I just got married!?
Find answers to your legal question.





I just got married!?

My hubby and I joined in wedded bliss on January 2nd. I'm 22 - he's 24, neither of us have ever been married before. I have no kids and he has a four (almost five) year-old daughter - whom I adore and love as my own. We have shared custody of her and communicate very well with her mother and stepfather.

I think we are off to an excellent start! Anyone have any advice to keep us on track?

COMMUNICATION!! Always be open with each other; talk to each other as if you were best friends. Compliment each other; don't "assume" he should know how you feel; especially if your're angry because they don't assume anything. Don't say things in anger that you'll never be able to take back; it's better to calm down and then try to discuss the problem. Love him for who he is; not what you'd like him to be.

congratulations!

Well, be understanding even when you know you are right, and when you don't want to be understanding.
Remember that although he has a child, that child's mother and her step father do not belong in your household.
Keep them at arms length and do not let them in on your personal affairs ( Unless it involves the child, or where the child's welfare is concerned) Too many times, things seem like happy go lucky, but the ex's tend to somehow get placed first or the baggage gets in the way.

Remember that your marriage is apart of growing together and also individually, give eachother space, but also set time out for eachother. Nurture eachother, be kind and never hurl insults in an argument... they are disrespectful and sting when you say them out of anger or in jest to the person you love... words do cut very deep so speak from your heart, with honesty encouragement and respect.
HAVE FUN! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

It''s hard bu if you treat them the same your never know how much love your heart can feel. God Bless You ALL

What I think is that just keep things the way they are. Sounds like they are working. I have been married now for a year and it does not seem to be any different like people say things will change once you get married. Just communicate and enjoy your time together. Congratulation. :)

first of all congrats! and really you dont need advice just keep doing what you are doing and spend as much time together as you can, go out places and make your life together interesting.


Tigger lover
Open honest communication with all parties involved with the child. If adults dont tell the truth, you can bet a kid will. Make time for yourselves, you are newlyweds, but always make time for the child too. Good Luck to you all.

don't have kid's together for a while a long while!
marriage is a tough row to hoe....with a baby it becomes more difficult in numerous ways.

The only advice I would give is to be careful of what advice you take. No one else is in your relationship but you, your hubby, and the child. No one else can know what you're feeling, and what works for you but you. Obviously you've figured out how to get this far, so whatever got you here is the foundation for what will carry you through the coming years.

What Romance said, plus: Never expect your spouse to be any more or less than who he is, and vice-versa.

Congratulations. Sounds like you are going to have a great life together. Advice-when something goes wrong (and it will) don't just give up and leave. Learn to talk. It is hard to do sometimes.

Always be honest.. and do little things for eachother, not buying things but getting a glass of water, make dinner, take out garbage, wash eachothers cars, get mail, things like that without being asked. It keeps me and my guy feeling loves and appreciated!

Stay friends. Stay involved in each other's lives. Keep up the communication - that's the number one reason people split up.

Congratulations!

Always be honest with each other and find the time to share little things. I have been married for 25 years and have found that communication is the most important thing.

Sounds cheesy but never go to bed angry with each other, even if it means staying up all night lol.

You keep doing what you are doing. Friends with ex's is always the best for the kids.

don't put yourself in situations to cheat. that may sound dumb- but it is sage advice. if you don't put yourself in any bad situations, you will never regret anything.
