My best friend is getting married next week, any marital advice for her?

it's about the marriage not the day.





There will be tough times ahead but that doesn't mean it was a wrong decision, never look back and regret.My best friend is getting married next week, any marital advice for her?
Always stay open and honest with eachother. talking things out and always come to a compromise. There is going to be alot of give and take on both sides. and dont sweat the small stuff, life is to short to spend it arguing over little crap.





Best of luck to them both!My best friend is getting married next week, any marital advice for her?
share chores. if each person in a relationship knows what the other does on a regular basis, it's more appreciated and less likely to be taken for granted. so if you usually do the laundry and he usually does the dishes, switch for a month, just to experience the flip side.





Example:


A few years ago, one of my friends' husbands only did yardwork, while she did everything in the house - unless he bbq'd, then she was off the hook for cooking that evening. They had 2 children under the age of 4 at the time. He complained about the messy house and she asked for help, which she most often did not get. Eventually they switched...she took over the yard work for a month and her husband took over the housework. Needless to say, the housework was kept up for the first week...and only the first week...


He doesn't complain about the house and he actually lends a hand at house work now.
Marriage isn't a 50/50 proposition, it's 100/100. You both have to give your all.
Communication Communication Communication....about everything.





Compromising with each other, being honest about your feelings with each other. Laugh with each other.





Being married is hard work. You have to work at it everyday. In order get love you have to give love.
