Congratulations NightCap424! Marriage is like a 2 way highway, 50-50. Listen to each other and compromise when needed.

Let her go to FtMyers and you go to LasVegas instead, LOL!!!

As the old saying goes Marriage is like an institution, if you like to live in institutions.

Congrats but understand life is going to change and be willing to embrace this change without embracing it, it will be tough. But if you do embrace it there is nothing better than having that partner there for you in the good times as well as the bad times. Good luck and best wishes

Make sure you know you can live with her first and know what to expect. Little annoyances add up. Make sure if you like to have guys night out she isn't going to expect you to trade that for dinner parties with her friends and their husbands. If you want someone who can go to work, then cook dinner make sure she is the type to do that or you'll be stopping for food on your way home every day. Don't spend too much time together - it will make the honeymoon phase last longer. Keep reminders or memories of what made you decide to be with her in the first place. No matter how in love you feel you are now, eventually love will become a choice. There will be times - especially if you don't have kids yet - where it seems much easier to just walk away. Write your own vows , or at least pick your own, it will make you think more about what you are really committing to. I could go on and on but I'm sure you get the point.

I am on my 2nd marriage. I was 20 when I married the first time and it lasted 3 1/2 years with no kids. I got married way too young. From 23-29, I lived the single life and partied hard for a few of those years. Ive been on my 2nd marriage almost 27 years and have 1 son who is 26. Here is the advice I give you to make a marriage work, take it for what its worth...


1. you must be best friends and soul mates
2. Give and take. You have to be allowed to do your things and she has to be allowed to do her things, within reason of course...
3. Be honest and open with each other
4. Do things together. I dont mean all the time, but you have to have a few good common interests. My wife and I go to Keeneland twice a year and spend a couple days at the track. She wants to go to every track in the country,lol.
5. Be faithful


you commit to those 5 things and most everything else willl fall into place...

Congrats man! A happy wife is a happy life! And if you ain't that knight in shiny armor, I guess I will be watching you confront your wife on the next episode of Cheaters!
