Advice for the new couple? I would like to hear wedding/marriage/couple advice from around the world?
Ren asked:
What is advice someone told you that really helped? Advice and sayings regarding marraige and weddings from all over the globe would be greatly appreciated. One I heard and now always use when asked to give advice at a bridal shower is, “Save water, shower together.” I am working to collect serious, funny, true, etc sayings to embroider onto a double wedding ring quilt that I am giving the bride and groom to be and all help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Remember- this is going to be emboridered so short, sweet and to the point answers are preferred. Thanks

Another word for Marriage: COMPROMISE.
If you can’t learn to do that, you won’t last….and trust me, it is a learned word!

Relationships are NOT 50/50… They are 100/100.

Showering together is fine, so long as there are no kids to keep an eye on.
You are going to argue, no matter what, so may as well start now.

Give each other space (personal time).
I love that he can go out on Wed night with the boys to play poker and I get my free time to go hang with my friends, or take time out for just me.
Don’t forget the infamous “respect”.

Your spouse is not a mind reader. It sounds funny, but for a long time I thought mine was. I had to actually spell it out for him what I felt and wanted. But it’s so great to be open like that. Plus it feels better, and he knows EXACTLY what you want or need. Also, to put God first in the relationship. Don’t try to change him or her, pray to god and he will work in BOTH of your lives

Don’t ever stop holding hands.
Don’t go to bed mad.
Better the devil you know, than the devil you don’t. (kind of a flip on ‘the grass is greener on the other side of the fence’)

Our advise from Germany-actually there are two:
Don´t call them fights, call them disagreements
When you do disagree, don´t bring it up again. Let it go. Our minister told us this, and we´ve done a really good job taking his advice and not opening old wounds.
God bless you!
