How long did it take?

[LiberatedChick]

Just wondering. When you were newly married how long did it take for it to sink in that you were now married?

 

[GirlieGirl]

It' still sinking in. Sometimes I wonder "Who is that man wondering around my house in a towel?" But it's a good kind of wondering

 

[selune]

It's felt "right" since before we actually married. I can't think of life without my hunny.

Well now, I have been married 1 year and 5 days and I STILL have moments when I look at my Dh and say 'wow, we're married!' I guess it took about 3 months to feel more normal (but then 90 days is the time it takes to make or break a habit apparantly!!) But i have moments when i look at him and think 'wow how did I get here, just 4 seconds ago I was that single girl wondering if God would ever bring me a hubby!'

Still waiting and we've been married a year and a half. I still look at him and tell him we're married. Then we grin and go... "be married."

Awww, this is a cute topic lol. I think about it from time to time about if it will sink into me fast when I marry. I think I will probably still be going "I'M MARRIED?!" the rest of my life lol. But it would be a good shock hehe. Oh by the way, yes I am not married. I just visit this forum because I am marriage minded and have a wonderfull gf whom I plan to marry when I am able to. She knows it too hehe.

 

[Why?]

For about the first 2-3 years sometimes when I'd refer to my husband I would giggle and go "I have a husband...". I do that to my sister now (who's 19 and got married last summer). "hehehe... you have a husband..."

It's been 7 years, now I feel like an old married woman...I'm thinking it actually took about a year...I remember it didn't take too long for me to get used to my "new" last name, but took me awhile to get used to referring to my DH as "husband" & was really strange hearing me referred to as his "wife"!! And hearing the "daughter-in-law" and "sister-in-law" thing, too....but even now, I have flashbacks of "weirdness".....like, "Wife? Who's that??"

Yep, same deal here. Marriage didn't have to "sink in" for me.

 

[LiberatedChick]

Well it's about time I wrote about my experience
For us it felt right before marriage and we were living together as if married (both non-Christian then) anyway so no major change there. So it was little things like the new name and being a "Mrs" and referring to him as my husband instead of my fiance. They took a month or two to get used to.

We lived together 4 months before we married, so he already felt like my husband.

My husband and I weren't christians and lived together 6 years before marriage, so it was pretty much the same, although its seven years since getting married now, and I still can't sign my last name right(haha)
In Him

We had a 2 year courtship before getting married... didn't live together... but it didn't take too long to sink in... I'd say about a month or so...

We've been married for a little over 12 years now and most of the time I still feel like a newly wed. I think it took a few days before signing my name with my married name felt natural, but I'd been so excited about getting married for the 10 months we were engaged that it sunk in pretty quickly. Even though we lived 600 miles apart until our wedding, we both felt kind of married already before we even got married.
