The Best Marriage Advice Ever Received

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
  • “If I am unhappy with my husband about something, it stands to reason there are things about me he is unhappy about. We need to work together.” ~ BT
  • “… it was that I should love my husband, but not wrap myself up in my husband. That I should always remember that I was a person before him, and I should do my damnest to stay a person while married to him … second best advice was to never completely tie your finances to your husband–always have something of your own.” ~ deblgus
  • “Don’t fight over money because there is never enough to go around anyway.” ~ s91601
  • “Don’t go to bed angry at each other.” ~ Ibn Tumart
  • “The best advice in my opinion is to live in a different town than your families when you get married. My hubby is in the Air Force and lucky for both of us, we moved across the country! We both grew up in negative environments and the space is a blessing! Now we appreciate talking to our families and they are far enough away where they can’t interfere and smother us with negativity. On another note, I believe the standard “don’t go to bed angry” is right as rain as well!” ~ GirlyGirl220
  • “For women: Do not expect your husband to change after marriage.
    For men: Do not expect your wife to not change. : )” ~ Data10000
  • “My mom always tells me when I fight with my husband that he could be worse than what he is and I should quit sweating the small stuff.” ~ quinnandellie
  • “From the time we were little kids, my dad told us “Never date anyone you wouldn’t marry” …. when we were kids this made zero sense, but as I got older, it became clear that a lot of people marry people they don’t much like/fit with well, for a variety of reasons. SHe ends up pregnant, it is just “time” to marry. The selection process of who to marry is complex, but makes a huge difference.
    We also always advise newly marrieds to NOT sit and complain about anything in their marriage, large or small, in little same sex (or not) groups at work or at play. ALl it does is magnify any irritants, and if you really have a problem with your spouse, talking to them about it is much more likely to solve the problem than sitting and bitching with others.” ~ shopper113
  • “A quote from the Bible: What God has yoked together, let no man tear apart.” ~Donnamaria65
  • There are “… various ways in which relational maturity develops in people — preparing them first to care for themselves, and then to care for two people, and afterwards for children too. All in a way that is life giving. Relational maturity is I believe the most effective predictor for whether a marriage is likely to last or not.” ~ Tastewise
  • “From my MIL: “Marriage is forever. You have to stick it out no matter how miserable you are.” ~Michele
  • “Get on your knees together every night and say the Lord’s prayer. Even if you don’t go to sleep and may have something else to do. This assures that most nights you will spend some time together before you go to sleep. If you are apart, do it over the phone.” ~ Michele
  • “Never go to bed angry, even if you are not happy with the conditions.” ~ Michele
  • “Communicate, respect for self and each other, trust, faith, laugh together not at each other, don’t go to bed angry or hurt, remember your vows, don’t ask what you are not ready and willing to accept and let go and remember that often time we don’t know we’re making a mistake unless we are told so speak up without being rude and hurtful.” ~ Antoinette 34
  • “Churchill said to never have breakfast together.” ~ Jimnria2
  • “When in trouble with your husband or spouse, never ever talk about these problems with your friends, mother or parents … if you want a real help on this, go to your spouse or husband mother or father or his or her best friend or relatives and tell them about your situation. This advice has given them very fast and some times unexpected and very good solutions, and at the same time they get to understand many of their spouses vision of the trouble, and that has in many instances changed their perspective and perception of the problem.” ~ Manuel D.
  • “After a disillusioned first couple of years of marriage, my husband and I went to a therapist who told us: Marriage should not be so much about looking at each other but looking in the same direction together. I believe the message from this is to remember the positive things that brought you together and then to concentrate on positive goals to achieve as a couple. My observation is that all the cute, unique things that made your spouse wonderful in the beginning are going to be the things that grate on your nerves later. Try to focus on the positive — if you look for negative qualities in someone you are sure to find them! ~ Deb V.
  • “The best marriage advice I received was from my grandmother: Marriage is not always 50/50. Some days you will wake up and may have to give 90% and your spouse will give 10%. Other days you may wake up and give 25% and your husband will have to put in the 75%. I never thought of this before but it is so true.” ~ Meme

Wedding Financial Tips

Saturday, August 7th, 2010

Is your wedding on a budget? Let us help. There are many economical ways to put together an amazing wedding. Saving can be found at nearly every corner if you’re willing to put the time in to find them.

