Hi all - 

My husband and I just got back from our honeymoon so I thought I'd check out this site. Hello! About to head back to SF to our apartment after a brief stopover in NY to visit the inlaws. Looking forward to officially starting our new life together at home. Any newlywed advice pass it one!

Welcome!  Don't ever forget the way you feel as a newlywed.  Remember all the reasons you got married everyday.  And totally go to bed angry.  You will feel better the next day

Hi and welcome!  Not sure that I can offer much advice since I've only been married 6 months myself, but I will say to enjoy this time!  Make a journal of your wedding day and HM while it's still fresh in your mind so you have it to look back on later!

 Only advice I can say is to talk, talk, talk.  Enjoy your Honeymoon phase!

Hi, I've been married for 8 months. My biggest advice is to have lots and lots of patience and communicate daily. My husband and I take about a half hour every day where we sit on our bed, the tv/radio is off, and talk -giving our undivided attention to eachother. If our phones ring, we let them go to voicemail. Sometimes this takes longer, but it's so much better and easier to understand eachothers' moods and though process if you share certain things. I've lived with my now husband for over 5 years, but there's still so much I don't know about him. It's fun to learn new things about him!

Congrats on your wedding!!!!  My husband and I have been married 2 years and together almost 12, and we lived together for about 2 years before me got married, partially with my parents and then in our own home. 

My advice- communicate, think before you speak, its ok to fight, and make time for each other

edit*- and I forgot to say even though we have been together for so long dating, marriage was different, we have def had our ups and downs in the last two years, you just have to adjust your ways, finances etc to what works for both of you.

Speak your mind. Fights are fine. Nobody's perfect. You get what you paid for. Make each other your top priority. Don't try to keep up with the Joneses, they are in foreclosure.
