Tips for gr8 marriage?

The Black Dahila

1. Be open minded

2. Be willing to give and take (sometimes you have to do something you may not care for and same for him)

3. Be honest (if he does something that bothers you, tell him don't bottle it up until it becomes an issue)

4. Don't have children (this is my personal opinion, kids take a lot of money and time, if your not willing to sacrifice everything don't have children)

5. Get out and do things (even if it's as simple as riding around the countryside then having a picnic, do things to keep your life interesting)

6. Never go to bed mad (things boiling overnight only make matters worse)

7. Never yell at one another (always sit down and discuss things like adults)

8. Don't live beyond your means (money is the root to all evil) Most marriages end over fights about money.

9. Share duties (the woman can't do everything) I cook dinners, clean rooms and clean bathroom, my husband mows the lawn, takes care of trash and we share laundry and washing dishes.

10. Plenty of hugs and kisses and I love you's (you never get tired of someone telling you that they love you)

Go on a date once a week or every 2 weeks. Make it a habit.

there's no such thing as a perfect marriage nor a perfect couple. there will always be shortcomings and challenges along the way. i cannot give you one 'coz i've had my share of problems. but one thing is for sure....respect and accept your partner/significant other no matter what.

HAVE FUN! Try new things together and if one likes it and the other does not then balance it out with the opposite.

Trust is HUGE
Love is Grand
Understanding of each others needs is essential.
give praise on a daily basis. Even a dog will do good if he is praised!

also be his/her best friend, lover, confidant, sounding board
also give with all your heart and expect nothing in return

Have similar interests, likes, or hobbies. The same religion and politics helps. Be fun, open minded and romantic. Talk together. Put each other first above all else, kids included. Without each other you have nothing. Keep things interesting / spiced up. If it sounds like fun, do it!

dont spend every waking moment together, have a life outside of the home, keep things from getting too tense when you are at home, never go to bed angry with one another.

HONESTY AND OPEN COMMUNICATION!!!

Learn how to argue so that you get your point across instead of just inflicting hurt.

Accept and applaud your differences! Do not ever try to change each other. Love the good and the bad. And , no matter what, be honest about the things that matter!

Fight fair.
Never assume you know how your spouse is feeling or what they are thinking.
Don't belittle them, especially in public.

Realize that a good marriage is hard work. Some days it's good and some days it's bad.
It should never be a power struggle. You are partners as well as friends as well as lovers.
Always stay as open as possible with your significant other.
Above all else realize that falling in love with someone is a stage in your relationship. Love doesn't just die it changes....it can change into something good or something bad. The choice is yours.
Respect each other's space, opinions and one another.
Neither of you should ever try to control the other. Good Luck

communication..never go to bed mad....always be willing to say your sorry.....show them on a regular basis how much you love them.

Queen

if u do something forhis/her sake,don't keep on saying so.show him/her that u like doing it with him/her.doing stuff together coz u both like is much better than doing it for the other's sake.that other then will always feel u're doing a favour that bothers you and will be shy to ask for something new that he wants,if that happens,deep inside him there will always be unfullfilled desire or or wish because of you,and that's the first step on the way of a big big gap between you

Peachy

Don't get married until you find someone that loves you every bit as much as you love him/her. Wait until you're sure that this is THE one and know that they KNOW that you are the one. You can't do this in under one year! LOL

Make sure both of you are totally committed to God and love and obey Him. See, 'love' is an emotion that ebbs and flows...and when you're just not feeling it, you still will do your best, treat the other person well and hang in there out of respect to God.

Mutual respect ... and open communication. No name-calling ... EVER.

Oh and that "never go to bed angry" thing? Sometimes you both need to sleep on the issue before you can talk rationally about it, so don't sweat going to bed angry. As long as you talk about it when you wake up.

You can survive in this world but it is going to be very hard now life is more complex and it is a new world order and you need more education and training more than anything else.Well I wish you well and come back telling us what you have accomplishment.
