What is some good advice your father told you about married life ?

My father told me to help my wife with the house work , but do an ok job if you do it too good it will be your job for life.


What tips do you have ?What is some good advice your father told you about married life ?
He told me


~ Honor your vowels, love him as if there is no tomorrow %26amp; accept nothing less in return.





Tried all the above so instead I've bought a mood ring .... When I'm in a good mood it turns green, when I'm in a bad mood it leaves a large red mark on his forehead.


(It has been a good week for him)


My advice, dont give her any reasons to buy a mood ring.





; )What is some good advice your father told you about married life ?
1) Don't punch your wife.


2) If you're guilty, just nod and do everything she says. You'll get to sleep earlier.


3) If she says, ';yes, you can go';, she means, ';you better not go';


4) Kitchen, living, bedroom, everything belongs to her. The only thing that belongs to you is the garage, the toilet, and the TV remote. TV belongs to her when Oprah is on.


5) Finish all chores by Friday night so you can watch Football on the weekends.


6) If she ever asks, ';Is she pretty?';. ALWAYS say, ';Who?'; first and then reply, ';You're the only pretty one I see here';.


7) NEVER laugh, when saying the above.


8) If she ever asks, ';Can I ask you something?';...ALWAYS reply, ';No';, or run to the bathroom or...prepare to nod at everything and do everything she says.


9) You know you're right, but don't ever let her catch you thinking that.


10) Don't let her drive.
Kiss like you mean it.
This is more 'pre' married life, but when I was over there one night crying about my (so called) man, (who is my ex now) Anywho, my dad said, ';Do you realize you're trying to raise a 23 yr old man? His parents didn't teach him right from wrong when he was young, do you honestly think you're going to be able to teach him now? Make him the man you want him to be? If you think you can, then quit crying and go home. If you don't, then it's over.';





It took me a while to listen, but he was right. That was over 10 yrs ago and he still hasn't grown up. Very sad.
*Yes Dear* is always an appropriate answer - no matter the circumstances :)
Well, before I got married, my daddy told me there are actually 3 rings in marriage.





The engagement ring


The wedding ring





Then the suffering...





Been married over 6 years and still haven't come across the suffering though...
i've never gotten any marriage advice from either of my parents. either they think i'm smart and don't need it or they just don't give a toss.
';always agree with her or else you will be sleepin in the couch'; so far I have NEVER slept in the DOGHOUSE lol';





';Never tell her she is fat';





lol
make sure i show who is boss. so far its worked out. if you divorce a woman, don't get another woman because that means you have 2 problems
He told me to love unconditionally!! So I am when I get married!!
No cheesy things to get her to marry you.
My fathers gives advice like Homer Simpson. He told me to marry for looks, and not to have kids because they are more worry than they are worth. Obviously I learnt early on not to take his advice!
My dad didn't give me any advice, my mom said not to do it, I should have listened! Not to marry him that is, not in general.
Thats great advice your dad gave! no wonder my husband does half a** job j/k i luv my husband. well my grandpa raised me and he has been married 64 yrs and best advice i learned from him was that a husband should kiss his wife every day when on way to work and coming home to give a woman nurting love. My tip is use divorce as last resort, marriage isnt a chore it should be fun and challenging.
It will never last sweet.
Don't get married if you can help it!!-- my Dad


My advice: Start a marriage on a good foundation. commitment, communication, love, trust, and respect.
Tip #1. Avoid married life at all costs.
Dont get married until your 40.
None that I can repeat here. My father was a dirty old man.
Don't do it.
dont
My father told me not to do it.





It's not 'bad' advice.
buy her a huge ring
My dad told me to always dress nice for my husband. I do!
