In three days I get married. Any words of wisdom for a young man about to travel through the depths of Mordor for the first and hopefully only time?

are Yankee viewpoints?
I probably have what many in Mississippi consider "Yankee" viewpoints. My wife probably has some "Yankee" viewpoints? Is she not a southern girl? By the way, to anyone who doesn't live in the Untied States, we are all Yankees. |

If it works for those guys, great, but I'm with you on this one. Marriage is not a business partnership, it should be an emotional bonding of two people
into one cohesive household. The multiple bank accounts (in my mind) basically says, 1. "I don't trust you to handle money I might want to get my
hands on" or 2. "I might want to buy lots of stuff I don't want you to see, so I'm going to have my own private horde about which you will
never know the amount."
Each of us have a little "fun money" and we both know it, but it's just a couple hundred bucks at any one time. Also, I don't think most couples have enough left over after savings, bills, groceries, and gas to let each person tuck away $200 - $500 every single month in play money.

You have to be happy and she has to be happy for the marriage to work.
In order for that to happen, each of you should have some free time for hobbies or gathering with your own friends -----alone. Nothing good comes from being married to someone that bitches every time you step foot out the door.....and you need to be the same way. When you have kids, it's even more of a necessity.....you have to have your own time. Just be honest and do what you say you are going to do.....and return when you say you are going to return. If you choose the right person, there is nothing greater......the wrong person and you'll live in hell on earth. Good luck |

You don't want to fight all the time and marraige is give and take so make sure you are giving on the stuff that is not all that important to you and taking on the things that you view as life and death.. |

We have talked about many of the aforementioned topics such as budget, money, religion, in-laws, etc. We have been dating for three years and she is the
coolest chick I've ever met which would make sense why I'm marrying her. We have gone through a lot already and family and friends have all harped on
the same issues that y'all have. It seems that we are getting some good advice even from everybody... even my nafoom friends.

I don't understand the "no sex after marriage" stuff.... | #52 | ||

Posts: 103 May 15, 2008 6:24 PM |
I have been married 11 years and my wife loves sex as much, or more, than I do. I can count on one hand the number of times that I have been turned down for
a romp. I think it just depends on your girl and how sexual she is. Does she love sex now? If so, I think she probably will love it in the future. We
don't do it every night, but it is extremely rare for us to go more than 3-4 days without it.
I agree with what RidgeReb84 said. Blowjobs are not totally out, but you do have to earn them. You scratch her back, and she will probably scratch your's. However, I don't agree on having separate bank accounts. I have a friend that has done this for years and they have a terrible marriage. They don't communicate well and don't seem trust each other. Good luck man!!

Do the math | #53 | ||

Doing the math on the Paul McCartney-Heather Mills divorce.
After 5 years of marriage, he paid her $49 million Plus, whatever he spent on her while married to her! Assuming he banged her every night during their 5 year relationship (and having been married, we all know THAT doesn't happen), it ends up costing him $26,849 per boinking, not counting attorney's fees, court costs and the incidental costs of being married to her. On the other hand, Elliot Spitzer's call girl Kristen charges $4,000 an hour. And that's Crazy, right? But... get this! Had Paul McCartney employed Kristen for 5 years, he would've paid $7.3 million for an hour of sex every night for 5 years (a savings of $41+million). PLUS!!! Value-added benefits are: A HOT 22 year old babe, no begging, no coaxing, never a headache, wide open menu, ability to put BOTH legs around you, no bitching and complaining or any 'to do' lists. Best of all, she leaves when you're done, and comes back the next day, ready for another round. All at 1/7th the cost, with no legal fees. NOW, is it just me, or is this the kind of math quiz they should be teaching in our schools?

Seriously, let her know how you plan on things going. If you don't want kids, tell her that. That's one mistake I made. I've been married for 13
years next month and NOW she wants kids and well, let's just say that I do NOT want kids. Also if you hunt, fish, golf, etc... she should know that you
plan on continuing to do those things, and whether you would want her to accompany you on those outings. I hunt and fish a lot, and I do it to get away from
things. Not to have conversations in the boat or the duck blind.

Some of you guys must be miserable. I am married. My wife doesnt shop. She doesn't spend much money. She cleans the house twice a week. She mows the lawn
and fixes everything, including lawnmower, etc. She cant cook that great but I can so we do it together and that is a good thing. She makes sure I always have
good beer in the fridge. She brings me one when I ask. She likes sports. She likes going to games. She likes going to the casino. She likes going to concerts.
She is down for roadtrips whenever. I still get blowjobs when I ask for them. Sex, if anyone turns it down, it is me because I am exhausted from traveling so
much.
Life aint over after marriage. It just enhanced my relationship. The ONLY thing my wife likes to spend money on is going out to eat and expensive wine. I dont mind because she is pretty cheap other than that. We may do that twice a month. We dont have separate bank accounts. If you are married and have separate, I think there is a problem. I get bailed out also by not having to talk to my wife about things. She is artsy, so most of her friends are gay. They love talking about shit that I couldnt care less about. If we have fights, which are rare, I just say...."stop arguing. Go to another room. We will not be mad at each other anyway in 20 minutes. Go cool off"....that's it. It's over. Fighting is pretty dumb when you think about it other than if it is financial or your spouse is cheating. Also, pretty much every decision is mine. My wife, however, gets her input. She understands that I am smarter than her about money and most major decisions so she lets me handle it. She has her input though. Also, she is smarter than me when it comes to fixing things, knowing certain bargains, etc., so I let her do that sort of stuff. The only thing we have to compromise on is TV. I let her watch american idol and I watch it with her. We also compromise on that if twice a week, I must sit in bed with her while she reads by 8:30. Of course I dont mind this. I love to read and it usually leads to some boom boom anyway..... My wife encourages me to go out with my friends. She doesnt call and check in. Because of this, I rarely go anywhere without her.

No matter how inane the issue, or what time of day or what you're presently in the middle of, you better at least feign interest in what she is saying.
It's 3am, she wakes you from a deep sleep and she wants to ream you for a dream she had in which she caught you cheating, you better listen If you're paddling a canoe to shore during a typhoon and she wants to talk about how she hates being wet, you better listen If she wants to call you 50 times while you're at work to complain about her mom, even if you are in the middle of an important meeting, you better listen. If it's the fucking Rapture and she wants to talk about how she feels about organized religion, you better listen Forget this important rule and you'll be sleeping on the couch like I've been for the last two nights. Yeah, um, marriage is beautiful, best of luck, etc. |

Sex, if anyone turns it down, it is me because I am exhausted from traveling so much.I wouldn't say I have it quite that well, but I definitely do not have the problems I hear most guys bitch about. Getting married in a couple of weeks and actually looking forward to it. Also, my fiance is artsy as well. Maybe that has something to do with it?
