Wise words for newlyweds

Last month I wrote a post talking about the large number of my friends who got engaged or married in December. In the article I asked my married friends to write in the Comments, giving their advice for my newly-engaged and newly-married friends.

Many thanks to all of you who responded to my request and shared with us lessons learned. Here are some my favourite quotations…

Daily Life

“Always put God first. Don’t plan God around your life, make him the center of it”

“Pray together, grow spiritually with one another, and learn to be patient with each other. If you have a Godly perspective, the love you share for each other will be amazing”

“Happy wife = happy life” 😉

“Keep romance alive”

“Never go to bed angry”

“Tell her you love her and she’s beautiful every day. It helps her feel like what you see everyday”

Attitude

“Don’t sweat the small stuff”

“Learn to laugh at yourself…and have a sense of humor”

“Your spouse has a lot to teach you…don’t be a ‘know it all'”

Unity

“It’s not all about you, as a single person…always remain open with your spouse when it comes to the goals in life”

“As a wife, you MUST trust your husband… When you have a good husband, a wife need not worry what her husband asks of her”

Communication

“Marriage is about communication & compromise”

“There will be times of miscommunication”

“Nothing is so important that you cant stop and listen”

“It’s okay to be wrong. Expect to apologize once in awhile & always forgive your spouse, too”

Is there anything you think they missed?
