We are sharing today some of the best advice we have ever received. This has help us to grow together as a couple. We hope it will help you also.
NOTES:
A lot of couples enter marriage with the idea that if this does not work we can get a divorce. If you start your marriage with this kind of thinking then you will never be committed to each other, you will always find the easy way out. Divorce should not even be in your vocabulary. Divorce is NOT an option! You have made a lifetime commitment to each other. When times get hard, and they will, you work together to get through it.
If you think marriage is easy and that everything will be perfect you are wrong. You will fight over lots of things, especially in the first few years because you are learning to live together. You will disagree and that is normal. You can fuss and disagree about what needs to be done or have a difference of option. You may not be able to completely work out the problem in one day, but never go to sleep mad with you spouse. I have had to say many times, “I know we still disagree and I am sorry if I have said anything that has hurt you, I love you and I want us to continue to work through this tomorrow”. Kiss and make up and then I ask this question, “Are we OK to go to sleep?”. If you determine to never go to sleep mad with each other you will learn how to work things out. You will also get a good night sleep.
Money problems are the number one reason for divorce in America. Remember for you divorce is not an option (see #1). Learn to manage your money together. Create a budget together, live by it together. Don’t hide anything from your spouse. Learn to work together to build a finical future that you both will enjoy.
