11:2064765As we all know our Jenni will be getting married very soon, so i started this thread as most of the members are married to ask what bit of advice would you offer the newly weds????? .
My advice would be marriage is give and take and its a journey of learning for you both.
Im sure all us members wish you both lots of love and luck xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

11:4164767I wish you and your fella all the very best Jenni, can't wait to see the photos of the big day.
Advice? Um well, respect and trust are very important, without that there is nothing to build on.

12:4664769Treat others well but remember that it is the two of you who are the most important.
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

19:0464798Mutual respect and a good sense of humour are always useful for a happy relationship. Treat each other like they're your best mate/friend - they should be anyway.

19:3164806this reminds me of an episode of "rab c nesbitt" when a young couple announce to the bride to be's dad thay they are getting wed.
the man avered " aye marriage,endless years of unmitigated boredom punctuated by bouts of mindless violence mayyou both be very happy".

19:4864810Advice for HIM. I live by and swear by this and it never lets me down. It's a little rule I call the "Red Dress Blue Dress" rule. When married, the bloke must NEVER allow himself to be lured into any questions from the lady that relate to her fishing for compliments. For example, she might ask:
"Does my bum look big in this?"
"Do you think these earrings go with this hairdo?"
"Does this belt suit me?"
and the ultimate one...
"What do you like best? The red dress or the blue dress?"
Men... this is a TRAP! You can NEVER win. No matter what answer you give, it won't be right. If you say that you like the red dress better, the response will likely be "What? Are you saying the blue dress makes me look ugly?"
These days, if asked by my lovely wife if her shoes look nice, or this makeup works, or the hair is good, or the blouse matches the skirt, I simply say "Red Dress Blue Dress Violation! I don't have to answer!"
Self preservation!

21:1864858LOL Rick - I love that!
One bit of advice my mum gave me that is very true is that there is no I in We.
My husband and I have been married for almost 30 years and I've found that laughter and respect along with loyalty seems to be a good recipe.
Good luck Jenni, hope your wedding day is wonderful, memorable and full of love.Be happy xx
There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok".

22:0464889My wife has been going through the change for the last 34yrs..........in my trouser pockets when I'm aslleep.
He may wear the trousers Jen, but don't forget that you OWN the pockets.
