Got married in October, was together 4 years prior. Nothing changed for me after marriage, shit was good before and it's good now. We just put rules in place before hand to make sure it goes smooth. We have no debt, except house payment, and we put an extra $1,000 a month on that so it will be paid off early. From what I have seen, debt and lack of money are the killers of relationships, and I want to do everything possible to control that. Control the controlables, and everything else is cake.
