Advice for the Bride

Nightcat says:

Never go to bed angry, ever. Work things out before you turn in for the night.

ItayasDesigns says:

Give each other their own personal space to have separate interests. Even if you don't understand that he needs to go and spend hours catching and then throwing fish back in the water, encourage him to have fun!

veryirie says:

Teamwork! :)

aesta1 says:

This is your one day to be queen. Enjoy it.

LisaAuch says:

Let him think everything is his idea...lol

capriliz says:

Take a walk together in the evening. Healthy for the body and the soul!

Witchladyz says:

Never go to bed on an argument , sort it out first or say sorry and give a big kiss and hug; and make him face you when you are talking that way they cannot say they didn't hear you, and you know you have their full attention LOL married 35 years on the 16th august LOL

Heather426 says:

I've never been a groom, so not qualified to give him advice. So for the Bride, I like Rita Rudner's answer to this one: Accept him unconditionally as he is....and pretend he's someone else:)

My husband said the answer is to :" Love her, simply love her" from Camelot... so there you have advice for the groom too:)

WhiteOak50 says:

Always, remain true to who you are. As long as you remain true to who you are, you will fit together equally as a couple and be partners no matter what.

Advice for the Groom

SellClean says:

Ask the caterer to make up some left overs in a to go bag. After the reception, you will realize that it has been hours since you ate anything but cake and you will be starving!!!!

chuckholmes301 says:

Pick your battles. Happy wife equals happy home. Even if you win, you lose, so try not to argue with your bride.

SoonToBeMrs says:

At some point during all the pre-wedding planning you future wife maybecome easily irritated, start having crazy nightmare and you will probably start to argue over really stupid stuff... She still loves you, everyone and all the details are just driving her crazy. Also, a marriage counselor is an awesome idea before the wedding because it will help you both communicate so the petty squabbles aren't as frequent. Good luck!

ElizabethJeanAllen says:

Talk! Don't assume you know what your mate wants or thinks. When you don't agree, work out a compromise.

nyfamily5 says:

This goes for the bride and groom, putting it under groom since he has to be calm and just go with the flow, so to speak. And stand by your woman!

Susan52 says:

I have to echo vallain's advice. Be willing to snuggle, JUST snuggle, from time to time. Write that down!

vallain says:

Show affection (hold hands, give back rubs, kiss) throughout the day and week, not just as a foreplay.

Wonderful article! It's never easy letting a son go off into 'married land', but I'm sure you taught him everything he needs to know to treat his wife very lovingly. :)

You should add a section Best Advice for the Mother In Law. (That would make a great lens, don't you think?) lol :)

My advice would be, Talk. If you have problems, talk and solve the problem. Don't shout at each other, talk calmly. Give one another a chance to talk and explain.

My oldest son is getting married in March. I am so looking forward to having a daughter. The biggest thing they've learned from us is talk.... Assumptions always leads to fights.

Choose your battles, in the big picture, does it matter if he steals the covers at night?

Choose your battles wisely. Does it really matter if the toothpaste is squeezed from the middle of the tube?

To both: Listen to each other, don't just get in the "uh-huh" habit. Have a wonderful life together!
