Figure out some way to avoid sounding like an exhaust brake at night, before you get as old as I am. And, Viva la Difference!
 
Communication is key.



Be willing and open to talk, disscuss things, and comprimise... dont walk away from any disccusion or fight without a resolution, thinking that you are always right... the negative feelings and thoughts will just fester.



Good Luck!
 
Things to do every day of your lives: Tell her you love her (very important). Tell her she is the most important person in your life. Tell her she is beautiful. Give her a hug.

At least once a week do something for her she does not expect like the dishes, clean house, etc. , take her out to dinner at a nice place and tell her you want the world to see how great she looks in that little black dress or something like that.

NEVER bad mouth her family and friends. Pretend to listen to her when she tries to talk to you during you favorite TV program. Do not forget anniversaries, birthdays, etc. . A couple times a year send flowers when she doesn't expect anything. Do not ever yell at her or tell her she is stupid or anything like that, talk about issues after you calm down. I have learned these lessons the hard way. Rick
 
First off Congratulation's!!!! to you all.



I like to think I am one of a kind. . my advice is don't change and be yourself at all times. Don't pretend to be someone your not just to impress the lady's. I have been happily married for 20 years so far, can she say the same??? I doubt it hahahaha. I went through 4 new trucks to get the one I have now and wouldn't sell it for anything... well maybe a million dollars so I can buy a 2010 RAM. She put up with me doing that and paying $$$ I should have been saving. Say your prayers everyday, never go to bed or work angry at each other it will just make your day miserable. I guess that's about it,. .

I wish you all the best, good luck!!

marital advice

1. Leave the toilet seat down - always!

2. Whatever she tries on looks "great!"

3. Do dishes and housecleaning without being asked.
 
Advice includes, put the toilet seat down very important, if she falls in look out. So that she knows your are thinking of her by putting the seat down also put the lid down, she will really like that. Don't forget Valentines Day, don't ask me how I know that. Always, Always tell her that you love her, don't assume she knows what you are thinking no matter how obvious it should be. Also very important when you have kids always save some time for just the two of you. 37 years in March

Life is gonna' be good. You gotta' start with respect. Than you've gotta' teach the kids to show the same kind of respect. That is the key to a good start. If you're on the same page on things, it helps, but if not you need to learn it is ok to compromise. You are 2 people with one life you're sharing and bending in All matters, be it $ or parenting, or decorating someone will need to give once in a while. My wife has a stupid desk, but my lamp looks like a shock absorber!! OK. We agreed to give and take. Fresh Fruit baskets, Flowers (my wife likes one rose with baby's breath and a fern) neighbors flower bed, and dance to the music, even in the front room. Oh yeah, you will always have the last word, as long as it is "YES DEAR"------ Mike Matthews 2006, 3500 Turbo Diesel, 6 speed, Jake Brake, Hypertech 2nd program, with heavy duty twin disc noisy south bend clutch. Chrome Grill to keep from Moose damage in Ak. We love our truck---PS Never forget that you are now WE/US/OURS!!! This is a major ISSUE!!!!;);):eek::rolleyes:;): espically if you both work and have long hours. OURS counts, Forget about saying "I" unless you're doing something without her. It's WE!!!

Always give more than you expect, And don't say things in anger; because once said, it can never be taken back. Best wishes!
 
Just reading through quickly on lunch, but there are some good ones on here for sure. But not sure if this has been said.



Remember when you're married what is yours, becomes hers, and what's hers, is hers.



So be prepared for "our" truck.

Congratulations. I and my wife are going on 52 years this year. Keep constant communication. Watch finances. Don't spend more than you have at that time. Tell her that you love her often. Make it a real commitment to keep her happy at all times.

Hey guys,



Congratulations! The 1st thing that comes to my mind about maintaining a successful relationship with your wife is:COMMUNICATION, COMMUNICATION, COMMUNICATION! Remember to turn off the "hearing filters" that we all have when you are in a serious discussion with your wife. This will help you understand what she is really saying as opposed to what you think you are hearing. It also helps to have discussions when you are both calm and open to discussing things. Being too wound up (emotional) during serious conversations will often derail any progress you might hope to make.

Bottom line - Good Luck and enjoy the time you have together.
 
Advise to recently married and about to be.

Keep your mouth shut, don't disagree. Let your own preferences be secondary as long as you can and then get OUT!
