Do you have any good advice for a newlywed couple?

I'm getting married this summer and was wondering if anyone had any good advice to share? Is there anything that you wish that you would have known or been told before getting married?


We will be moving in together after we are married. Neither one of us has lived with a member of the opposite sex before. We haven't been married either and we haven't had sex with one another.Do you have any good advice for a newlywed couple?
Well, first off let me say good job on waiting on each other until marriage, and couples that live together before marriage are more likely to be divorced. I think these are some good tips





- Patience is a virtue


- Money does not buy happinness - although it helps a lot.


- Routine will make the marriage dull and boring


- Sex should get better not worst. It is not a job or a drag.


- Compromise. Happy Medium.


- You will never cook as good as his mother.


- You are not his mother.


- Both of you need a little space - alone time.


- Both of you need to keep your friends.


- Have a guys night out or a girls night out, at least once every month.


- Play with each other.


- Hold hands.


- Cook together.


- If one cooks, the other cleans the dishes.


- If he is ranting and screaming because he misplaced the keys or the remote, leave him be. He will calm down eventuallly (usually within five minutes).


- Travel during your vacations.


- Watch sports. Make him watch a chick flick for every two hours of sports you watch.


- Past lovers and girlfriends are in the PAST.


- Both of your families will try to give you advice and opinions take the ones you need, forget the other ones.


- When kids arrive, do not argue in front of them





Its simple. Just love each other. There should be no doubt in your mind if this person is the one for you, and i believe that is why a lot of marriages do not last because they have doubts (many friends of mine, male and female, have had their doubts even on their wedding day and still went through with it, and are now divorced). Make each other top priority, and treat each day like it is your last day with each other. Good luck to you. In my opinion it sounds like you are off to a good start.Do you have any good advice for a newlywed couple?
I'd advise that you do all the things you've been waiting to do before you get married. How are you planning on spending the rest of your life with someone you know nothing about? Dating someone and living with them are two completely things. The sex thing is between you and him, but I personally would never have married my husband without sleeping with him first. I know people say sex is overrated, but it really does affect your marriage. You're essentially binding yourself to a life you know nothing about. I assume the reason you've waited on everything is due to some sort of religion, but just consider testing out the living together thing and the sex thing before you get married.
Heck yeah..there are a lot of things-The whole sex thing I wish someone had talked to me about. The only advice I can give is that most of your arguments will be centered around just two issues: Sex and money...either you will argue about lack of sex or someone wanting it to much. The same thing with money lack of or someone is spending to much. Trust me if you can some how get those two issues straightened out before you go to the altar you will avoid some problems. I would definitely (if your religion allows) go to a pre-marriage counselor.
I am most impressed with the two of you, your standards %26amp; the way you have conducted your lives in such a disposable %26amp; self-seeking society that we've become. You stand heads %26amp; shoulders among those around you.


You are being given the opportunity to learn about each other from each other.





Of course you know that marriage takes love, patience, forgiveness, understanding, %26amp; humor. There are things you will find out about your mate and yourself that you don't know anything about right now. You need to stay flexible.





The best advice I can give you is to make sure you keep God in your lives. And believe me there's enough out there to take you in all different directions. But I promise you, that if you keep God number one, your love will grow deeper between you for all those years you have promised. Without Him some may luck-out but without Him, you are guaranteed failure.
Be patient with each other, communicate, listen to each other, don't let little things get to you, you are not perfect and neither is your spouse, most of all ENJOY each other!
Well that's most unusual and sorry to say it but chances are you'll be seperated pretty soon after the wedding.
Have sex. Lots of it. ;)
You've come to the right place. Walk this way while I tell you my thoughts about marriage...
