The first is still somewhat of a novelty, there's still that newlywed glow. And the level of... patience(?) is higher. After that first year you realize that marriage is more day to day life than honeymoons, weekend getaways and housewarming gifts. It's learning to embrace the clipping of toenails on the bed and the other quarks your significant other may have. You know, the ones that you were maybe too dazzled by newlywed life to really notice in the first year. It's also when you really start to realize that you need to create your own new excitement to keep things fresh in the relationship. Anyway, that's my experience.
