Remember:
It takes 6 men to carry a guy to his grave...............and only 1 woman to put him there!
and.................
Husbands usually die before their wives............... because they generally want to!
Been 46 years for us.
I help around the house:
I pick my feet up when she is vacuuming.
I eat the food off the plate so she can wash it easier
Marriage is give and take..............she gives and I take.
Never let the sun go down on an argument.........keep running WEST.....fast!
Good luck on your venture of a lifetime.

There have been several posts on this thread where I want to respond "sucks to be you", but I believe it best to let each figure out who needs it.
Wife and I have been married 47 years .
She's still my best friend and she says I still make her laugh .
Be faithful , honest , loyal and loving . Never do or say anything to hurt her .
A good wife is a Blessing from Heaven ... a Bad wife is a Curse from Hell (from what I see and hear).
Have two TV sets and two remotes ... TV's aren't that expensive ... cheaper than Divorce .
If asked ... does this make my butt look big ....it's OK to lie and say NO .

On that subject, best remember than by the time y'all rack up some of those higher 2-digit numbers, odds are real good your butt isn't gonna be as small as it was, either. Or much of anything else above your waistline. I can still look down and see my feet without craning my neck, but it's getting harder to tie my shoes every day. Take a little care for your appearance, because she don't want to be seen with no slob. If you don't shave, keep the beard & mustache combed and trimmed. If you do, do a good job of it so she knows you don't want her seen going out with a slob. And you might want to pet her butt every now and again, and let her know you still like it.
If you are young and thinking about getting married ... take her home and let her meet your Mom and Dad . After they get to know her... ask mom what she thinks of her ...then take Mom's advice .
Dad usually likes all the girls you bring home ... he's not much help .
If both Mom and Dad say ... not this one son ... drop her like a bad habit and keep looking .

" Let's Go Brandon !"
The women now a days want to see you portfolio and what is your net worth before the want to know your name. I'm not say'in they are all bad but the good ones are all taken. Beware young men ,hold on to your wallet because "your wallet is your best friend"
If either of you are more interested in the financial aspects of the relationship than you are in each other you have a business, not a marriage.

Christ is necessary for a lasting marriage?
Necessary, no. There are enough long non- Christian marriages to prove that point. Helpful, absolutely. I would compare it to taking a gravel road instead of the black top. Both can get you there but the black top is smoother and easier. That isn’t to say that there won’t be bumps and pot holes along the way, there is just liable to be fewer of them.

There are PLENTY of failed Christian marriages! Being a Christian does not make a marriage easier! Every marriage is a puzzle unto itself.
36 yrs. Show your wife you care by taking care with little things. Most women seem to like conversation so don't neglect that. Support her hobbies, show interest and give encouragement. If she wants to see a play go with her. Flowers for no reason at all. Be patient at the in laws. Help with household chores. Ask her often if there is anything you can do for her.

Your marital relationship is completely dependent upon your closeness to God.

I love it!
No offense intended, but you must have had some pretty terrible "religion".When my late wife and I booted religion out of our lives and out of our marriage, our relationship improved so dramatically it is indescribable.
--Wag--
I've often heard over the years from "churchy" folks how you must be "close to God" to have a good marriage. While I see a grain of truth there, it's demonstrably untrue. For example, I have a coworker who is literally a "God-hater". He claims to be agnostic/atheist, but on the rare occasion he says anything about it, I realize that nobody could possible have that much hate for someone they don't believe in (he lost children). He and his wife appear to have a very strong marriage, very close and caring, do anything for each other.
The grain of truth I mentioned is this: I believe the key to success is following what I consider "Christian principles" on the subject, primarily faithfulness, selflessness, kindness, unconditional love. Call them "universal principles" if the word "Christian" offends you, or whatever, but they are principles promoted in the Bible. There are many, many Christian couples who don't live this way, who fail in their relationships, and their are plenty of non-Christian couple who do live this way and succeed.
I've seen far too many "super-Christian" couples crash and burn, and nice, church-going families implode, to buy into the idea that merely putting a label on yourself and sitting in a pew every week will save your marriage. You've got to live it.
