Happy wife = Happy life

All you need to know. I'm on number 3 so I have learned this over time.

Too many people think this means "give her her way all the time". That's a recipe for disaster, because she is going to be wrong about a lot of stuff. Women don't want a husband who is just a push over; if she doesn't respect you, she won't be happy with you.

She should know there are some things that you will put your foot down on and will not give in.

If you ever start getting a feeling of resentment towards your SO then there is a major issue, that left unchecked, will destroy your relationship.

Sorry your marriage isn't recognized in most states.

Exactly this. Mrs. Tantal gets her way about 90% of the time, but it's mostly on petty, inconsequential shite where I really DGAF either way so it's not worth arguing over. Then there are things (usually major financial decisions) where my word is the law and she knows not to question it. It's worked for 16 years without serious incident.

Same here. I know I'm only gonna win 1 out of 10 arguments. So, you better make sure what your arguing over is worth winning.

My father-in-law gave my wife some sage wisdom the day we got married. I quote, "The key to a happy marriage is to keep his stomach full and balls empty." No truer words have ever been spoken.

1. Be sure to get a good night's sleep the day before the wedding. Don't pass out. The floor is meant for feet, not heads. I've heard.

2. I hope your relationship is strong enough to tolerate each other's differences and interests. Nothing kills a marriage faster than having a clinging partner who demands most of your time.

ETA: Congratulations. May you have a long and happy marriage.

Actually, I think homo marrige is recognized in the majority of US states now.

Who is rustled?


We're just trying to help. I'm not sure which one of you will be the man. We need female posters to help you though, I'd guess.

You should think long and hard about marrying somebody who's willing to marry you.

You and some of the other children on the board. You'll grow up someday, don't worry. Everyone develops at different rates.

I'm married to the opposite sex as our species should be for the prolonged survival of said species.


Not my fault you hate humanity and want it to cease.

Enjoy it... Have a blast before you have kids, because then schedules and life will change dramatically.. My wife and I traveled a ton before we had kids, but I still look back and would have loved to backpack Europe... I'll have to save that dream for retirement..
