Advice for a newlywed?

We were just married on June 30th, and I was wondering if any of you had some jewels of wisdom to pass on to us - before we make any huge mistakes! Thanks in advance...Advice for a newlywed?
Have lots and lots of sex! Make sure you laugh more than you argue. And trust each other.Advice for a newlywed?
Respect love and communication are all very important.


Give 100%. Marriage isn't 50/50. If you only give 50% each you will undoubtedly fall short. whereas if you both give 100% you will be right :D


Try to meet each other's needs and be selfless. There will be times where one of you is more in love than the other or one is stronger than the other. In the end it will all balance out.


Love is wonderful!


The first year is the hardest but so worth it.
Congratulations. Your going to make mistakes and that is okay. Realizing that right now is the best thing both of you can do. Neither of you are perfect and loving each other through the faults brings you closer together anyway.





Communication is key. When communication breaks down or you assume the other person knows things that is the lead off to problems. It's better to let each other know what is upsetting you than let it build. Resentment will creep in and once that happens you are headed down a bad road. I once read that keeping things in and letting them build up to resentment is like swallowing poison and expecting the other person to die. I think that is true. Besides if you don't know something is wrong how can you work at it?





Keep on dating, even after you have kids getting out of the house together is important. Doesn't have to be a big expensive date. I remember when my husband and I first got married and were very young a trip to McDonalds to share fries was a splurge but important ;)





Remember to stay affectionate. Care for each other it's the little things that count, etc. It will not always be perfect. There will be ups and downs but the special thing about marriage is riding it out together.





Never threaten the ';D'; word or leaving unless you plan to follow through. Don't verbally abuse eachother, fight fair.





Remember life is serious have some fun together it doesn't have to end just because your no longer ';dating.';





Again Congratulations!
Don't give up. You will have fights and you will get angry and you will want to shoot each other at times, but don't give up. There is NOTHING that can happen between you two that you can't work out.
trust and pray only way to have a good marriage is gods way
Let him know each day that you admire him and the work he does to take care of you financially. Praise him often, build him up and remember -- you can't take back words said in anger.
Communication!!!!!!!! Mistakes are inevitable, but being able to talk and forgive will keep you going forever.

communicate!!! no assumptions!!!! no accusations!!! questions and answers only and it has to be mutually. jealousy will kill it.
NEVER go to bed angry with one another. ALWAYS say you love one another first thing in the morning and let it be the last thing you say to one another before going to sleep.
talk about everything.. even if it gets you/him upset.. it won't be as bad as holding it in! if he sucks at doing the dishes *(me and my new hubby just had this fight) TELL HIM instead of being upset you have to do them again LOL.. communication is GOLDEN. and always make up.. don't let things go.. figure out what the best solution and remember you are LEARNING to be married.. and most likely you are LEARNING to live together.. you're working out the kinks!
always put yourself in your spouses shoes.


Communicate- most important thing.


Don't argue over unimportant things - always ask a year from now will this matter.





Most importantly always let each other know you love and appreciate them.
Don't take anything too seriously, let the small stuff go. Accept each others faults and don't try to change each other.





OH, and there's ALWAYS time for lovin!
let the little things go....if he is bothering you, close your eyes and imagine throwing a rock into a still lake....watch the ripples until they disappear and never bring up the small thing that bothered you again....and when all else fails.....have sex
