This is very true. Communication is, of course, very, very important. But compromise is also a must. When you're married, you have to realize that your opinion/viewpoint is not the only one that matters anymore. You have to be willing to concede some points (some small, some large) in order to maintain the balance. However, this has to be a two-way street, and she must do the same. I know so many marriages that have failed over the simple inability to say five little words: I'm sorry, I was wrong.
Not married and hopefully never will, but I can vouch for the importance of married couples needing to understand and being willing to respect one another. Don't go behind your other's back, and be honest. < Good. >
will do. thank you for the advice, i understand your point but i do disagree with you on one point. if we're here to make women happy, then how can we be happy? if i want to smoke, because whatever... and this is the one and only i have to live, who is to tell me i can't smoke? i guess what i'm saying is, as selfish as it sounds, this is my life too. even though it might piss her off, who has the right to tell me how to live? i want her to be happy, but not at the cost of sacrificing my freedom to make choices for me. BTW +1 repped
Learn to apologize man Even if you aren't always in the wrong... forgiveness also opens the doors for alot of communication interaction It'll calm alot of things down Buy the books or audio CD's for For Women Only and For Men Only by teh Feildheins... Shauntie and I forget her husbands name. Trust me man, its very eye opening and would help you a ton. I've just made 10 years All marriages go through a rough time, trials whatever you want to call it. Anything worth having will take work to get and keep. If you are willing and need it, marriage counseling helps alot. Stop listening to those folks telling you how you shouldn't take this or that or are picking sides which can damage an already sensitive situation
Everything you do in your marriage puts you at a fork in the road; one leds to isolation of one from the other and the other leads to intimacy. Better choose a lot more intimacy...
If you fight to the point you can't stand her that is not a good sign. What ever you do, don't have kids. Without kids you always have the option to walk away clean. Once you have kids, in my opinion, you have a commitment to suck it up and do what ever it takes to put on a happy face and raise those kids together. Even if you can't stand her 100% of the time.
I get Hathaway with ease. Its the BJs she doesn't give enough. Actually she will give them, but she won't do it for nearly long enough to get anything done.
sorry, but that's the worst reason to have kids. you have kids because you want to. having them because you think it will fix your marriage will only tear the two of you apart. btw, i think if married people lived separately they would be much happier. but i guess that's only feasible if you don't have kids.
