What's new

I just got married. Advice?

I've been married twice. The second one is great because we both have our own space. I work days and she works nights, but then we are together every weekend. Good luck!
 
What the hell?

I knew trout had a thing for McKell, but I never knew Trout was a chick.

Trout's hot. For a chick.

Does she lift weights?
 
I hope you did your research.

Been married 18ish years and I'd say the one thing that has helped our marriage a ton and the thing I see wreck other marriages is good, honest communication. If you have it, you'll be fine. If you don't, you're doomed.
 
You just got married and you're posting on JazzFanz, asking for advice? I give it 2 years, tops.
 
Congrats dude.

Oh ****, Archie is probably bumpin uglies as I type this. ****.

Eh. I kid. He lasted 15 seconds, and then pretended to quickly fall asleep due to the awkwardness of it all.
 
Congrats Archie,

Since my marriage experience is much longer then yours I think I am entiteled to give you lots of important advices to get you through the ups and downs of marriage... ok my one and a half month of marriage maybe isn't that much of an experience after all.

Colton's suggestions are just all spot on, but as with any advice you will get here or elsewhere, they can only account for 50% of what you could do to make your marriage work, because the other 50% you can't do anything about it anymore as those are the things you should have thought about before you even decided to marry her.
 
To keep that girl, I recommend an implant. Seriously, she's ****ing hot! She's sort of giving me Jennifer Love Hewitt eyes in that pic. Not that I like JHL but damn. Seriously. What's up with your face too? Jesus, you look flaming. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
 
Give her time to do what she wants to do. Without you. Don't be so jealous or insecure that you don't let her hang out with her friends (even if they're guys) without you. And ask her to do the same for you. No matter how much you love each other and want to spend time together, you both need time apart. It's that simple.
Be open and honest with each other. Tell her how you feel, and get her to do the same. Be open to hearing her criticism of you. What she says is valid in her eyes, even if you don't see it or agree with it.
Talk about your finances together. Have a budget and STICK TO IT!!! That's the one thing my wife and I aren't very good at, and it's led to more than one fight.
I agree that the whole "don't go to sleep angry" is a load of ****. Sometimes that's the BEST thing you can do.
I love to surprise my wife with some flowers for no reason. I know it's something she loves as well. The flowers at Sam's Club come with a one week guarantee and are usually fairly cheap.
Oh, and this:
get the **** off of jazzfanz and go nail ur wife
 
Wow, there are actually some wise and sensible ideas in this thread. From this bunch. Nice.

Many congrats Archie and many years of happiness to you and Mrs. Archie.

good, honest communication is very important, but knowing when to keep your mouth shut is equally important. learn it and practice it. that's probably one of the toughest aspects.

you don't have to comment on everything, or resolve every issue, at least not immediately.

as it's been said already, sometimes you just have to go to bed angry. I'm not going to advocate "sleeping on the couch" but sometimes it's just best if one of you calls it a night before the other, because otherwise, the discussions and arguments just keep resurrecting themselves, it's like in the sit-coms only it's not as funny.

oh, and Congrats again - you two look wonderful! And congrats to jazmanian devil as well on your recent marriage.
 
Wow. There's some horrible advice in this thread.

Archie, thanks for posting a picture of her.
