FASS for FREE Festivities! (Ends: February 28, 2010)

[Harlacher]

Remember, that your wife, first and foremost, is your best friend. Men never take their friends for granted, but we never seem to mind, taking wives for granted. Don't treat her like a "wife" treat her like you want her to respect you, trust you, and cover your back. You know, like you would your very best friend. Three Divorces, if I had remembered this I would not have any.

I have been married for 36 years and I find communications to be key, out drinking with the boys all the time will not be a good idea. Also remove mine and yours from the english dictionary. Good luck and remember talking is key.

 

[grbow]

Take as good a care of your wife as you do your truck and all will be well

 

[P Rakoske]

Congratulations to you all! There is a lot of good advice here for you to ponder. I think it all boils down to " IF MAMA AIN'T HAPPY... ... ... . NOBODY HAPPY" marriage is a daily work in progress. Don't ever take your spouse for granted.

 

[cvincent]

Good luck... . Always be honest even if it hurts!!

Newly Weds

Simple, keep her pregnant in the summer and barefoot in the winter.

 

[DBray]

Communicate, don't ever raise your voice, and don't make decisions (like buying truck accessories... ) without first consulting your other half!

 

[AMcGinnis]

CONGRATS GUYS!!! I'm with JDiehl remember those dates, because SHE will. Take the time to make them special days for her. COOK her a DINNER or go on a date night as the years pass you will continue to grow closer.

 

[Peach]

After 46 years, I don't have any real advice--you need to find what works for you. Good luck.

 

[SmokinOilBurner]

Make her feel beautiful everyday. Get a spare TV so you can watch the game because inevatably some meaningless girly program will be on and you will be out of luck. Many women cannot handle any criticism as all. What you think is and may be a simple suggestion will undoubtly taken as criticism. Keep your mouth shut. Gentle persuasion. Let her think it was her idea.

Advice, are you kidding me? I just got married last year and I am still trying to figure this out. Actually, I just read all 11 pages to hopefully pick up a tip or two.



One thing that someone told me right before I was married was to always fight naked! This keeps each of you from running out of the house to avoid the discussion and most often leads to make-up sex at the end of the argument. :-laf



Good Luck Guys!



PS: I need a FASS

Women are wired completely different from men. That's why you will never think the same. If you both understand that it will make things much easier.

Ralph Cramden

No matter what situation you find yourself in, just ask yourself, "What would Ralph Cramden do?" Just one caution - the correct answer to that question always comes at the end of the episode, not the middle.

 

[EBolgiano]

The key to happiness in marriage as well as in life is really quite simple: To thine own self be true! Good Luck, Ed B

How to stay married

The best tip I can give you to keep and/or stay married is to never go to bed mad at each other. My folks told me this over 30 yrs ago. They were married 52 years and it has worked for us the last 38. Sleeping (if you can) does not solve problems. The issues are still there the next Good luck.

 

[arnejake]

Do not let the softness in your voice pass away with time and be sure to court your BRIDE as you did in the dating days. It has worked for me for 47 years. Also understand that we are made different and there will be some impossible days but they will pass just remain loving. Best of luck !

I am just a retired old Sailor. Marriage #1&2 ended in divorce, Marriage #3 sadly ended with the death of my wonderful wife, Marriage #4 is in process... ... . I have discovered 2 different approaches to most situations involving a disagreement with the Wifey. Choice #1: "I'm sorry, My Fault, I forgot you are an Idiot!". Choice #2: Walk up to her without saying a word... . wrap your arms around her and give her a big - long Smoooooch! Since you are intelligent folks... you choose the best approach.

I have been married 20 years, and I have a few random thoughts.

Your wife should be your new best friend.

Love is a decision, it is not always easy, you may at times want to give up, but you are building a home together.

This I read in the Bible but learned from my parents and grandparents,

You are the head of the house, but love your wife more than yourself, Keep your eyes on God and lead your family in the right direction. Start your marriage equally yoked.

This I am trying to teach my son, from my mistakes, You can't buy everything you want, when you want it. Money is hard to get, don't waste it.

I have learned to help around the house, not just the yard work. Share the load if your wife works. JC
