Gosh, it would help to know your gender! Advice for the gender-neutral - always treat each other with respect, always remember why you fell in love in the first place; if you argue, remember the fight is never really about what you are arguing about, there is usually a deeper issue - and that's what you have to work out; never leave one another without saying I Love You and a kiss; don't go to bed mad, resolve things first; don't forget birthdays, anniversaries, etc.; take time to play together (not just sexually), I mean do fun stuff, even silly stuff.
Congratulations, good luck, and best wishes!

yep a funny story! Well my stepmom (lets call her beyotch cuz she is one) and her bff (lets call her bff) have been friends for a long time. Well bff was getting married to a guy. So beyotch was going to be the bridesmaid. Well bff did something stupid and cheated a week before the wedding! We have no idea why, so the wedding was put off completely! Words of wisdom= don't cheat, have fun, good luck, and save it for honeymoon night!

1) make God your foundation---without Him, you're on your own
2) respect----talking down will encourage divorce
3) communicate----this means no silent treatment, speak up when you're not happy
4) Don't base marriage on income-----someone is going to loose their job possibly at some point
5) Live within your means-----this is where most marriages fail
Keeping up with the Jones will kill you
6) No wandering eyes------grounds for divorce
7) Always make time for each other-----walks, dinners, more walks and more dinners. Movies.....basically I'm saying keep up the dates.
8) Hang out ONLY with married couples that are positive. Poor marriages will rub off on yours.
9) Don't sexually deprive each other---or someone will cheat
10) Don't bash their family------you will be hated in no time flat.
NOW PRINT THIS OUT AND PUT IT ON YOUR REFRIGERATOR.

Congrats! No, I don't have any "words of wisdom", at 40 you probably know more than I do! :) But it's great, best wishes to you.

First of all, congratulations! Marriage is a wonderful institution. My advice is simple - always and I do mean always, be honest with each other and never, ever go to bed angry with each other even if you have to stay up all night to set things right. Again, congratulations!

this one old man told me he had been married for 40 years until his wife passed and i ask him what was the secret he said giving each other their personal space. and have a life outside your marriage. it can include your husband if you like but you should do things that you like and hang with your friends

Congratulations and keep God in your life and always communicate with each other and never go to bed angry at one another. And if you notice any signs of something going wrong(which i hope it doesn't) but if you notice it step up to the plate and talk about it and try to solve it. GOD BLESS!

dont cheat, or lie, unless shes pregnant and asks the dreaded question. just enjoy it and never take your partner for granted treat them as an equal. i got married at 22 and she is the best thing thats ever happened to me.

Remember to always treat your spouse the way you want to be treated. Always put them first in any decision you make. Be honest and fun loving. Don't be afraid to try something new.
