Everyone's a little nervous

It's the greatest thing when you have a good woman. Talk to her...don't be afraid to talk football, politics, or religion. She should be one of the few you can do that with and should. Do a budget, don't go in debt and don't live to close to her mother.
 
Your marriage will be exactly what you make it. Marriage is not 50/50. It is a commitment to each other to make it work. There will be times when you will have to give the whole 100% -as there will be times when she will have to do the same thing. Build it on a foundation of faith. Be faithful to her. What you think is love on your wedding date is only a poor reflection what you will know after you have been married 30 plus years. Never go to bed angry at each other. Have sex every night. (I threw that last part in case she reads this) Good luck.
 
1. Do not go to bed mad. Old but true.
2. Remind her how much you love her, even when you do not feel "loving".
3. Listen to her, even if you think you can fix it, it is more important to listen.
4. Give 100% of yourself and expect 0% out of her. (Trust me she is doing the same.. there is no such thing as 50/50 in marriage.)
5. When you want to snap, wait 1 day.
6. Ask her opinion
7. Give her surprises for no reason at all, even a pack of M&M's with a bow on them
8. If both work, then remember there is more work at home after work, dishes, yard, clothes, kids, cleaning...
9. Spend time with her. This is VERY important.
10. Make sure she changes the oil in her car every 3000 miles. A torn up car is cheaper than anger. (Best bet do it yourself, unless she wants to.)

Be good, be faithful, and remember that trust is earned over time, and in no time a promise you cannot keep can destroy the time you built. No secrets. Your family is your spouse, and she is your home where all things are shared.

Work together, and you will find that you are starting the greatest and most beautiful adventure of your life.

I've learned that sometimes you're better off going to bed mad so you don't say things you regret. Sleep on it, then talk about it when cooler heads prevail. Sometimes.
 
Congrats!

Marriage is tough...but wonderful. The most important thing is honesty and respect. The older you get, the more you'll appreciate it. My dad told me years ago to "think about what you need to be happy and think about what she needs to be happy. Guys are simpler than women and need less to be satisfied...stand your ground accordingly."

Have fun and treat her like a queen.
 
Here is the #1 rule to marriage!!!

I've been married for 20 years and can tell you that Jeff Foxworthy is exactly correct...

The number 1 rule to a successful marriage is for you to learn as fast as humanly possible that.....

"IF SHE AIN'T HAPPY, YOU AIN'T HAPPY!"

Good luck and don't forget that your wedding day has NOTHING to do with you...it's all about your bride! This is her day and your job is simply to NOT screw it up!
 
I think it was Rodney Dangerfield who said

"when my wife is happy, I'm happy. When my wife is unhappy, I'm miserable."

Truer words have never been spoken.
