Communicate. Be considerate. - biggyfred, on 10/23/2007, -0/+24The day you treat your spouse worse than you would a random person off the street is the day you need to take a step back and reevaluate yourself. Do that, and the rest will follow.
- HenvY, on 10/23/2007, -4/+261) Choose the right partner!
- theshizzler, on 10/23/2007, -5/+26Key to a happier marriage: let your husband go to sleep, even if you're still mad.
- notque, on 10/24/2007, -7/+28*****. Often.
Oh, and don't be a douche. - System6, on 10/25/2007, -2/+19Marry my wife. She is incredible and puts up with more ***** than a manure plant.
- duke, on 10/23/2007, -1/+179. When you win an argument, you lose.
- grendel, on 10/23/2007, -2/+16Should have read this before my marriage was headed down...
- RollandoMota, on 10/23/2007, -4/+18Keep your wife happy=Eat the pussy.
- missju, on 10/23/2007, -0/+14Pretty basic--but key--pieces of advice about communication and relating.
- pudgyv, on 10/23/2007, -0/+12Yes. Love your spouse even when you don't want to. Doing that is a 24/7 job. Sometimes it's not easy but the rewards are great.
- superdoofus, on 10/23/2007, -2/+14while working at a hardware store throughout highschool and college, many elderly guys (married for decades) would come in with their "honey-do" lists. the one thing that most all of them would say while pulling out their checkbook is "happy wife: happy life."
- vidorian, on 10/25/2007, -0/+10After 15 years i can say the number 1 thing is love. And by love i mean putting your spouse's needs and wants above your own. When both do that it makes for a very happy marriage. In 15 years i can count the arguments we have had on one hand. Acceptance is a close second. Accept and love the person for who they are not for who you want them to be.
And it's a myth that you have sex less after marriage. If you are happily married you still want them just as much as the day you met. - UbIwerks, on 10/23/2007, -0/+9Sweet! You should write an 8 Ways to Die Alone article!
- jpfed, on 10/23/2007, -2/+11I tried this, but it just made my wife madder. Who knew? Turns out she liked the cat.
- Sizzor, on 10/23/2007, -1/+9An old couple once told me they went to a marriage therapist, and he told them to go out 2 nights a week. The husband goes out on Tuesday, the wife on Wednesday.
- Niddik, on 10/23/2007, -0/+8A friend once told me to "Keep thinking of your wife as your girlfriend."
- Xoherent, on 10/23/2007, -4/+11Hmm, I've happily been with my gay lover for eight years now. We would have been happily married all this time but apparently that doesn't exist for people like us.
- halavais, on 10/23/2007, -0/+7I have nothing against beer--it's tasty and refreshing.
But people who rely on beer as a cornerstone of their self-concept make me wonder what they are trying to hide. - Shawn4168, on 10/23/2007, -1/+8Hmm...funny how I don't drink beer, I'm happily married, and none of those apply to me...
- withoutashovel, on 10/23/2007, -1/+7True that. Problem is it's diificult for most guys, even though it sounds easy, especially since we're so involved in the digital age today.
- halavais, on 10/23/2007, -2/+7What did you want him or her to do, read it in a meaningful voice in a candlelit room? Email does a marriage good.
- sunkist22, on 10/23/2007, -1/+6Problem is, marriage is treated like a form of death for a man. Marriage is ridiculed constantly by comedians. It's dragged through the mud as a game in reality shows. Marriage should not be death... it should be no different than just having a relationship, except you have told your partner that you are committed to them. But if you *need* marriage to say that, you should evaluate why you are getting married.
Of course it helps to not find a naggy woman too.... which is why I dont make a lot of female friends, they're all wacky. - Neiby, on 10/23/2007, -0/+4These are superb tips, excellent advice for all. I would like to add one more thing you can do: Don't marry a manipulative bitch with deep-seated, unexpressed expectations. I learned that one the hard way.
- CameronCook, on 10/23/2007, -2/+6But if you do get married know this: Happy Wife Happy Life!!! :)
- newJxE, on 10/23/2007, -1/+5I have to strongly disagree with this. There's always going to be something more attractive when you're married and you're always going to wonder if you married the right person. Love and a marriage require a lot of work on both ends, not just having the right partner.
