    compromise, trust, honestly and stay connected somehow (either go on dates or make some quality time with each other); this is what makes my marriage work.

    Talk everything out and LISTEN to each other without interruption.

    If your husband suggests having only one e-mail between the two of you, run far and fast.

    ROFLMAO

    The wife deals with the little things.
    The husband deals with the big things.

    The wife gets to sort what is little and what is big.

    Check his texts daily.

    And his internet history (seriously... *this* has gotten me tons of hugs and kisses </sarc>)

    No really, I'd recommend the internet history too. Knowing about his fascination with "hot teenage porn" probably would've opened my eyes a little before I married him...

    Any man worth being with, won't care if you check his texts, email, or internet history...lol.

    Seriously.

    Meh, we both have our passwords saved on the computers... so it's super easy to access our facebook profiles, emails and the like... and we generally don't check up on each other just because wrong conclusions can be made, but it usually doesn't matter because we don't do or say anything that would disrespect the other (at least not intentionally).

    Kort, this is what I'm talkin' about
    Key to any good marriage for a man:

    sex on demand (at request and the type asked for)

    When he's been a good boy... good is determined by you.
    sammiches and beer on demand.

    After he gives you a a pedi, direct him to the fridge.
    Leave him alone the rest of the time

    With the kids and the housework.

    lol! I agree. I'll hand over all my usernames/passwords for everything, and I wouldn't care a bit. I have nothing to hide and I kind of feel if i was curious, he should feel the same.

    Be nice to each other! Don't fall into the trap of talking to each other in a way you'd never talk to a friend or stranger.

    My standard "check his text" comment has stirred *kitten*, as expected. Excellent!

    Remember, he is your master and you are his slave. Whatever he asks, you do. NO QUESTIONS ASKED. He better come home to a warm meal, silent children and you standing naked at the door. No exceptions.

    Good luck.

    1. Sex is the glue which holds a marriage together. (Given to me by my 50-something year old cousin)
    2. Always speak to each other with the same respect with which you'd speak to a colleague at work. (Same cousin)
    3. Never tell your family when you two are fighting big time. You'll forgive and forget, but they never will.
    4. Never bring up the big "D" for 6 months surrounding any big life change (move, new job, kid, etc)...and try to agree never to bring it up at all.
    5. Sex. A lot. With each other, preferably.

    Good luck, and congratulations.

    Make time for each other. No matter how long you're together, you still need each other.
    agree

    I'm seriously hoping that was tongue in cheek....

    Be honest ALWAYS, especially when it comes to money matters. Have a date night at least once a week, life has a way of taking over, try not to go to bed mad, don't say things that are permanently hurtful because you are temporarily upset and remember the things that made you want to marry him/her in the first place.

    Never stop flirting.

    When you have kids just remember, they're passing through and will move out one day. Your spouse will (hopefully) be there for life so don't focus all your attention on your kids. They'll be better off if you have a good, strong marriage and they aren't the center of the universe! (And the rest of the universe will appreciate you for not making more special little snowflakes.)

    A good wife is good at making their hubby feel like he's in charge even if he's really not. :laugh:

    My husband says this all the time, it sounds more like "Honey, you and I both know you are the boss in this relationship but around our friends can we make it look like its me....even if they really know the truth."

    Date Night is a must....and not with friends....every now and then do a "just the two of us" date night!!

    I'm sure he'd prefer something else in cheek...

    These replies are far too serious, people. :angry:

    Please, more trolling.

    OK, since this is from the OP, I'll dip into the sarcasm file:

    After the wedding, introduce him as your FIRST husband.

    Have separate bathrooms.
