I'm getting Married....Anyone have any general advice for me?

Answer 1

I assume you want general advice that matters, not general advice like "bring an emergency bag with lipstick in it."

Make sure you see your spouse as special EVERY day, and make sure you let him know that. You never know, any one day, something could have happened that would make him really need to have a kind word.

Don't assume you need to tell each other EVERYTHING, and don't insist on talking things out right then. As long as you are both okay with it, sometimes it's just a good idea to step back and sleep on it to decide if you are really all that angry about something, and to allow you to be objective about it.

Passion and heat and romance are awesome, and I hope you and your spouse have that for a very long time. But in the end, it is a genuine caring about the other person, and a love you have for each other when you are otherwise getting on each others' nerves, and you make the DECISION to stick around for that reason, not because the passion has gone. Passion flees a lot of the time, especially in times of stress. On your wedding day, the promise to love each other and stay together "for better or worse" is a really major promise, because it means that you decide to stick around and make things work when you dont' really feel like it, or when you've stopped having great sex all the time, or when your husband stops telling you how hot you are 24/7. The feeling needs to be there, but it's not just based on emotions and feelings, because those things fade.

Best of luck to you.

Answer 2

first of all congradulations . second know that marriage is the hardest job you will ever have you will work at it all day long go to bed then get up and do it all over again . marriage is not a bed of roses some days are good some days are bad but the love that you feel for one another is what will get you through . realize that the things that you find attractive about one another will eventually be the same things that will drive you nuts . remember that marriage is not always 50/50 sometimes you will be giving more than recieving and vice verca marriage is alot of compromising and alot of listening . but above all make sure that you truly love eachother because sometimes in a new marriage when things get tight love is all you have and never go to bed angry because that never solves anything it only makes the next morning worse and akward hope this helps some this is the advice my dad gave me when I got married 16yrs ago and I am still happily married today hope this helps some and most important remember you are the bride you rule and you are the boss

Answer 3

Love each other
Open Communication
Trust one another (If you can't you don't stand a chance)
Don't sweat the small stuff
Life is a gift and today is the present so live each day to the fullest.
Money is the root of all evil especially in a marriage
Always put your marriage first.
Everything else will fall into place.

Answer 4

No matter how well you plan or how organized you are, five things will go wrong on your wedding day. The day will still be great and no one will notice them.

My five were: (1) the limo driver got lost on the way to the reception, (2) hairdress put my veil in backwards, (3) people showed up with young children though they were asked not to, (4) the DJ mispronounced some of the bridal party names, though he did fine when practicing, and (5) it rained.

Answer 5

Congrats! Best thing I can offer is never go to bed angry. Fights and arguements are bound to happen, but don't go to sleep with the anger. It only gets worse in the morning. Also, do fun silly things together. Like my husband and I just had a sprinkler fight. He was washing his car and sprayed me, I retaliated by filling up a bucket and dumping it on him. Be light hearted is I guess what I meant. It helps keep things interesting.

Answer 6

I have some of the best advice you will ever need and be thankful for..

bring advil, just in case.. and bring comfortable shoes!! wear them at your reception or your feet and legs will be killing you!

if your getting married in the next few months, go light on the makeup..anything heavy starts to almost melt and just feel gross!

Answer 7

Spend more money of developing your future and not just the wedding. So many people are still paying off their wedding expenses AFTER they have divorced. Sad but true fact these days.

Congrats and Good Luck!

Answer 8

Try to be calm on your wedding day, and don't stress! Its really hard because there is so much going on...but just take some deep breaths and relax! Thats about it! Oh, and make sure it is FUN! =0)

Answer 9

Pick your battles! Is it really so important that he take the trash out, or are you capable of doing it yourself? Focus on what you both really need, making sure that you are both giving and caring for the other person...everything you will fight about isn't necessary and the sooner you realize that, they better off you'll be.

Answer 10

Yeah I got the best advice for any woman wanting to get married

Make sure 100% that you KNOW who you want to stand up for you in your wedding party. I chose my 2 closest friends to stand up for me. One of them 4 weeks before my wedding, EMAILED me and said she couldnt come...... And the other one. I had to kick out of my bridal party YESTERDAY because she's nothing but a drunk. (my wedding is in 12 days) so.... Make sure you know for sure without any reason to doubt them before you pick them.
My MOH (that I kicked out yes...) was my best friend for most of my life, but she got married and destroyed her life, and I guess I just dont know her anymore.
so pick someone close, like a sister or cousin or something.
Better safe than sorry.
