Advice for a long relationship

All I can say is don't put anything over her. Always be there for her. And try to keep the romance going. Marriage takes a real effort. And don't win every argument!

Good luck.

Much good adive has been given here, I have been married to the same beautiful woman for twenty five years. I will offer this, You are never right and seh is never wrong. additionally there are two sides to every arguement, hers and her mothers.

Let's see... .

Okay, you have to figure it out yourselves. You are a team, a pair, and a couple. Enjoy each other and do not remember any of the bad stuff, at least never bring it up. Almost 42 years (March). I developed "selective" hearing about 40 years ago.

I could use a FASS.

This goes to both parties in each couple MAN UP if your wrong then admit it. Being married is forever and absolutely none of us are perfect so we do tend to be wrong on occasion. Basically honesty is the only way to be... .

Congratulations

Remember that your lady (heck, a guy, also) enjoys being complemented. Learn the habit of giving sincere complements for the little and big things she does--You look GREAT in that outfit dear... Thanks for that wonderful meal, I really loved it... Thanks for helping me: change the engine... brakes... headlight, wash the truck, etc. Remember the song "Have I told you lately that I Love You" (it's an oldie--I remember the Gene Autry version)--follow it's advice and tell her, preferably at least once a day that you love her and mean it. Buy flowers "Just Because" on days that are not special. Women love to receive unexpected flowers "just because" you love her. I have followed these guides and I have been happily married for 43 years.

[Doubleclutch]

Congrats guys!



Lots of good advice here. Let me add my comments to the list:



Always treat each other with respect- even when opinions differ.

Put the toilet seat down. Insist that SHE does too! (most lids have two parts!)

Use Vaseline as a sexual aid: Put it on the bedroom doorknob once you have kids.

As Confucius once said: "Man who fight with woman all day, have no peace at night".



Good luck and enjoy each others company.

Marriage is a lot like life: it will forever change. Sometimes it'll be peachy, and sometimes it'll be the pits. When your marriage serves up roses and other pretty flowers, make a nice floral arrangement for yourselves to enjoy. When your marriage serves up lemons, make a pitcher of lemonade to quench your thirsts. And when your marriage dumps (manure) on y'all, fertilize the garden. When it's peachy, make peach cobbler, peach preserves, and peaches & cream. When it's the pits, plant new peach trees in the garden.

I dont have any good advice being single right now but good luck to all of you and all the best in the future

Don't forget to be friends. Never assume that your companion knows how you feel or that they do not want to hear about your day.



Find a good church and put the foundation of faith under your marriage.

Congratulations! Learn to share the remote.

 

[longhaul]

Remember the MAN makes all the big decisions and the Woman takes care of the house and handles the lessor (small) decisions. My wife told me that before we got married 35 years ago. Lucky for me, ---There has not been one single" BIG "decision to make in all those 35 years!

Oh Yeah! Keep a sense of humor!!

Congratulations and Good Luck!
