[quote=Anonymous]Your marriage needs care.  Your friends and family deserve a good wedding, a good baby shower, a good lots of things, but so do you and your spouse.  Remember that when making plans.  Don’t get fooled into the mindset of “You’re married, you can do that anytime”.

Remember that you fell in love by spending meaningful and wholesome time together and continue to do that in your marriage.  Plan your work schedules acordingly.

Know that while everybody in a marriage is an adult and is capable of meeting their own needs, that isn’t why you are married.  Remember to court each other.

Know that views and oppinions are not set in stone.  My husband has become more politically liberal since we got married.  I have not.

I am less willing to be told what to do by church leaders and other people in the community then I once was.  I tell my husband “I take requests, not assignments”.  I have become more aware that my time, energy and money are valuable, more so then I was when we first got married.

My husband always wanted to live in a walkable downtown area… and he has only recently admitted that they don’t work as well as advertised, at least not for us.

He has seen the value in a neighborhood pool and even in those smaller pools people have in their yard, the kind you get in walmart. When we got married, he had no idea why anybody would want to spend any time at a pool.

When you talk about things, know that you are getting to know the type of person not the views.

Know that divorce is always an option.  It shouldn’t be taken lightly, though nobody should have to live with a situation that is untenable to them. People change over time, the fun party boy becomes an alcoholic, the person who always had a place for a buddy to crash was fine until he couldn’t understand why you didn’t want to be around a friend who groped you or why being woken up once too many times in the middle of the night was no longer what you wanted to be doing.    The person who loved to feed the homeless couldn’t be bothered to have dinner with you. Knowing that you don’t have to stay if something gets too bad is worth keeping in mind.    [/quote]
