Re: Married for a month!

  • Congratulations!! 

     

    Effective Communication is key. That really is the most important thing besides loving the other person. 

  • I agree with PP- always comunicate!!

    And I will add: always show appreciation, even for the little things. A simple "thank you" goes a long way.

    Congrats!

  • Communication is key, as PP's have said, but only if your communicating correctly. DH and I are always working on ways of improving our communication. Also, like PP said, small things make a big difference. DH and I always kiss each other before bed, in the morning, and when we see each other after work. We akso compliment each other and flirt.Who says dating ends after you're married? :)

  • Congrats!! I wish I could give advice but I also just celebrated being married for one month on the 15th. It has definitely flown by. It is nice not having the wedding to plan though so I've noticed we take advantage of that extra time we have. As well as patiently waiting for our wedding video and photos!!!

  • Marriage takes work. It's a choice. You're choosing to make a commitment. When fighting, brush off the little things. When making memories, the little things can mean everything. And at the end of the day, remember why you fell in love and got married. Smile
  • I have been married for one month, too!!  So far I am enjoying the married life!! 
  • Congrats on the marriage and welcome to the board! I've only been married for 6 weeks so I dont have any experience related advice. Just enjoy every moment with your H! I am loving married life :)
  • I'm not married yet, but I consider myself a nester. We've been together for a bit and have a home and family together.

    My top suggestion: date your husband. Yes you are married, but don't let that change the relationship. Continue to go out on dates, get away from everything and just ENJOY each other.

    To agree with PP, communicate, but do it correctly. I'm not the best at this all the time. I tend to shut down when I get hurt or mad. FI hates it. We have been working on this for awhile now. I don't do it near as often as I used to, but I still find myself doing it from time to time. Things go so much smoother when I actually calmy talk to my FI (shocker).

  • O wow this is so great. We also got married September 15th. We've already gotten our photos and videos though haha. Its really wonderful being married though. I love everything about it. We also have noticed that its nicer not having to rush every weekend trying to get ready for the wedding and buying new things for decorations, and such. It is nice to be able to relax and ask eachother what we should do with our time.

  • I have been married for just 6 weeks so I have no expert advice either.  I am loving the married life we are just taking it day by day and cherishing every moment.
