One thing is for sure… marriage is a journey.

And, although no two journeys are alike, similarities can be found.

Each journey will experience exciting destinations and breathtaking views as well as detours, bends and off the beaten paths!

That said, let’s hear from our MARRIED READERS today {you too, men}.  What sage advice can you give to our soon-to-be married readers about taking this marriage journey… about keeping it adventurous and for forever!

Some advice will take years to learn and others much quicker.  Big stuff… little stuff… let’s hear what you got!

I’ll start:

1. Don’t go to bed angry:  There is no one on this earth who can ruffle my feathers like my husband so this advice can be a challenge for me but it’s worth it!  Going to bed angry makes everything worse… bad sleep, bad dreams and often times, added resentment.  Stay up all night and work it out if you have to! The sleep you do get~ will be oh-so sweet!

OK… you’re turn! Let’s hear your sage advice…

Brides and grooms-to-be… feel free to jump in and ask questions!

    We got an advice book from our E-party, and off the “don’t go to bed angry” advice, my girlfriend wrote “FH should never let Amy go to bed angry, and amy should never let FH let her go to bed angry…” Just one of my favorites! :)

    I think one of the best things to do is to hold your tongue.

    It is probably the hardest as well.

    But insults, name calling, or put downs in general can and will destroy another person.

    Sticks and stones ain’t that great either.

    Everybody has at least one little habit that after marriage seems so much more prominent, so much bigger or louder, so much more . . . yeah, annoying. My DH has this way of clearing his throat that drives me absolutely bonkers. On the advice of a coworker, instead of pointing it out or complaining to him about it, I decided to look at it as one of the many things that makes my man unique. Now, somehow, I find it almost cute, endearing.

    Try and take your husbands words literally, not personally. Many men say what they are thinking, not what they are feeling! These can be very different; AND, they can be unrelated.
