Any advice for a new couple trying to make it work?

Answer 1

Communication and Validation. You must be able to talk to each other about your issues or you will end up resenting the other person.

Trust. Go at it with full trust. Over time that trust will grow stronger or break depending on what you do to each other.

Respect. You must respect each others privacy and feelings or you will end up resenting.

Responsibility. You must be responsible to your bills and each other. Most things you do will reflect off each other so act in a responsible manner.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

First of all you have to have honesty, No matter what! You really need to be able to tell each other everything.
Starting and making a relationship work are not easy at all, imagine starting one based on lies?

You also need to be able to trust each other. Know that if your bf is going out with his friends that he will be faithful and don't call 100 times. Let him have fun.

I have been married 7 yrs and I have thought many times that we would not make it.
My husband had an emotional affair while I was pregnant with our twins.
We have had many ups and downs but through it all we have communicated as best we could, it has gotten better as we are together longer.

Also remember that the "spark" that you initially feel most likely will fade. BUT what people don't tell you is that a much deeper connection and love is to follow.

My husband and I are doing very well and have really come full circle. We act as though we are newly dating.

On our wedding day we had this read. It was beautiful then but now I TRULY understand the meaning. It is from the Bible but i think that whether you are religious or not it has meaning.
God Bless You!

Love is patient; love is kind
and envies no one.
Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;
never selfish, not quick to take offense.
There is nothing love cannot face;
there is no limit to its faith,
its hope, and endurance.
In a word, there are three things
that last forever: faith, hope, and love;
but the greatest of them all is love.

~ 1 Corinthians 13 ~

Answer 3

Communication. I know its hard. If I am having a problem that I just can't seem to talk about I will leave my hubby a letter and explain what going on and that way I can get everything out with out yell or crying. It gives us both time to think and then we can talk rationally with each other. It works for us.

Answer 4

Just remember, work is the key word there. It's not all fun but it shouldn't be all work either. Just try to communicate and keep on trying. It's when you stop trying (or just one of you is trying) that things are a wash. Good luck!
