Pride makes a cold bed mate. Sometimes , putting your pride to one side is the right choice.

Also, marriage is not a bed of roses, neither is it a Disney movie - it takes work, determination and compromise.

And lastly, communication is key, its not always easy or comfortable but neither of you are mind readers.

I like that HildaW. A little feminine mystique!

Be prepared to take the rough with the smooth.

I'm a bit old fashioned and think that a little privacy/secrecy is not a bad thing to hang onto as well as a little bit of 'Mad' money. I do not mean keeping secrets of any importance from the OH. I just think a few things should be done on the other side of a door. A little feminine mystery if you will.

Both have your own hobby/interests and make sure you keep up friendships with your own friends.

Should she ask for it of course! My daughter's friends have organised a hen party and one bit of it involve a tea party and we all need to read out some advice we would give her for a long and happy marriage. Mine would be 'laugh a lot' but also less romantically, 'keep a separate rainy/runaway fund'. What advice would you give?
