Don't be afraid to stay you. I think sometimes women think when teu get married there is only the combined unit. But it's not it's a choice clearly by asking my family you can see that. But read lots of books or plenty of self exploration because if you are happy with you the. Your husband will be too. Compromise is always a given. Also I believe sometimes it's ok to go to bed mad of there is no more ground to be made as far as the discussion goes. My husband works an opposite schedule working nights so a lot of times one of us is half asleep and or half awake. Knowing your limits as in things that drive you crazy or things that are just annoying but deal able make sure he knows those things too. It's the little things that add and subtract from your relationship. Give and take.

I believe that reading and studying together Ephesians Chapter 5 will really help your marriage. I hope you both can spare some time to read it as it will be very useful and helpful. Congratulations in advance. I hope that your marriage will last a life time.

Pray that God will give you the wisdom to know you can not change another person, only yourself. No one can make you angry, upset, etc, you are responsible and you alone for how your feel Don't sweat the small stuff Be quick to listen Slow to speak Slow to anger quick to forgive Remember it is blessed to not pass on the pain all the best, urban

Just keep in mind that the guy you're marrying may not be the guy you dated (unless you did that 'living together before marrying'-thing, which Bible-beaters say is "sinful" but is really smart ... making sure you can live with the guy before you swear to forever).

Hi nicoled, Congratulation! Being a wife is a big responsibility yet it's very exciting and challenging. I think you just need to be with yourself and show your real you in to your husband and future kids. But always remember as a wife you have the the right right like you husband and need to share everything with him including household chores. Good luck

Work on your relationship every day. Do little things for each other that are nice. Talk and go out together. Try never to take your relationship for granted. A good marriage is one of life's greatest gifts, but it does take work.

Thanks a ton for posting this discussion. Well i am glad to hear about u being a first time wife and i extend my hearty congratulations to u. First of all i would like u to know more about your hubby like his likes and dislikes, then u should be able to cook well so that u can make your hubby happy when he is back home, u should have knowledge about how to manage an entire house in the absence of your hubby and more importantly always try to support and encourage your hubby in all his endeavors. What say?

Congrats to you. I would advise to communicate with one another as much as you can and be patient with one another and forgive. Good luck to you.