- accessviolation, on 10/23/2007, -2/+6I know a Russian dude who basically grew up drunk. When he moved to America he stopped drinking completely.
- Shawn4168, on 10/23/2007, -2/+6LOL @ you, because you'll never find somebody who would want to marry you.
- atbnet, on 10/23/2007, -0/+4As long as you are happy, who cares what the religious right forbids. They are very unhappy people and are hell bent on making sure no one else is either.
- CraigJ, on 10/23/2007, -0/+4then why get married in the first place?
- sunkist22, on 10/23/2007, -0/+3um... ok. Lay off the happy juice buddy.
- bgeek, on 10/23/2007, -0/+3+1 for you sir.
- Brianguy2000, on 10/23/2007, -3/+6It's all pretty common sense stuff but when you get married all of that goes out the window.
- Speaking, on 10/23/2007, -0/+3I prefer "Fight Naked" (advice given to my wife)
As a flawed guy in a happy marriage with a flawed women. It's better to not get to the place where both people are so disconnected, inconsiderate and uncompromising that you would have to fall asleep angry, that's a great way to start getting bitter. That being said; fight during the daylight, fighting tired is like fighting drunk. - Vermifax, on 10/23/2007, -0/+3#9. Marry the right person.
- CraigJ, on 10/23/2007, -1/+4Sorry. Beer is for pussies. Real straight men drink tequila or bourbon.
- Amablue, on 10/23/2007, -0/+2"But if you *need* marriage to say that, you should evaluate why you are getting married."
I strongly agree with this, and it is the reason I'm *not* getting married. I'm going to be with the girl I love, but I don't need a marriage certificate to make my relationship official or known. - CraigJ, on 10/22/2007, -0/+2you're not kidding, buddy.
- UbIwerks, on 10/23/2007, -2/+4Act like a man, sissy.
- moospot, on 10/23/2007, -0/+2Amen to that. But try finding a girl who doesn't need that validation.
- carpespasm, on 10/23/2007, -0/+1yeah, but the tax breaks and being acknowledged by the state in theory shouldn't have anything to do with religion since we're supposed to have that whole separation of church and state thing going on.
- tj_walker_dvt, on 10/23/2007, -0/+1Duh....it just says "just be me."
=: )K - McTendo, on 10/23/2007, -0/+1I'm Christian and I agree with atbnet. Come on over to Toronto, Xoherent. There's even a yearly parade and everything celebrating your lifechoice.
- vinnyvenus, on 10/23/2007, -4/+59) Have lots of sex
- moospot, on 10/23/2007, -0/+1We will see how much of a man you are when you are getting steamrolled by your wife's lawyers.
- earther, on 10/23/2007, -0/+1There's communicating and then there's OVER communicating. Most men don't have the need or desire to discuss every issue that pops up in their mind.
- reaperhatch, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1Choosing the right partner means choosing the right partner for the right reasons. I have noticed that some guys choose a woman for the wrong reasons. I know a guy who is with a women he loves but she treats him like poop. all he says is "she is beautiful" and "I have no more money."
if you choose the right person i doubt that you need the read the article.
I think when choosing the right partner there must be:
-mutual admiration(SEXUAL AND PERSONALITY)
-respect.
-personalities that enhance's the other's life.
common traps are:
-he/she is hot(all i have to do is give her my credit card or i can be his door mat)
-he/she is perfect all they do is right even though they do not respect me - sunkist22, on 10/23/2007, -0/+1I don't. I was totally fine with staying with my boyfriend forever. We did get married, as it makes for a great party, and it made our families happy too i suppose.
But marriage didn't change our relationship one bit. We had been together long enough to know each other very well, and we already shared everything. - Scottamus, on 10/23/2007, -0/+1I can't imagine my wife would appreciate it if I communicated every time I thought "Damn look at that piece of ass over there. I'd totally hit that"
- Scottamus, on 10/23/2007, -0/+1Don't expect any blow jobs.
There, fixed it for you. -
