i'm getting married!!!

there a three tools you have to learn for sure: listening, listening, listening. For the rest I'm really happy for you! Congratulation!

I never been married but I want to give you some tips for happy long lasting marriage! :P Thing's you'll need: Communication - for me it is a very important thing in good marriage, without communication you won't be able to say and to know people better./ Honesty. Being open and honest its the only way to be true to your self and to your partner. If the truth hurts, it's better to know than hiding it and hurting each other and later will haunt./ Understanding. This is hard, as everybody gets upset and won't be able to understand thing. Try to yourself to calm or let him to calm down, before to you can understand./ Commitment. You need to work together not against and not against each other./ Team Effort. You need to be a team, have the same objectives and goals and know the rules.

Hey, all I can say is CONGRATULATIONS! That's awesome. When is the big date? Oh and as far as your question goes...Love, compassion, communication, etc.... Just kidding, I know NOTHING about being in a successful relationship . Congrats again!

congratulations for you its long time for waiting this good day like now.. i think everyday is very colourful for you what about your candidate of husband?/

First of all congratulations! I am so happy for you. =) My husband and I have been married for 7 years. We have been through really hard things. What has kept us happy and together is we love each other so much. We do not always agree and that is okay. We trust each other, love each other, compromise at times, open communication is a big key, and instead of fighting talk when you can do so calmly, we also both have our faith which helps a lot. =) Those are my suggestions but I am sure there are more that others will come up with also. Congrats again and I hope you have a marriage that will last all eternity!

i think the tools to a long marriage are love and honesty, its important to be honest with each other so there are no secrets that way it wont cause any arguments. its also important to spend lots of time together that way you wont get bored. congratulations to you both and good luck for the future.

Wow congratulations! You seem to be a good person so you deserve all those blessings. I appreciate the love that you have for each other, because after 8 long years, you decided to really tie the knot. At least by now you already know each other very well. That's very important, knowing your partner more would help you keep the relationship strong. I remember during our wedding, we received a special gift, it's like a 10 commandments in marriage, I would want to share it with you here but I could not find it already, you know after almost 15 years since our wedding day. But anyhow I remember one commandment that says something like, when you are quarreling for something, and you are under a cold war, I mean you don't talk to each other, the best thing to do is to break the silence before the day ends. It should not be left as it is until the following day. Meaning you should solve the problems at once and should not wait for some time because it will only make the problem worst. So I think the essence there is to learn to forgive each other and move on.

Congratulations to you. It seems as though you have everything in your life that you could possibly want at the moment. Eight years is a long time to have been with somebody, and it is good to know that you have clearly thought about your relationship and have decided that you do want to spend the rest of your lives together. Make sure that you don't take your partner for granted after you get married, as this is something that a lot of people can get wrong. Make sure you keep your relationship as fresh as it always has been, and never allow yourselves to lose that spark.

Well, I want to say congratulations with you. Because at last you get married and find the real essence of life...have a happy life and blessings

First congratulations that you are gonna married and meet your lover.Hope you could really love your family and thus lead a happy life.It is really necessary for people to keep it fresh if you really wanna have a happy marriage.Just need more understandings and that would really works.

HI and congratulations! I remember those feelings when I was engaged and I immersed myself in the wedding shows, sites, and books. Some I gave up (Bridezilla) and others I kept watching....mainly to get ideas. Anyhow one of the things I discovered that really helps a marriage is communication. I know that this is often a no-brainer but there are times when communicating doesn't happen. So open up and talk every so often. Another idea? Set priorities. What is most important to either you or your spouse and how can you get from point A to point B? You mentioned that you were in Herbalife so see if your wedding can incorporate that or at least something environmentally friendly. How? Try the library as I did see that there was a book on how to have a 'green wedding'. You'll be amazed at how much paper you go through for a wedding! For example, try e-mailing invitations. For my wedding, we did it on a Friday afternoon and no alchohol thus eliminating noticeable expenses. My dress was on clearance and needed no adjustments. Last item is to learn how to read each other and not to take it personally. If you sense that your spouse needs some time to himself or to talk about something else, let him and hopefully he will reciprocate for you. Sure weddings are big subjects and it's easy to get involved with all the details but occasionally, discuss something else. Be well and have fun!

be careful because you are going to climb up with overweight now. So, be studious in overcoming the issues after marriage. Marriage is a burden.

Hi 34momma, CONGRATULATIONS & CELEBRATIONS!!!! (As the song goes!......) You sound super happy and excited and good for you, you have every right to be. I wish you and your husband to be all the luck in the world!! Hmm, now lets see, the ingredients for a long and happy marriage......I'd say understanding, patience, respect, honesty/loyalty, faithfulness, passion, love, being crazy about each other I'm sure would help. All of these things have to be a two-way thing; no use in it all being one-sided. You've already been together 8 years, that in itself is a long time and hopefully you will both have many more happy years together! IrishGal77 :)

CONGRATULATIONS! I hope you have a long and happy marriage. I have been married for over twenty years and there are a lot of ups and downs. The key is to compromise as much as possible. Never go to bed angry if you can help it. If all else fails, see a marriage councillor and always try to be honest in your marriage. That's my advice, anyway, take or leave it. Good Luck to you!!

Congratulations! I wish you the very best. The key to a successful marriage involves many things but most important good communication. Trust, care, share and be honest. Life won't always run exceptionally smooth but that's ok. You can agree to disagree and still have a good marriage. I have been married almost 43 years. Three grown children and 5 grandkids, another one on the way, we are happy and content. I wish you many happy and healthy years together.

Well,understand,respect,& support each other.With that,you're gonna make a good team.Congrats!

Wow, congratulations in advance. Based from my own experienced the secrets of a happy married life are the following; First thing to do is you must have an open communication. One of the reasons of lack of trust is miscommunication. Find ways of opening your communication. Have a talk every night before you sleep. Let your partner know that you want him to be part of everything you are experiencing with. Another is to make sacrifices on some circumstances. It's one of the secrets to have a happy and long-lasting marriage. Both of you should be prepared to put your partner's happiness ahead of your own from time to time. Always be careful with your finances. If you do not handle your financial situation carefully it can destroy your marriage. There are so many variables that might affect your marriage. Just remember that love and trust will bind you together. Make each other realize that the two of you must continuously work on all these aspects to ensure that your marriage will be happy and long lasting through the rest of your lives. Have a great day ahead!

Meaning for 8 years uve been in premarital situation./ Good that u were been married ..Congratssssssss.....

Long and happy family, which, of course, includes kids. You have to have a reason to be together. And what better one than kids, which need protection, love and care, they need strong family and warm home. That's it. Be happy!
