First of all congrats on your marriage. May god bless you with happiness. You are moving to a new city. Just be yourself, don't take any tensions as this is the begging of your married life. Both Husband and Wife should understand each feelings and problems and help each other. Then see life goes smoother. All the best my friend. Anyways which city are you from?

Just don't put too much pressure now that you are married. Just be yourselves but always be reminded that instead of focusing on your own wants and needs, there is another person whom you should take in consideration all the time.

i just married last year. and now we are living together abroad. it is quite difficult at first because of the adjustments and financial pressures of living abroad. however, we are slowly getting used with the discussions and arguments. we believe that they are necessary for the two of us to really get to know each other. we are still struggling to agree on things, but we agree and decide to live together until we live.

Oh okay..thats good one to think and to discuss with my partner. Ofcourse if discussions or arguments are not involved we cannot know each other completely..

The first year is always difficult as you learn to adjust to each other and live together. Most people experience difficulty at first

having to purchase material things that you need to start living comfortably with wifey, and the need to make her happy, are two different things. i suggest you buy things because you need them. try planning what to buy asking her what she thinks you two will need most. do not buy everything at once as you will be needing some money for other things.
• India
10 Apr 13
yeah thats exactly correct and good suggestion as well..i will sit with my partner and list out the things to buy immediately we both needed so to avoid unnecessary things..also prepares a list what to purchase next month or in next 3-6months..slowly filling with the required things for home..thanks for the advise dear..

Married for three years now (it's actually our anniversary today, hehe). We started living with his mother for one year and decided to have our own apartment instead. Since I have a home-based online job, we waited for the connection first before moving in the new house. We even bought a new laptop that is energy efficient and much tougher since we have a kid. But before moving in, we already bought a fridge, rice cooker, gas stove and airpot (for boiling water). Luckily, we managed to inherit my husband's old TV, old automatic washing machine, old airconditioner and two electric fans. We still used them since they're still in working conditions and need not to be repaired. We considered the space of the apartment so we bought pieces that have multi-function and space saver. Our dinning table and TV are wall-mounted. Our chairs are ottomans, so it serves as storage too. And we choose a sofa-bed for ourselves and the guests for easy storage. So, take note of the space and your lifestyle before buying appliances and furniture. Good luck and congratulations! Have a happy married life! ;)

I think you should relax and should not feel tension. I think you should try to take life as normal and do things in a normal way. I hope everything gets well for you.

Okay ajithlal..i will try to do normally but I think we should know what our partner need and have to fulfill them as a surprise to them..who don't like surprises?everyone does..and if the surprise is the one what they really wanted..then the situation will be amazing i believe..what do you say..

Involve you wife is every major decision - don't make decisions on your own because you are in a partnership now. Keep all lines of communication open and discuss you feelings and LISTEN to what she is saying too. show that you care for her in little ways. By the way, n one is happy all of the time and problems will happen but it is how you handle them that will make the difference

Wow.. just got married! congratulations! and good luck to the new chapter of your life.. I'm not yet married but since you allowed not married people to give their opinions..I don't mind to share mine... for me, first of all, ask your wife if she is amenable of that movement, it doesn't mean that you work there you are now going to live there, how about asking first your wife about it,..? did she love to move to other city? .When it comes of choosing a new house, furniture, and other details of your new house let your wife decide on it..girls wants to get involved always on that aspect. Above all things, what's the most important is "Open communication " ..most of the girls wants to know everything about her husband or partner' everyday's activity .. so try to be open to her...

take it easy. try to initiate yourself being a married man. making your wife happy is a good thing to do as a husband. be constant that way until forever. your decision is good in terms of financial earnings. maybe you'll excel that way and show up in life. you are now about to start a life being married to the one you love. and to be more progressive, do not forget God to be the center of everything you have or you might have in life. as much as you want to solicit thoughts from us, it is much better if all of your decisions will be uplifted to HIM, and for sure - He will pacify all your needs. just have faith in HIM. God bless:)

i have been married for two years,but i was acquainted with my husband fourteen years ago.we are first love to each other,so i cherish my husband and our marriage.as the time goes by,we have become more and more important in each other's heart,although sometimes we quarreled with each other, we solved the problem immediately,don't retain it till tomorrow morning.i can't suggest you anything,because you lead your lives by youselves.others' experiences don't fit for you .but one point is forever,having consideration for your partner in every moment.

Hi there - the key to a sound and everlasting relationship is to ensure that you look after yourself and that you are happy in what you are doing. In other words, put yourself as the priority. This may sound contradictory because the initial response is to strive to keep your partner happy, but in fact you should be keeping yourself happy. Over time your efforts may become resentful and you will find that you haven't grown and developed yourself, and have consequently become a big blank. If you are happy and are growing within yourself, then the relationship will be sound and similarly develop

Not bad malcomb..but if I start being myself i guess it may creates some gaps with my partner in some sensitive areas...so i will try to be myself if i went out and will be herself if i am home or in any family matters discussions etc..

I suggest treat your wife in a sweet and loving way. I think give time for yours and her hobbies to give happiness. Moving can be stressful so make sure you plan you move carefully. You should draw on graph paper you new kitchen and plan which products you want to buy like fridge, freezer, cooker and washing machine. Try to make your lounge or living room relaxing with a comfortable seats, a television and a stereo. Make your bedroom superbly comfortable with good quality bedding. Have a place for everything and have everything in its place. I suggest take one vacation a year and on it take photos. You should be able to build up some happy memories with your wife. Good luck.

hi. Just be yourself and always keep the fire burning. Never have any expectations because your partner can't be compared to anybody else. Open communication is also needed. No one is better than the other or no one is superior over another when it comes to family issues. Both should make the decision. There will surely be fights and misunderstandings and you need to be wise how to handle them. Read books about starting a family and keeping a family. Also, read about how to take of each other. Most of all, always pray. God should become the foundation of your marriage and family.

Honestly, I think that the most important thing that you can do when starting out in a new marriage is to make sure that your lines of communication with your husband are open. You should always be able to talk to him about everything that is going on in your life. In addition to that, another thing that I think is important for a successful marriage is to make sure and not go to bed angry. This is something that makes it easier for couples to work out the differences that will inevitably happen during a marriage.

Hi, Here's wishing you a long and happy married life. The way marriage keep on ending on the rocks, you may need all of it in the days to come. It is hard to maintain a normal lifestyle after you decided to settle down for good, problems seem to crop up in the most inopportune time and threatening to tear down the foundation you have laboriously build all these time. One thing that you should not forget is to be a good friend to your partner. You can always be lovers but friendship seem to be a vital component in a relationship to make it last. When love fails as it oftentimes will, the last friendly talk between two sober and rational parties could save the day and the future as well.

very simple yar. take at least once in a week hang out with your wife to some nice place in your city. whenever your wife goes for shopping accompany her. understand her needs and try to full fill her needs even before she asks for it. dont ever let ego come in between you and your wife because ego destroys relationships. when ever a decision needs to be taken pertaining to your family always consult your wife. give her some pleasant surprises now and then during her birthday, marriage day etc...
