Marriage Changed Portia

Ellen Degeneres’s wife, actress Portia de Rossi, says that marriage has changed her life.
“Marriage is a different way of being together,” the actress told People.
“There’s a peace to [being married] and a sense of togetherness that we just didn’t have before. And I didn’t even realize it would change as much as it has, but it’s so lovely,” said the actress.
“It’s legal, and it’s real, so there’s that kind of formality to it that makes it very valid,” added de Rossi. “I think the emotions that went with that as a gay woman kind of surprised me – that I would be that relieved to have my mother be present at the ceremony to bless the union, and to call [Ellen] her daughter-in-law.”
The actress said she’s also emerged as a more confident woman in recent years, both in her life and her career. “It’s so important to live an honest, open life and I didn’t really realize that until I started doing it,” she said.
“Every day of our lives is a protest against the passing of Prop 8,” she adds. “We’re a happily married couple. It was kind of devastating, actually, when it passed.”
One element of their post-wedding life de Rossi isn’t looking forward to is taking the hot seat as a guest on DeGeneres’s daytime talk show, which she will “unfortunately” do to promote her new series. Source
