Marriage advice for to-be-weds

V's cousin invited us to her wedding and in the invitation was a card that we could send back with a recipe and marriage advice. We can't make it to the wedding (it's OOT) but I'd still like to send back the card.

I've already got the recipe but am racking my brain for good advice. They've already been together for a long time and live together. Anyone got anything good and/or cute to share?

Re: Marriage advice for to-be-weds

  • I guess I'd say to always laugh and have fun.  Even if you're having a fight or disagreement, look for the humour in the situation.

     

    Mind you, that might only be good advice for couples like us, who are always joking around.

  • Never forget to be appreciative for the little daily things you do for each other. Doing the dishes, cutting the grass, they may all seem like chores but these are small things you do because you love your mate and you do them to show love and continue creating a home together.

    I'm also a big one on not taking things to seriously. Laughter really is great medicine.

  • I liked the advice the couple who had been married the longest attending our wedding gave us... He told Josh that "50% of the time she'll tell you what to do, and the other 50% you should do what she told you to." :)

    People will say never go to bed mad, but sometimes I need to sleep on it and cool off....  I think being open and honest 100% of the time is vital!

  • Take every opportunity to dance together (especially when doing something mundane, like dishes or raking).
  • cortneyloo * haha!

    I say always talk and keep the communication open. 

    My mom used to tell me to always help with the bad stuff, because when you're together, it doesn't seem so bad. (as in dishes, laundry, lawn work)

  • I forgot this one.

    Always take each other on dates. Even if it's both your money it still feels good to be taken out on a date and the other person pay. :)
