Once you are married it's all gravy from there on out. Money problems go away, and OMG don't even get me going on about the sex. We are talking about constant crazy sex. She will constantly do things to you the you only dream about now. Immediately after the wedding my in-laws became my best friends. I can't say enough wonderfull things about my father in-law, or dad as I now call him. All those petty little fights over stuff like curtains, or having friends over for poker will dissappear. My wife begs me to have my friends over for poker. She will take the kids to the back and let us play all night long. She only comes out the get us more beer and to compliment me on how much she loves the smell of cigar smoke. Oh, and get ready to be the king of the castle. Because a married woman is only concerned for her husbands happiness. No more will she try to change you. She'll just be glad she snagged such a great man and appreciate you for who you are. I've be married for going on 11 years and it seems like only 11 seconds. Congrats!!!!

The first 5 years are the toughest but if you can get through it and you actually like each other it gets better. The main thing is not trying to change each other, understand you're both different people with different wants and needs and never let petty jealousy or insecurity get in between each other's happiness. That's my take anyway, it's worked for me for 14 years.

The first 23 years are the hardest. Turns out I only made it 22. :lol:

Listen. Stop embarrassing yourself in front of the guys. Your arse is sunk. Would you step in front of a school of piranha in a feeding frenzy? Would you tug on Superman's cape? Do you really think that you will have any say over whether things get done in Florida or New Jersey?

Seasoned advice:

  1. Practice "uh-huh". Say it right now, "uh-huh".
  2. Anytime you get asked a question, respond with "what do you think?" This is very important. You can ask it during a football game and she or her mother or whatever will then talk and talk.
  3. Stay alert. When you hear her take a breath, say "uh-huh".
  4. Make eye contact from time to time and nod knowingly. Do it right now while looking in the mirror, nod knowingly.
  5. Now, say "uh-huh".
Advanced course:

  1. Look for signs of frustration. If her speech begins to slow or she rotates into your field of vision to see if you are really listening, this is a dangerous situation.
    1. Do not panic even if caught.
    2. Look into her eyes and keep smiling.
    3. Nod knowingly.
    4. Then say, "I think you might really be on to something there."
  2. Master technique. Use this only if she is showing frustration or beginning to slow down and it is during an important point in the game.
    1. Look at her and then look away toward the television.
    2. Now, look back and say, "You know, the more I think about this, the more I think that you may be right. But I guess what I am wondering is, how do feel about that? "
Now, get on back to it. Put these masterful insights into practice and keep the code. Bros before...oh, nevermind...

He lies. It's like SEC speed. They always lie. The first fifty years are the hardest. Then, shortly afterward, you die.

However, forewarned and forearmed with the knowledge imparted in this thread, you can survive it.

I proposed almost a year ago. We're not getting married until September. We're having it in a Big Old [censored]ing Church here in Cincinnati, and short of eloping it's about as hassle-free as one could expect. It was one of the few places around her that would marry two people "living in sin", and the nice thing is that they have a whole list of [censored] you can't do in their church, so it takes a lot of the BS off the table right from the start.

It's going to be a traditional wedding, but so far she seems to want as little bull[censored] as one could realistically hope for. Her parents are paying for the wedding & reception. I'm just sitting back while she does her thing. I only really speak up when I hear something that will put my family or friends out of their way. As long as we have a big beer bash after the ceremony and get to go to Maui for 10 days after that I'm OK for now. The biggest obstacle we're having is my future mother-in-law. There's a lot of stuff she wants and my fiancee is having to tell her to back off. It's about being traditional, not about who's spending the money - yet, at least.

I couldn't agree more with the idea of living together before getting married. I've lived with my fiancee for almost four years. You need to know if you can tolerate the little [censored], because that's the stuff that will probably make you go crazy, bang a hostess at a club and then get the back window of your Escalade busted out with a golf club.
