Until I'm Mrs. Vercetti. Oh my nerves
Advice on marriage please just a little will help me. How did you feel going into it knowing you're gonna be spending the rest of your life with someone?

(639 posts)I tried marriage twice and apparently I suck at it. But, in latter relationships I learned something. Love is powerful. Its overwhelming. But that feeling, although it is very much there, will fade in power. But like, thats where its at. If you genuinely like someone, like being around someone, would rather be around that person than hanging with your friends and maybe your family, then you found your mate. You will be fine if you really like this person.

So much happens in life and despite all the ups and downs, you always want to share it with your best friend.
Good luck my dear. We're hoping you'll both be happy.

(11,498 posts)I have been married for 22 years now. First marriage I was too young and met him in a strict church. When we both grew out of that realized we had nothing in common.
My next advice is don't take things personal, if spouse is having a hard day and starts a argument just know its their stuff not yours and blow it off. I spent too many years being over sensitive.
