How's Married Life?
I have to say, I get this question a lot. People want to know how things are going in the newest Collins household. It's a fair question. So here is my official press release and if anyone asks me, I can refer them here.
I feel this strange sense of being legitimized. Now, previously I didn't care too much about what our elders thought. I don't mean that as an insult, but in a way that kids don't often listen to their parents. There are too many generational differences and it is easy to blame their opinions on this. Now, I feel this great sense of, well, being legitimate. And all you sinners out there shall now be judged by me. I kid, I kid, of course. I will leave the judging to God.
Not much has really changed between Carrie and me. We had made our committment to each other a long time ago, but being married has now allowed us the freedom to plan for the future. We have always left these things to their time and place and are celebrating that we can plan now. Day-to-day things are going pretty much as before (psst... although Carrie has changed a bit).
In Korea, when a woman gets married she undergoes a big change. She goes from the quiet, sensitive, insecure Asian schoolgirl we all have come across, into a bold, loud, strong adjumma. I wouldn't say that Carrie has changed quite that much, but I think it is fair to say she is getting more bold. She told be the other day (picture this) that she came to a four way stop and someone tried to skip a turn. She cut the person off, honked her horn and shook her fist. You be the judge of that. I like having a woman like that for a wife.
So, in short, married life is good. You should do it. Or continue doing it. Or get back to doing it. Or think about doing it. Or do it again. Because everybody's doing it.
