What was the best advice you got about marriage?

What advice would you give to other married couples or people about to get married?

*****************************************************************

Don't go to bed angry. I also read the other day a couple married for 50 years said it doesnt mean you have to make up that night, but just dont go to bed angry. try to put that anger aside to kiss goodnight or say I love you and then solve the problem the next day. I like that because DH is the type that needs his space sometimes to cool off and not talk about it right away, and i cant sleep when we are fighting, but at least if we just kiss and say i love you, I think i'd feel better about waiting to solve it the next day.

Be polite to each other. I try to always thank my husband when he cooks or cleans. He usually does the same.

Not to talk bad about each other to other people. I hate when couples talk shitt about their spouse, even if it's joking. I think it's disrespectful. A couple we know who have been married for years said it just keeps getting better when it;s the right person. I loved that because so many married people make jokes about being married and sound bitter towards the other person.


My advice would be to not tell your friends and family about your fights and keep it between you and hubby.

And to always remember what made you fall in love in the first place.

To always put the other person first and to put 100% into your marriage.

To always kiss, hug, cuddle, hold hands and show affection through the years.

The best advice we got something you mentioned. It was not to go to bed angry. It doesn't solve anything.

I feel like since we have been married DH has been saying Please and Thank you a lot more. I say it for everything, maybe I am just rubbing off on him. Who knows? lol

Also, we keep our fights between us. I don't bad mouth DH to my girlfriends or my mother because I would not want them to dislike him. I don't have anything bad to say about him anyway, but if we got into a fight I wouldn't run to my girlfriends and say 'Oh stupid DH did this, this, and that.

When DH and I get into a fight (let's be honest to does happen to everyone) we give each other our space for a little while and then a little while later we talk about it. He says what he wants and then I say what I want and we go from there.

COMMUNICATION IS SO IMPORTANT!

Best advice I ever got about marriage was *I think* from the Dr. Phil show. He said that when fighting, keep to the topic at hand, don't fight about one thing and bring up other fights you might have had. And always keep it respectful, never get into personal attacks.

Someone told me.. .that at times couples will treat a stranger at the bank better than their spouse. With day to day frustrations it is often your husband or wife who gets the brunt of it. They said be aware of this and do everything you can to not let it happen.
