My mom said these pieces of advice that I followed!
“Marry someone you are physically attracted to…it’s easier to stay mad at someone who you find unattractive”
“If you want to know how a man is going to treat his wife, watch how he treats his mother”
My mom was so right…I love my husband

Marriage counseling/classes prior to marriage. Learn what marriage is all about. Its not as easy as people make it out to be. It takes lots of work, effort, compromise and loads of other things to make it last forever.

Communication! Say it like it is, don’t hold anything back. If something upsets you, say it…if something makes you happy, say it. If you can’t live with or without something, say it….just TALK!!

Never marry someone that says they need you. Keeping someone happy 7-24 is a job no one can handle.

Get premarital counseling. Decide that divorce will never be an option (unless one of you cheats). Treat each other with love and kindness. Do not be bitter with one another.

Don’t sweat the small stuff.
Always remind eachother of your love for one another.
Keep the romance. It will take work, but in order to make it, you have to do this. I think what happens to alot of people is they get lazy in the relationship, and that leads to all the other fights. Then they fall out of love and become miserable.
Good luck & CONGRATS

Give in now and then, but point out that you are. If he wants to do something that you would rather not. Tell him you will go this time if he does the same for you next time. Communication is the key to a great relationship. Good luck with your choices.

I am 31 and have been married for 8 years. I am blessed to have him. Make each other laugh. Don’t try and change each other. Understand we all have quirks but as someone else said pick your battles. Will it really kill you to put the seat down when he forgets?? lol! He has to put up with things I do too.
Have fun with each other and trust each other! Good Luck!

My best piece of marriage advice is for each of you to have your own money. I don’t mean you split bills like roommates, but you should each have some amount of money that you can spend at your own discretion on whatever you want, no questions asked. When you set your budget, you set aside most of the money for bills, groceries, etc. but you also set aside personal money for each of you. It will save so many arguments. My wife and I haven’t had an argument over money in years.
