Its work and you have to be willing to put the work into it. Even though you may be right... It might be better to just let it go. "Does my butt look good in these jeans?" The answer is always Yes, Hell YEAH! or something to that effect. Don't put yourself in the wrong place around the wrong women at the wrong time. Enjoy the burnt biscuits. They make great memories later on down the road. | ||

WORTH IT. If a man is talking alone in the woods, he's still wrong. You always have the last word- "Yes Dear" Don't worry about forgetting stuff. She will always remind you because she never forgets. She will always give you sound advice (99% sound, 1% advice  ). | ||

27 years ago this September we had a friday evening wedding too. Lots of things went wrong that day, and I only remember the good parts, but here's my long winded 2 cents. 1. Unless you've already sworn off the stuff, adult beverages are fine in almost any quantity. If you enjoy in moderation, you won't get to finish a single one anyway, as your friends and extended family will want to dance and socialize. You'll be too busy to remember where you set your glass down. Don't start till after the photos. Your photographer will thank you. 2. Being married sucks lots of times. Staying married is going to be the hardest thing you can do in your life. It's less scary than raising kids, but lots more aggravating. Your spouse will sometimes ignore you, irritate you, inconvenience you, and cause you to miss opportunities (both social and professional) that you would otherwise jump at. Here's the thing.. You will have exact same effect on her life. The best part is, together you will find the worst things in life are easier to bear with someone at your side. As hard being married can be, its that good! 3. For God's sake it's your wedding day. Get off Badweb and make yourself as handsome as you can for that lady and her family. You can get back to motorcycle topics when you get back from your honeymoon. We'll still be here. Congratulations and good luck! | ||

Be nervous... Marriage is an institution. Your first few years will be magic. The rest will be work. It's rewarding if you're willing to put forth the effort. The easy way is always disastrous in the end. Our "arguments" are quite one sided these days. I sit and take it. As long as I have my guns and bike I can let most anything else slide. Once kids come around you priority is no longer yourself or each other. That has it's own rewards. Like the Boy Scouts say, "do your best." I had intended to stay single for some time, travel at my leisure, and focus on doing cool things and buying awesome stuff. At 23 I was married with a child...now two...and own a home. No regrets. | ||

Good luck! Been married 36 yrs , been to hell and back and back again - have 2 wonderful sons for my troubles. I will say just this - " A woman marries a man expecting he will change - but he does'nt , a man marries a woman expecting she won't change but she does!!" | ||

Without trust, there is nothing. Communication is also key. Never take a day for granted. At the same time, take time to yourself. Enjoy, and congrats! | ||

When I received advice on marriage as a young man I was told,"Find a woman you hate and buy her a house". | ||

o Share o Do things on your own when you can o Bring her flowers w/o any event o Love her always and tell her she'll always be your bride o Be generous with her family o Have as many children as our Lord will allow (a friend of mine at work has 14 of them) o Be more in love with her this year than you were last year o Take vacations, go places neither of you have been before | ||

Robert Heinlein said that you should never try to win an argument with a woman. If you do, apologize immediately. Doubly true if you are married to her. | ||

A successful man is one that makes more money than he can spend. A successful woman is one who has found such a man :P. | ||

The honeymoon is never over. May this day be the worst day of the rest of your life together. Work at making that true. | ||

The advice I give my boys is "if you want a happy wife, marry a happy woman, and don't screw it up". Both people should learn to communicate really well. One will probably be better than the other, and that's OK, just like one is taller than the other it just is what it is. Work hard to communicate really really clearly. If you do that, it's still hard work at times, but 1/10th what it could be. For us, a faith and faith community has been very important as well. It's easy to make your spouse your god early in the marriage, then make your kids your god. They aren't, and when they fail at being the real God, you have no where left to go. There will be many times your spouse needs you, and there will be many times they need God too. Enjoy and be present in the moment you are in, you won't believe how fast it all goes. | ||

I second Reep's advice  . I'm only two years in so far but it's been awesome. God has really used my wife to restore my legal standings, my finances, and my financial groundings. We've come a long way already, but much more to go . | ||

This is like talking someone off a ledge. With my warped sense of humor it's best I keep my mouth shut. Of course by now it's all too late and the OP is now on the hook. For the rest of you single guys....go buy a bike and be happy | ||
| Lynrd |
Yup. I find it easier to find a women who hates me, then buy her a house. |
