Last month I wrote a post<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

\"flowers\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Many thanks to all of you who responded to my request and shared with us lessons learned.\u00a0Here are some my favourite quotations…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Daily Life<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“Always put God first. Don\u2019t plan God around your life, make him the center of it”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“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”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“Happy wife = happy life” \ud83d\ude09<\/em><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“Keep romance alive”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“Never go to bed angry”<\/em><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“Tell her you love her and she\u2019s beautiful every day.\u00a0It helps her feel like what you see everyday”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Attitude<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“Don\u2019t sweat the small stuff”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“Learn to laugh at yourself…and have a sense of humor”<\/em><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“Your spouse has a lot to teach you\u2026don\u2019t be a ‘know it all'”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Unity<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“It\u2019s not all about you, as a single person…always remain open with your spouse when it comes to the goals in life”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“As a wife, you MUST trust your husband…\u00a0When you have a good husband, a wife need not worry what her husband asks of her”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Communication<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“Marriage is about communication & compromise”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“There will be times of miscommunication”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“Nothing is so important that you cant stop and listen”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s okay to be wrong. Expect to apologize once in awhile & always forgive your spouse, too”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Is there anything you think they missed?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
