Always keep seperate checking accounts
No TV in the bedroom
Always keep a date night
Let your spouse be right once in a while even when you know they are wrong.

These are the ones I remembered the most.

-I think the checking account thing can work either way, depending on the spending habits of the couple in question.
-Gotta have a tv in the bedroom (take that how you wanna, heehee, there are numerous reasons!)
-Date nights are a MUST, especially when kids come into the picture
-I agree with the last comment also!

All Kidding aside. Not to sure about this one. When you get married you have to become as one. Dont fall into the PC crap of you do your thing i will do mine. Its a deadly mistake.

You will have ups and downs, but you have to have the mind set that you love that person and that it is a forever thing. If you run when things are bad. you will run from everyone you ever meet. It cant be hearts and roses all the time. But when you are the one being an @ss make sure you are not to proud to say you are sorry you are an @ss.

This advice is SOOOO true, and I do this all the time. Act like a butthead and then apologize for it! Very important to be able to admit when you're wrong, or when you're just being plain 'ol sh*tty, hehe!

I feel the same way. We opened a joint when we got engaged in March. We love it. In fact we save money that way.

The above advice was submitted by an authority on the subject. If you have @ss questions in the future please be sure to see Biscuit.

I think so, too. That way any leftover $$ can be allocated as decided by both of you, for the good of both of you. When there are seperate accounts each person usually spends the leftover $$ to suit themselves - usually harder to save that way. I can see bene's of seperate accounts too, though, and know several people who work it that way. The $$ issue was their only problem, and they got rid of it by splitting accounts. Hey, whatever works!

Always Remember to that @ss once a night.

Kain remember two @ss are better than one.

Yep - seperate checking accounts. Mine is balanced to the penny - his is within $50 of the actual balance.

Yep - no TV in the bedroom - only two things ya do in there - sleep and sex.

Yep - still go on "dates" - last night was Mexican night - no cooking or dishes to clean up!

Yep - sometimes it not worth the fight and just let it die. Pick your battles wisely and don't sweat the small stuff.

We've been together for 21 years and married for 18, so it works for us.

I've heard "older" couples talk about having your own checking account.. I don't buy into that.. As long as neither person is really anal about what the money is being used for, it is much easier to just keep 1 account..

As for TV in the bedroom.. No problem with that..

Tips for newly married couples (or soo to be married)

All women should set up a personal account at Lowes, Home Depot, and Best Buy for buying those important things all men need.

All men should set up accounts at Victoria's Secret, FTD, Bath and Body works, and Hallmark for buying those important things all women love.. And to be extra nice, open an account with Godiva as well..

* Fight fairly

* No name calling

* in arguements, only agrue about the topic at hand, do not bring up the past

* Don't hold a grudge

* Keep the date night!

* try to remember why you fell in love in the first place.

And how many of these do we all really follow when the fight first breaks out!

 

[jeneisen]

I agree with those too but it is very hard to not bring up the past especially if it happened before. We don't fight that much anyway just bicker every once in a while.


So what are most of the fights about? Sex, kids, money, etc. We argue more about money than anything, but its never enough to cause problems.

 

[Kain99]

Refrain from Yo' Momma statements and whatever you do never ever call you spouse his or her Momma's name......

Right Biscuit?????

It takes practice and a lot of effort!!

Some have more opportunity than others.

The first thing you want to do is to make sure you have the same Goals in life. If you don't, Get the heck out now and avoid the court cost. Depending on what you mean by it has happened before? Come on we need more dirt!
