Celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary last month. We've been together 8 years.

And she hasn't killed you yet for postponing the wedding?

She wants me to finish school.  I hate school.  It might not be worse than snipers, but it's definitely worse than rocket attacks.

Fifteen years with the same girlfriend - far too many of those years long distance. She was actually closer when she was going to school in Vermont than she is now, living in Maine - the same state that I live in. For New England Maine is BIG. The house that she was living in last year would have been shown in the book One Morning in Maine had it been old enough, but you do get to see where the house was later built.  Cheesy

Long distance is great for sniping, teh suxz0r for relationships.

Aaahh, Maine. 90% trees, 10% lobster.  I'm from the sane part of New England (AKA, Southern New Hampshire).

Been together 8 years, but never got around to getting married.

Personally I don't see the point - however we do intend to, probably when our daughter's old enough to be a proper bridesmaid.

I lived with a couple different women (at different times, of course), including my wife, before getting married. My general attitude was always that marriage would be no different than cohabitation. I was wrong.

I can't explain how, but getting married caused a significant (and positive) shift in our relationship. This wasn't a gradual thing either; the day after the wedding was different than the day before the wedding.

I agree. Well, the day after isn't fair, becuase of hte honeymoon and all (of course being at Disneyworld was different than being at home) but yeah, things were very different very fast. And very good for a long time.
I'd say I was married happily for 13 years. (I was married 15 years...year 7 and year 15 were bad. All the rest were great.)

Part of it is attitude, belief and all. How much significance you attach to it, and I attached quite a bit. I'm sure it's different for different people. For some I would imagine they wouldn't feel different. I sort of expected a difference and so i felt one (though not exactly as anticipated.).
