A long time ago when my parents were just newlyweds, my father was approached by his old Polish neighbor, he said..."Bruce, I've been married for 40 years do you want to know the secret to a long marriage?" My dad said sure...and with his hands pushing out, he said, "Give in"


Ain't that the truth after nearly 5 years of marriage for me.

We have been dating for over 6 years and that is something I learned a long time ago. This one is right on!

Be sure that you both put aside some quality "alone" time to do whatever it is that you like to do without each other or 20 years from now you'll resent each other for sacrificing it.

Congratulations and remember all of the advice but most importantly, enjoy the experience while you can. Provide, protect and respect her above all else. Become one. Tell her "I see you" and mean it. Ask God for direction and help; you will need it!

First off...congratulations!

my advice....your always wrong...write this down and accept it now. no matter the argument...you are wrong and she is right! it will make life easier and you can reassure your rightness with your friends...not with her...because that will make it worse:)

in all seriousness...once you find the right person it is the greatest and hardest thing in your life. but all of the hardship will just bring you closer in the end! Enjoy the life you will have together!

And p.s. ...get a additional account for yourself for your cigar purchases...even if she is cool with it now...that box of Cohiba Gran Reservas for $750 may have been a amazing deal for you...but she will not see $750 for 10 cigars EVER being a good deal:)

and p.s. I don't have a hook up for $75 CGR...:)

congrats!

Good responses, (well most). An easy phrase I learned after 36 yeras, "Yes dear, of course you ar right about that. I don't know what I was thinking"
