and then (admittedly, the frequency of quarrels or arguments remained almost the same after we married... see I said there's no difference in married life), I make a more conscientious effort then before to ensure that we make up as soon as possible (once I regain my "sanity").

Do not have doubts over your choice of partner.  You chose her with your eyes open.  You know everything about her, including all the bad points.  By signing on the piece of paper (marriage certificate), you take her in as a whole package, including all the bad points.  In fact... maybe you love her for exactly those things.

So what else has changed? E.g. She has to address my parents Pa, Ma now... well she is still deciding anyway.  Typically my wife's cute nature: she is still thinking of what is the best term to address my parents by.  I usually address my parents as θ€ηˆΈθ€ε¨˜... too crude for my wife to address them that way I guess.

The other day went for a Pri Sch class outing.  1 of the classmates reminded me that I said I wanted my wife to be a homemaker and asked me if it still stands after I got married.  Yes, I still prefer my wife to fully devote her time for the house and family.  Leave the working and earning for the family to me...
