Talk to each other. Communication is always a big problem in any marriage.
If you both have busy lives, get a big calendar and write your schedules on it.
Never go to bed angry. If you do have a disagreement (and disagreements happen to everyone) try hard to talk about it and get things settled before you go to bed.
Tell her you love her every single day.

Congratulations! I do have some advice. Always give each other respect as well as love. Be patient with each other. Count to 10 before you get angry. Really listen when you each need to talk. Don’t talk over each other. After awhile people tend to “tune out” their spouse. Resist this. Give each other alone time, as well as together time. It’s worked for my husband and me (over 30 years so far).

honesty and communication and patience works for me and my hubby…When I get pissed off I try and count to 15 before I respond. It help me reevaluate the situation. Good Luck..the 1st 5 years are the hardest…Also if you have single friends, make sure they have good intentions when you go out with them. That goes for both of you sometimes misery loves company.

Congratulations!
The best advice that anyone can give you is to listen to each other! Communication is the key to any relationship, especially a marriage. You must also practice the “do unto others as you would have done to yourself” rule…meaning, don’t do anything to your spouse that you wouldn’t want her to do to you. Be considerate and compassionate. There will be hard times, but if you can talk about things and really listen to each other, you can get through anything. Lastly, keep the passion alive! Don’t lose that spark for one another. I say, take a really romantic vacation for at least 4 days once per year…even if you have to save up for it all year long! Good luck!

You will start to notice things about your spouse that are frustrating. Don’t point them out (unless it’s something dangerous or damaging to your relationship). I found myself pointing out everything my husband did that annoyed me (rinse your dishes, pick up your socks, don’t leave the sponge in the sink, etc…) No, those are not good traits, but they aren’t things that we should fight over. And as much as I love him, there are a MILLION things that he does that are just annoying and inconsiderate. I could have spent all day pointing out things I wished he did differently. I came to the point where I spent more time being frustrated and pointing out his (minor) mistakes. Which in turn frustrated him. I finally had to realize that I needed to let those things go. Think about what you criticize your wife for. It will make a big difference. Another thing, as a man, never stop letting your wife know how amazing you think she is. I’m sure you don’t intend to do that, but after years, you become comfortable and it’s easy to forget that she wants you to think she is amazingly beautiful. Tell her all the time, write her notes every now and then, bring her flowers. Treat her the way you did when you were still trying to win her heart. You’ll never lose it. Congratulations on your marriage!!!

The only person from now own you each should flirt with is each other…Try each day to say something wonderful to each other. Remember that all people married or not fight and disagree but the mature ones WORK it out….Love each other like today was your last day on earth….Remember that it takes work to stay together…Marriage is not disposable….

Honor and cherish each other. Think of the other person first. Don’t let pride get the best of you. Don’t put your selfish needs before your spouse. Don’t listen to what society says. Remember your vows, “til death do you part” (there weren’t any exceptions to that vow remember (although I do believe in the “3 A’s”, alcohol, abuse and addiction).

The fact you care is a good first step. Always keep that in focus. Communication is important. Remember that you married each other and not the extended family. In other words, keep the in-laws out of your business.

Communication between yourselves is important.Like if you,ve had a bad day your partner is willing to listen to you vent your anger.Or just normal conversation about every day subjects like news, weather,family etc.My husband and i have been married for 17 years and thats exactly what we do.But you both do need your time apart sometimes.Wether it be to just go for a walk or a night out.

OK, I got this from a book I read and I think would beifit every married couple. The 10 secrets to a happy Marriage:
God has you here to serve one another. Love acted out is serving.
2. Women need respect and nurturing. share a hobby–find something you can both do together.
3. laugh often
4. Be patient. Love crumbles quickly under the weight of un-met expectations
5. spend more time trying to fix yourself then your spouse.
6.Keep anger at bay, make it a point to forgive.
7. determine up front that divorce is not an option
8. Learn about love languages, they are: acts of service, time, physical touch, gifts, and words.
9. Words of affirmation are love languages for all men and women
10. Men are born to be leaders. He cannot lead unless she gives him the confidence to do so. If you love your Husband, build him up.

Commuication, talk about EVERYTHING, don’t bottle up feelings, talk about them when they bug you and be willing to listen to each other even about something you think is stupid because it could be very important to your spouse..
