marriage advice...
My marriage is great, I personally don't need any advice, or maybe I do and I'm just in denial.
Anyway, my dh is a best man in a wedding and wants to add "marriage advice" to his speech. We are drawing a blank on this...
If you can think of anything, funny or serious, original or borrowed, please post it.
THANK YOU!

Re: marriage advice...
The old cliche about do whatever your wife tells you to do. You could add in something funny about how to do it only when she wants you to. And, sometimes, she doesn't want you to do what she says.
At least, that is how my marriage works, which i know may not be typical for the rest of you.
Funny: If you mess it up, you won't have to do it again. (laundry, for example).
DO go to bed angry.
-kiss a lot!
-Love is a sense of humor.
-Marriage is: forgiveness, sharing and caring, unselfishness, compromise and communication.
-1. Sharing 2. Communication 3. Love 4. and occaisionally a good stiff drink!
-To (groom): try to make (bride) happy. When your wife is happy, you're happy. To (bride): Appreciate (groom) because he loves you!
-A day apart now and then is great for bringing back the newlywed glow
-Make love, make love, make love! (from my 88 yr old grandma!)
-Marriage is never 50/50 - each of you has to give 100% to get 100%.
-Never go to bed angry.
-Say I love you every day.
-(groom), ther are 3 words to a successful marriage - "You're right dear"!
-Don't sweat the small stuff
Hope this helps, and what a coincidence!

At the end of his speech, our best man said something like "and remember...."happy wife, happy life!"......and even now, 2 years later, DH and I still use that phrase.
From the top of my head:
Learn the words I'm sorry, and always be the first to say it. Whether it's your fault or not.
Never go to bed angry.
She's always right.
Compliment more than you criticize.
Go on dates.
Fight fair. Attack the issue, not each other.
Kiss everyday.
Sleep naked.
Communication. Communication. Communication.
Listen.
Do not expect your husband to change after marriage. Do not expect your wife to not change.
He said the secret of having a long marriage and getting through the rough patches is stubborness. Yes stubborness. He said they made it through some hard times by both simply having the attitue of "no it's not so good right now but d*mn if I'm going to give up first" So he said his marriage is still together and strong because they are both stubborn.
Wives just want to feel special and husbands just want to cop a feel. LOL!!!
No, I really like Jody's statement: compliment more than you criticize. I have to work hard on that, but it works!
"FIGHT NAKED!!!"
