Brilliant.

So, although I'm still new to this (not yet broken the 2 month boundary), there are some things I've learned about marriage.

Plus:

• automatic date for events short of the really wild gender-specific ones
  
• eventual fading of the internal "who likes me?" voice in the coupley sense
• friends with benefits. or I suppose spouse with benefits
• partner for the hard stuff in life (and the good stuff=)
  
• snuggle buddy for movies and lazy Sundays
  
• *unconditional love and mush and stuff
  

Questionable: (not necessarily bad! just different)

• another person to schedule/plan around- emotions, ideas, careers
  
• learning to communicate, live, be around another person a lot
• legal/logistical stuff- insurance, taxes, records, bank accounts
  
• an additional extended family
  

I think I've managed to effectively void most of the immediately visible pluses by living across the country. Why was that a good idea?
