I just thought I would ask considering I am walking down the Aisle in 22days LOL I am really excited about getting married to the one I love. What is your best advice and thoughts on the subject?

The best things about getting married:

You're almost never lonely.

You get some whenever you want.

You now have someone to blame when your favorite snack goes missing from the fridge and you don't sleepwalk.

You have someone to help snap you back into reality when you're staring at 200 dollar boots (which I do do, which is why I can't buy my boots at the mall).

You have someone who will take care of you when you're sick.

You spend less money because you're not out partying as much anymore.

If you didn't have a best friend, you do now.

I love the safety and security of it.
Basically, I love having someone to share my life with.....all of it!

Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials!

Here are a couple of great things about being married:

There is someone to share the good times and the bad.

Knowing that there is someone who knows you so well that they can finish your sentences, be familiar with all of your little quirks , have seen you at your worst--yet they love you anyway.

My advice to you:

Talk much, laugh often and say "I love you" everyday.

One of the best things about being married is having my best friend with me for the rest of my life.

My best piece of advice is an old tried and true one ~ Don't go to bed angry with one another and always kiss each other good night. It is always a transistion when you marry and will be times when you just want to ring his neck, but always remember the wonderful traits that make you love him.

The best thing about being married is not being alone. I always having a friend to do things with. There's always someone to go shopping with, to travel with, to share the work and to share the trouble with.

Even after 17 years of marriage I look forward to him coming home each day.

You get to spend lots of time with your best buddy since you married him.

Knowing someone always has your best interest at heart and will help you out.

That I can just be me in front of this person and he has accepted me for me.

**Marie78** · 11-07-2008, 10:48 PM

He's my best friend.

I am never lonely, because he is always there for me.

He comforts me when no one else can.

He knows everything about me and vise versa and yet we still love each other.

We are starting a family together and he is running out to get oatmeal chocolate chip cookies at 11 pm tonight, just because I am craving them.

Someone to snuggle up on the couch with and just watch tv........oh, and while they stroke your hair!

Actually, 99% of things that make marriage great are things that come from love - whether you are actually married or not doesn't make any difference :-)

What usually comes with being married is a new feeling of responsibility. You might always have wanted to support your spouse, but now you have to - it may change the perspective you have on many things. It may sometimes be difficult, but it can also be very satisfying.
Secondly, being married gives you a lot of extra motivation to work on your relationship, to keep the love going. Getting a divorce is EXPENSIVE, the money can be invested into much more pleasurable things

And, of course, weddings usually mean CAKE! Cake is a truly good thing! :p (We had left-over cake for every meal for several days after our wedding)

You get to see your best friend everyday.

You have someone who will give you a back or foot massage.

There's someone to take care of you when you aren't feeling well.

Whenever you face a hardship, you don't have to face it alone.

~You have your best friend by your side always
~There is always someone to take care of your when you're sick
~Knowing there is always someone on your side
~Your spouse can see you at your absolute worst, and loves you for who you are no matter what
~Always having someone to snuggle with
There's just so many things that are wonderful about marriage. Best of luck to you in your new marriage. When you get frustrated with your spouse, just try to remember why you fell in love with them in the first place.

You are going to love being married. Dh and I received some advice when we got married it may seem kinda silly but it's the little things that count in marriage so I'll pass it on: Never leave a room that both you and dh are in without asking him if there is something you can get him (drink, snack whatever) and of course that goes for him too. Like I said it seems stupid but trust me it's those little touches, not the huge flowers, candlelight, and chocolate moments that make the difference.
