I've also said this to many people, and typically no one seems to understand. It's like they think marriage is some magical thing which allows you to see everything differently, or they think it's the worst mistake you could make. Though, my wife and I dated for just over 6 years and have been married for about a year and a half, so like you, nothing really changed... except we got a rings and her last name changed. Incidentally, once you get really used to it you won't realize you have it on, but you'll know when you're not wearing it. It's weird. “Well… the same as it was before, but with a ring on.” I feel like you stole the words right out of my mouth. I’ve also said this to many people, and typically no one seems to understand.

It's not like one of you loves spending all day shopping for shoes while the other sits around drinking beer and watches ESPN all day. You're both (and this is coming from a fellow one, so no insult intended) nerdy and share in your nerdiness together (among other things I'm sure, I'm just going by what you put out there for the world to see). So yeah, there weren't any nasty habits that were kept secret suddenly coming up or major differences in opinion that you didn't already know about. You played it smart and got married knowing what you were getting into, as opposed to just saying, "Pretty lady! Let's get married!" after just meeting someone like (it seems) so many other people do. Divorce rates aren't high for nothing.
