    Re: I'm getting married!!

    I'm two weeks away from year 1 with my wife.

    Best piece of advice. When's she's angry or Aunt Flo is visiting, retreat to a safe distance and throw chocolates at her until the storm passes.
    I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

    I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

      Never get to the point of not appreciating each other. Over time things will seem "the norm" and can cause certain acts etc.. to be expected rather than respected.
      Mutual respect and keeping a secure grasp on making time for each other will go a long way.

      All the best man!
      Yeah, i find communicating if you're mad/annoyed is much better than hiding it and letting it simmer...better to acknowledge it and get past it.

        Re: I'm getting married!!

        Been married once, now dating another chick.
        My advice:

        1. When "her friend" is visiting, be ready for the worst. AND NEVER BLAME HER MOOD ON "HER FRIEND."
        2. Intimacy is an enormous part of any relationship. If she feels neglected, she may seek intimacy elsewhere. Don't let it get to that point. Tell her she's pretty. INITIATE!
        3. COMMUNICATE. Tell her what you like. Tell her what you don't like. Tell her why you're mad. Tell her why you're worried. Tell her why you're scared. And encourage her to do the same by LISTENING and keeping an open mind. When she's telling you things going on in her life, listen, even if it's about JCrew and The Gap.
        3. Trust each other. If she's out and doesn't tell you where she is, she's probably shopping for you. Don't demand to know where she is every second of every day and don't allow her to know that about you. Everyone needs some privacy and some space. Respect that about one another.
        4. Do things together, but (as I said in #3) not everything. Have a date night every few weeks. Go on vacations. If you can't afford vacations, stay local, but be spontaneous.
        5. Children ALWAYS come first. If either of you disagrees, you're not ready for children.

          No matter how mad she makes you, and she will, do not raise your voice. You will be the badguy from that point on. Whatever she did that was wrong and should apologize for will be forgotten and you will end up apologizing. And anything louder than a normal speaking voice is considered "yelling" by women.

          As I'm sure others have said, don't forget friends and family.

          And like PAD said, kids are first. Once you have kids, they are one million times more important than either of you.

          Maintain your own identity and sense of worth. Believe me on this, I learned the hard way. My first wife left me and it almost killed me.

          No woman respects a puppy. Be a man, stand up for yourself if you know you are right.

          Treat her with respect and listen to her.

          Congrats! Marriage is hard, but it's also great!

                  Congrats man!

                  Where are the wedding picture? How are you not going to share those with your OS family?
