Marriage advice.....

I'm a kinda selfish loving husband...

I am single thankfully. This is my outlook

Once upon a time, a Prince asked a beautiful Princess, "Will you marry me?" The Princess immediately said, "No!"​

And the Prince lived happily ever after, and rode motorcycles and dated thin, long-legged, full-breasted women and hunted and fished and raced cars, and went to titty bars and dated ladies half his age and drank whiskey, beer, and Captain Morgan, and never heard bitching and never paid child support or alimony, and dated cheerleaders and kept his house and guns, and ate spam and potato chips and beans, and blew enormous farts, and never got cheated on while he was at work, and all his friends and family thought he was friggin' cool as hell, and he had tons of money in the bank, and left the toilet seat up. The End.

To paraphrase if I ever think of getting married again I will find a woman I can't stand and give her a house.

My bad. I haven't paid much attention to the watercooler since the season started. Juggling my time between work, CFB, and the 7 month old grandson, "Scooter".

So I'll make this as short as possible.

I read a lot of great things in this thread. Folks here know from experience what being married for a long time requires. My take comes from spending most of my life doing it wrong. That said, here a few of my takes.

1. Men think, women feel. When there are arguments, this is stated over and over. All of you can relate. During the argument, the man says, "I think, blah blah blah.......", the woman says, "I feel like............" or "I don't feel like........"

2. Men and women are different, but equal. Yes, we are from different planets, both physically and mentally, but it takes both of us for a marriage to exist. Treat each other accordingly.

3. Be yourself from beginning to end. Don't try to become what you THINK they are asking you to be. You will inevitably guess wrong.

4. Nobody is perfect. You are wrong as often as she is. Don't focus on her imperfections. Accept your own first.

5. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. Life gives you good days and bad days. Those ups and downs are life's heartbeat. Don't let life's EKG flatline. Embrace both and talk about this often during the struggles of marriage and the good times. Particularly the good times. Remind each other that, although everything is great right now, another struggle is out there waiting for us to get to it.
