You'd rather pee on your roommates and get drunk.

How many of those do you get married though? Steak and a BJ should be put into the vows

One great thing for my wife & I was premarital counseling for us. When you marry in the Catholic church (I'm not anymore. Presperterian now. Weird how that worked out) you have to do this.

Anyways, got some great tips from our priest.

1 - Always protect your relationship. This basically means you don't put yourself in situations where problems could arise. It's not a lack of trust thing. It's a simply avoiding drama thing.

You could draw several examples from this:

- Say you have an argument with your wife. Do not confide in another woman telling them your story. Then that opens the door of her listening to your troubles and you possibly thinking. "This person understands me more". Guys? Fine. Women? no.

- Working in the office with someone who you find attractive. Honestly I would look to be sure that we do not become close friends. I probably would not go out to lunch with just her. etc. Not saying I'd be anti social. But I wouldn't even allow the possibility for any more attractiveness to grow.

2 - You guys are a team. There is no more my money and your money. Get joint accounts. It's our money. Make money decisions as a team.

I know married couples who have it split out. In once case the husband works and the wife stays at home to take care of the kid. He actually gives her an allowance. Yes I said an allowance. What is she 12? That's just not right IMO.

Just my 2 cents.

If you can find one....and you both like it.....find a wedding site that combines everything together for you.

We got married at a historic mansion in Northern California. The employees that worked their were certified everything (photographers, wedding planners, etc.). We had to go to monthly meetings to give them our ideas and then they would take those and make sure everything was planned, taken care of and on time. It honestly saved my wife a bunch of stress with the planning. She didn't have to worry about finding everything separately.

It worked out great for us......but if your wife wants to plan everything and she doesn't get stressed out.....you can do it yourself.

Oh, something else I've heard that makes sense...

Do not tell your parents (in particular, your mom) about any problems the two of you might have. You two may work it out and move on, but mommas hold grudges. Your problems should be between the two of you. If need be, an UNBIASED third party. Parents/family are not unbiased.
