Whether the advice is to get in good with a jewellery design company or stay out of trouble by thinking before you speak, common and cliche ' marriage advice still applies. It's the man's job to make sure he doesn't do something stupid.
There's lots of trite and cliche ' advice about marriage, but some of it is repeated so frequently because it's absolutely true. Which pieces of marriage advice appear the most genuine and authentic? Let's have a look.
We've scraped the Internet looking for good advice from long term couples, and we came up with these. You may have already heard many of them before, but they seem to be really excellent advice to us. So here are some pieces of marriage advice â€" all significant but some a bit wittier than others â€" that long term married couples seem to agree on:
Never go to bed mad. Notice this is more correct than the similar phrase "never go to bed mad". You can head off to bed mad and, uh, work it out before going to sleep, we are told. Kissing good night and reminding your partner that you adore them is also a good idea. How can you expect a good morning if you start the night off wrong?
Find time for your partner. It may seem obvious, but some couples never really spend quality time together. Sitting side by side and watching television may not count, and the moments spent desperately preparing for work don't either. Special time needs sharing a top notch experience and truly enjoying each other's company.
Accept your other half. You were attracted in the beginning, and those few issues didn't appear obvious or overwhelming then. If it is her bad fashion sense or his hatred of washing every day since he doesn't appear to sweat anyhow, just get over it.
Get a larger mattress. It's amazing how many couples with expanding waistlines still sleep in a very little bed. Try to not gain weight, naturally, but if you do, buy a new mattress which will accommodate you. It will not offend your partner. She has already noticed the issue too. Anyway snoring and cover-hogging are not as critical if you have got some room to move around.
Be friends first. Maybe it's too late for you now, but the best partners are those who are friends first and lovers second. As you grow old, you'll always need a friend. Circumstances change nevertheless , and having a good lover may become less vital.
Count to 10. Whether you are about to chastise your wife for doing something wrong, scream because you can't stand your life anymore or simply tell her that her dress isn't flattering, count to 10 before you assert anything â€" anything at all. Then, you'll have the time to engage your grey matter before your mouth begins moving, and that can keep you from saying something offensive that you didn't actually mean.
Offer a gift. When you have done something wrong, when she's done something right and for every birthday and anniversary, give her a present that reminds her how much you love her. Whether it's a card and flowers for absolutely no reason at all or a attractive piece of custom-designed jewellery to mark a special anniversary, giving gifts helps you demonstrate love when your actions and words fail you.
These are just a few of many pieces of advice we found. The final analysis is this: Be nice, react slowly and don't take your spouse or wife as read.
