What Advice Would You Give a Bride/Groom to be or Newlyweds?

[butterflytickles]

After being together for 7 years, I get to marry my best friend in 24 days & I’m curious, what advice might TMF folks have for me/my fiancé & I?
Any and all insight & advice, I’m here for it!

Congratulations.

Be there for each other at all costs.

It's not sexy at all. Learn to make and keep a budget.

A couple of things:
1. It’s not a 50/50 proposition, it’s more like 60/60 or 70/70. Give more than you take.
2. You love them all the time, but you don’t like them all the time, and that’s ok.
3. You’re going to have to learn how to paint!

Have 2 tv's so no arguments!

Keep one day a week for yourselves (Sunday maybe)

Good luck!

Don't be afraid to talk to each other. Make a budget and try your best to stick to it (also be sure to put some money away into investments managed by you both and a fiduciary). If your looking to have kids be aware of the risks and of the laws in your state in case something goes wrong with the pregnancy (I'm not saying it will but there's always a chance). If you don't want kids know there are options (aka sterilization, condoms, and the morning after pill). Never violate each other's trust by going behind each other's back. And most important of all, never lose that loving feeling baby! Congrats and save a slice of cake in the wedding for ME (kidding, ^_~)!

Probably nothing new here. Congrats!

Congrats to you too!



I'm clueless but from dating can tell you don't be afraid to communicate fully with each other. Express emotion, tell each other how you feel about each other...

(Repeating some of the above)
You're already Best Friends -- Closest friendship is the essence of it! Way to go!

Definitely plan for retirement from now if you haven't already, put away continually, decades go by in a blink...

I hear compromise is essential of course, and shouldn't be a problem if you each always look out for the other. If you've been together 7 years, I'm sure you already do!

-----Exercise together, walk together, eat healthily, keep each other happy & healthy!!
