Best Piece of Advice about Marriage

Sharonda, on May 5, 2021 at 11:34 AM Posted in Married Life 0 6

What is the best piece of advice you received about married life? One piece of advice that stuck with me was something my best friend's mother said when my best friend got married in 2004 (I just got married in January of this year). Her mom said a wedding is all fine and good, focus on planning your marriage (long-term), not just the wedding (one day). Another valuable piece of advice is to make sure to make your marriage your own -- how your marriage works only has to make sense to you and your spouse (and no one else). Words to live by! These two nuggets have been so helpful in navigating married life.

Please share the best marriage advice you've received!

    “If you wouldn’t say it or do it in front of your spouse, don’t say it or do it.”

    “You will argue. Do it in such a way so that you do not have to apologize afterwards.”

    Model the kind of marriage you would want for your children

    Be your spouse's biggest fan, rather than their biggest critic

    Never talk badly about your spouse to other people or vent about them online

    Keep people out of your business! That includes family, in-laws, siblings and friends!
    Don't go to bed angry!
    You can't let everybody in your house

    (Sorry, I pressed reply by accident)
    You can't let everybody in your house! Some people pretend to be happy for you when they're really not!
    When you are wrong, apologize!Keep dating one another.Be mature when working out disagreements! No name-calling or "hitting below the belt"!Don't allow anyone to speak negatively about your spouse, even if what they're saying is true!Don't talk negatively about your spouse to anyone!Always carry yourself in the same manner when you are apart as you would when the two of you are together!Remember, marriage is 100/100, divorce is 50/50!

    Keep the fighting clean, and the sex dirty.
