My husband and still technically newly weds (in fact i just asked for newly wed advise!). We've been married for 7 months, and so far things have been perfect. But are we doing the things that will build a good marriage? We rarely fight, and when we do we only throw tempers around a short time before we head to different rooms. We spent maybe 20 minutes apart, then we talk things out. We refuse to go to bed angry, and if by chance he takes off for work before things are worked out, its not to long before we are on the phone calling each other to apologize. We realize that at times, we can't both win. And we make deals with each other, that way we both feel like we've won. "If you do the dishes, I'll take care of the mess in the bathroom..". Anything bugging us is always talked out, or brought to the attention of the other person. We say I love you often, constantly working on our sex life, & have a nice finical routine worked out. Are we on the right track?

Sounds like you are on the right track to me. You have respect for each other. You are doing what some call "fighting fair" You have consideration for each others feeling. The says alot for a relationship. Good for you.

Sounds like you both are acting very maturely in this marriage, and I bet you will have a wonderful life together as long as you continue to go in the direction you are headed in now. Remember to have a special night for yourselves also. Get away from the house and everything to do with it and spend a nice romantic evening together.

Wow! I wish my husband and I could handle things that well!! Sounds like you are on the right track. If you are interested in some fun reading, Sheet Music and Sex begins in the Kitchen, both by Kevin Leman, are great books for marriage!!

It sounds like you're on the right track. Talking to each other is very important, as is understanding that each of you is entitled to have your own feelings about something. It isn't about winning or losing, it's about understanding each other.

i'd word it a touch in yet otherwise, yet i imagine that your position in this may be an same as mine: authorities should be in the employer of approving civil unions between couples. Couples will be heterosexual or gay. authorities might want to be conscious an same criminal rights and usual jobs to all couples in civil union. besides the undeniable fact that the authorities gained't require church homes to bless those unions. church homes are free to bless even if marriages they see in good structure without regard to the authorities's regulations. church homes would accord rights and usual jobs to married couples in the church. church homes will in all probability recommend (and would, in the experience that they need, require) couples to computer screen to the authorities for a civil union alongside with their marriage. that's what maximum of them do at present. yet church homes gained't require the authorities to approve those marriages.
