For me the change was an immediate “us against the world” mentality. A sense of all around security and safety. Mind and body, we loved each other, and would protect each other. The commitment was made, joined two families and it was a statement to everyone and ourselves that this was it. Our choice to truly combine hearts, lives, bank accounts, etc. Things became OURS instead of his and mine. Goals were set and you strive for them together. I liked what I saw someone else say “it’s the difference between renting a house and owning a house.”