Tips on managing the wedding, and the marriage and wedding finances. Marriage can be an expensive event – the ceremony andreception require the most attention.

Weddings are an extremely special occasion for the bride and groom-to-be. There are so many finite details which go into planning a wedding that make this event a big deal. When planning a wedding, the couple needs to consider financial aspects with regard to their big day. There are a few financial tips for the happy couple so as to ensure that the financial planning which goes along with an event of this type will go as smoothly as possible.

Prepare a Budget

The first thing which a couple should do prior to purchasing any wedding suppliesor reserving any establishments for the special event is to sit down and make a budget. This is beneficial for a few different reasons. First, the couple will be able to mark down how much they are able to spend on the wedding ceremony, wedding reception and any and all other expenses which go along with planning an event of this type. Secondly, by preparing a physical budget, the couple can adequately prepare a list of what types of items they will need to purchase and approximate how much each one will cost.

Save Money by Planning an Off-Season Wedding

For those individuals who do not really mind what time of year they exchange vows, there is a way to save money on the wedding by planning the big day at a time of the year where not every other couple is getting married. Although individuals can and do get married twelve months out of the year, there are certain seasons such asspring and summer where more couples engage in their nuptials. Certain establishments may offer discounts to couples who get married in the “off-season”. Not only will the couple save some money but they may be more likely to have their choice when it comes to booking reception halls for the big day and be less likely to have the place filled up on that particular date.

Buy in Bulk

Another financial tip for couples to take advantage of when planning their wedding is to buy items in bulk. This is a distinct possibility with regard to weddings as there are usually quite a few guests who will be attending and one can often receive a discount on wedding related items that are bought in bulk, such as wedding favors in groups of 100 or 200, for example.

A wedding is such a special event that the couple is sure to want the day to go as smoothly as possible. In addition, they are most likely hoping to get as much for their money as possible and make the day as spectacular as it possibly can be. By creating an initial budget, considering getting married during the wedding off-season and attempting to buy wedding related items such as wedding favors in bulk, the couple can get the most for the money without having to spend a fortune on the wedding ceremony and reception.

Introduction

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

As you begin to plan and organize what will undoubtedly be one of the most memorable events in your life, keep in mind that early planning will lead to much more flexibility in the choices you will have in the up-coming months prior to your wedding day.

The many steps ahead have been spread over a duration of one full year and are presented here in a very simplified, chronological arrangement which you will find very easy to follow.

Wedding plans can most definitely be carried out quite successfully in less than one year’s preparation time. However, the shorter the time frame, the more the compromises and less favorable the choices you may have.

You will see that most, if not all, your first choices can be realized, if an organized and early start is undertaken. You will also know that nothing has been forgotten or left to chance, and that your wedding  day will stand out  and be remembered by all concerned.

A good place to start, is to write down what is to be done from month to month on a calendar. In this way you will feel less rushed and can see exactly that needs to be accomplished during each of the months ahead.

If you are fortunate enough to have bridal consultants in your area, take advantage of  the service. This expertise  will allow you more time to relax and enjoy the most important time in your life. Check on their reputation and background ensuring that they have no direct  connection to any business with which  you will be dealing.  Read over their contract and discuss all related fees, services and responsibilities.

Some modern couples  embarking on such a major commitment as marriage, mutually agree to draw up a “Marriage Contract”. This type of contract brings into focus exactly who is going to be responsible for which things, which tasks, are to be shared and identifies who contributes what to the marriage. If this idea interests you, there are several books devoted to topic.
