Any advice to me and my new husband?


:)

Always be honest with each other, and always trust each other until you have a reason not to (if you ever come across that reason).

Be Honest with each other, Communication; open communication with each other is so important. Truly live each day as your first day and always show love to each other every single day. Always find quality time for each other.

First of all... congrats!! Second, my advice is to keep things interesting. One of the biggest reasons people stray is they get bored. Keep things interesting. Look at what keeps the fires going now and hold that in your mind. That way in a few years when you get into a lull, you will know how to spark things up. Also, when and if kids enter the picture... make it a point to make time for each other. It is so easy to put your hub or wife on the back burner when life gets busy... but if you have a date night or time worked into your schedule automatically... it will keep you connected.
Another thing... there is a book about the 7 languages of love. Very good book. You should read it. It provides lots of insight and can prevent a ton of fights. I wish I would have read it when I was a newlywed. :O)
Also, keep the communication open. If you are upset about an issue, keep calm or take a break until you can be calm enough to discuss it rationally.
Another tip: Well the spark is still there... you both should write down a list of things that you love about the other person that attracted them to you. Put this in a safe place (safe, safe dep box). That way when you have troubles and start to question why you married the person, you can pull the letter out and remind yourself.
Congrats and good luck!

I have a question... What is the translation of your name? I know a little German and have been trying to figure it out... but have been unsuccessful.

My suggestion, learn to laugh together and learn to play well. Fight fair, because fights will occur, but they are not the end of the world, no matter how bad they are.

Meet for lunch in a park every now and then, have a picnic.

Always share a goodnight together and tell each other you love each other as often as possible.

Always consider your spouse's feelings and reactions when you are planning something. If you don't think you could tell your spouse, don't do it.

That's what's worked for us over the last 42 years.
