MARRIAGE TIPS

1. Know the person you’re going to marry so character traits that might offend you are not revealed six months or six years down the road.
2. Appreciate them for who they are. Have no desire to change them.
3. Don’t pretend they don’t have flaws. But don’t discuss their flaws with them.
4. Speak at length about raising children. Talk about how you want to raise them, include your goals and how you hope to achieve them. Talk about methods of discipline. Discuss what you will do with your children, and how much time each of you will spend with them.
5. Talk about your future intimacy. Talk about what lovemaking means to you but never correct each other. Tell your partner how you think your sex life might change after you are married. Be open about what your expectations are but don’t ask for a commitment. Know for certain that a person does what they want to do but primarily what they are used to doing, so don’t expect change.
