"So, how's married life?"

When you get married, you gain so many things:

1. A lifelong partner.
2. The assurance that someone will always be there for you, whether or not you want them to me.
3. At least twice the laundry and dishes that you used to have.

However, you also lose some things:

1. Privacy.
2. Privacy.
3. Privacy.

Not only are you sharing all of your space with another person, but people seem to think that it is acceptable to ask you about your marriage, sex life, and home business. After you get married, people stop asking, "Hey! How are you?" Instead, they'll ask, "Hey! How's married life?" I love answering that question... but it's so hard to answer when someone is rushing down the hallway or across the campus yard.

I've also found that lots of people don't actually want to know the real answer. They want to hear, "It's great! So fun! Cupcakes and rainbows and puppies."

Marriage is not cupcakes and rainbows and puppies.

I've thought and thought about how to describe marriage, but I can't.

Fortunately, Someecards has been able to describe marriage perfectly. I'll stop rambling now and leave you with a few snippets of real marriage.
