johnf Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Only post if you've been married for 5+ years (to the same person:p). Or I guess if you've been married 5+ times you could give a list of don'ts. Laughing at a problem is usually better than yelling at it.

craig mack Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 You will never be right. I know this will be hard for you but just say I'm sorry I was wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Based on a post you made a month or so ago, you are well on your way. Just nod your head, say "hmmm," every now and then, or "I can't believe he/she said that." DO NOT TRY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. WOMEN DO NOT WANT SOLUTIONS, THEY WANT EARS. I hope you like taking care of 2 vehicles. Get rid of the cat. Get rid of the dog. If you don't like nice stuff, by all means, plan children. I'll let Ray and Elanora, and Steve know you won't be coming down anymore--clearly your free time is no longer free. LOL--OK, most of that is tongue in cheek. But a lot of it isn't.

NS whitetail Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 never park your truck in the driveway where your wife can hit it with her car -- because it will always be your fault :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Remember Muggs, if your out in the woods, on your deerstand and your wife is not around to hear you say something.....your still wrong! Enjoy your prison sentence, its not bad at all, sometimes you get 3 squares a day and if your lucky visiting the inlaws won't be that bad!! Enjoy the honeymoon for as long as you too can before the kids start arriving, once they do, life has changed forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnf Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Don't do anything the first 6 months that you don't want to do for the next 50 years. ie. dishes, cooking, toilets:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Finn Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Things will be pretty much the same.....you'll still have lists of things that are to be done on weekends. When you're married, the list will never be in your writing Golf alot before you have kids. Those first 7-10 years of the kids being around, golf time is limited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 If you can cook, don't be braggin about it. If a discussion (argument;)) is going nowhere, just apologize. You were wrong anyway. Don't ask to go hunting.. ...big No - No. Just say you're going, and don't give her an exact time when you'll be home, because if you're late...you pay. OH...and don't tell her there are lots of bears in the area you're going too, or share any close bear encounters with her, if you want to continue hunting there without getting told you can't. When she speaks...look at her. It sure beats getting wacked with whatever in the back of the head. and last but not least: Don't let the sun go down, while you are still angry.

johnf Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Repeat from another thread. Buy everything you want now. Don't worry about debt, that will just get worse anyway, but you'll have your stuff. I've been waiting on a 4 wheeler for 6 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA_Spike_King Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I've been waiting on a 4 wheeler for 6 years. Good thing my wife loves to ride my 4wheeler and snowmobiles I have been married for almost 14 years and thank goodness we have a great relationship. I don't complain most of the time but we have our times and we get over things pretty quick. Just remember life goes both ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washi Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 You will never be right. I know this will be hard for you but just say I'm sorry I was wrong. That's probably why I'm not married and never will be. I just can't say that I'm wrong when I know I'm right. It runs in the family, on both sides, and so does stubbornness so it won't change.

unioncountyslayer Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 This was 65 years of marriage advice from my Grandfather the day before I got married at our rehersal dinner. "You can be RIGHT, or you can be HAPPY." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lauri Jo Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Never go to sleep angry and ALWAYS, ALWAYS kiss her good night. Lest I forget-men are ALWAYS wrong, women are ALWAYS right-just say you're sorry. Good luck and Congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, some of that is about right. Really seriously Eric, if she is at all understanding, try to help her stay that way by being patient as possible, kind of goes back to this "Just remember, you will never be "right" again!

bowin_in_illinois Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I'll be married 16 years this Friday...and I love it. All joking aside (I know these guys are "mostly" being funny)...what makes a good marriage is knowing your role as a husband...and that is to be the leader. Marriage doesn't work with 2 chiefs. Listen to what your wife has to say...value her opinion...but you make the final decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Just one simple word.......RESPECT. Make sure you respect her and she respects you. Once that is lost the marriage won't last long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 This is a simple test, to make sure you've got the right girl. Plant a big kiss on her, and then blow real hard. If she just chokes and laughs, she's a keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildside Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Just one simple word.......RESPECT. Make sure you respect her and she respects you. Once that is lost the marriage won't last long. Yep, respect for each other and for yourselves as the individuals you are. Don't lose that. It's possible to "be one" and not forget who you are in the process. I'd also add this - whenever speaking about each other to anyone, do your best to shine the spotlight on what is good about your spouse instead of complaining about every little thing that isn't. Build each other up as opposed to tearing each other down - both require energy, yet only one is truly productive. Worship and pray together. And have fun together! Sharing life with the one you love can be nothing short of awesome. Celebrating its highs and growing through its lows - together. Oh yeah, and, when you each enjoy the outdoors, there's that benefit of having someone to share your hunting/fishing stories with. . . maybe even be there with you in the woods or wading the stream when those memories are being made. . . .
