My brother’s fiance’s bridal shower is coming up here in a couple of weeks.  I won’t be able to make it up for the shower but I’ve been in contact with my Mom discussing gift and game ideas and other details and doing what I can from a distance.
It reminded me that a few weeks ago I wrapped up the “Goin’ to the Chapel” event with a final giveaway.  As one of the entry options I asked you all to share your best tips for a successful marriage.  While I’m thinking about it I wanted to share them with you so you can all benefit from each others’ wisdom.
Marital Wisdom
  • Be nice to each other.

  • Make him keep his clothes picked up from the beginning. It’s too hard to train them later…

  • TRUST IS EVERYTHING.

  • Never, ever go to bed angry. You toss and turn all night and wake up even more angry!

  • Don’t sweat the small stuff.

  • Keep it simple.

  • My best piece of advice is to be open, honest, and communicate with your partner – try to see their point of view when you disagree and be considerate of each other.

  • Never let your relationship get to the stage where respect and manners are lost.

  • Always make time to just focus on each other.

  • Love is a VERB. Love your husband and strive to make him happy.

  • Be honest to each other.

  • Enjoy every minute.

  • Choose your battles carefully.. Let the small stuff go. If your spouse is doing something that is irritating, but not a bid deal, work it out yourself and get over it. It’s not worth a fight over socks on the floor. There will be bigger issues than socks (etc), and those are the issues you need to talk out

  • Go on as many vacations as possible before you have kids.


    • Hope you enjoy!
