I had to create an exclusive post on this as I have been confronted with this question atleast close to a thousand odd times over these past three months.
I would really love to hear what other married folks would answer when thrown this question at them. In the initial days, it used to be fun to answer this question and I tried to give different answers(sometimes funny ones) to folks. But after a while, I really ran out of options and just started saying "Itz fine!". The first few seconds of exchanging your handshakes when running into any of my friends, acquaintances, relatives or colleagues has resulted so much in a stereo typed conversation that I sometimes do pre-preempt their question; "Marriage life is good". And now, I am thinking my answer should be different.
Married life does not leave one to grapple with the Herculean task of becoming a couple. If left to its own way, I guess life should not be any different from what it was pre marriage. Yes, you have another person sharing everything(or should I say almost everything?) in your life, but you still get to do things you have always been doing and living life in the way that you have always been living. Marriage has its one fringe benefits but does not take away your existing ones at all.
So after beating around the bush for a while, my answer to the question will henceforth be "Life after marriage is as good as it had always been" I am sure all married folks will concur

Hmmm... I see...
I am not sure if all of them will concur ... like the gentleman you met today who has lost all privileges to "drink" :-)
Oh! but I thought it was only lost almost completely! Isn't there a small ray of hope for the poor soul?
Hmm, from you .. I would have expected something romantic like ...
"My joy has doubled and my sorrow has halved" :)
No hope for him :-)
I guess he gets to sniff at coke when there are visitors ;-) >:-)
Ok , ok , I am going overboard with the descriptions ! But severe restrictions would be to put it aptly
That is a wonderful reply. Life does not change drastically after marriage. It remains as good as it was before that. Nice to see more people having the same thought in contrast to the regular feeling that freedom is lost after marriage.
