Great advise and the Five Love launguages is a great book. I read it and attended his seminar when he came into town last year. It funny you mention it's hard work and I always say the same thing but in reality isnt it really easy and almost effortless? If you want to have a happy wife than make her be happy. Help her to achieve her goals and be loving to her always. Sami way we do friends. The only really hard part is sucking it up and not dumping your own garbage on her and expect her to take it with a smile like she's your mother. Own your own hate and baggage and explain it to her so she's not blind sided when you come home in a fowl mood. Tell her your feeling and listen to hers. Communication is a beautiful thing. Expecting the other to read your mind will always suck
Some really fantastic and well thought out replies here. I appreciate all of you who took the time for such well thought responses. All in all we have a pretty good marriage but man some days!!!!! Last night was one of those nights hence the thread. Lol Afflicted , Iowa Veteran thanks for the references!
I did not read any books, nor do I need too. Treat your lady with respect, do your share of the chores, and love her everyday like it's the last day you'll have with her. Remember she comes first. Celebrated 16 years yesterday, marriage is easy.

I was married once. I had no clue and it didn't work. Now I am looking for an outdoor, hunting girl so we have more in common. But no matter how hard I look, she has yet to cross in front of me in my bowstand.
That's really fantastic. I'm on marriages 2. One of reasons divorce rates are so high today is because people are getting divorced after 20-30 and 40 years of marriage and those divorces are included in on the overall rate today.
Shocker the original me generation is acting selfish Here's another movie quote My generation found away, yours finds a way out. I stand by my commitments in my life.
I agree. It's very easy. Some people make it seem very complicated and difficult. We each have our own role and that's what we do. We haven't read any books or gone to any sessions either. Our priest waived the counseling sessions before our nuptial mass since we were already married for a year and a half and had our first child already. :D
I've been married for 19yrs. last week. It's a about Sacrifice! Did I know that going in to my marriage? Hell no. It's something you learn as you go. I have two wonderful little girls and one great wife. All my friends have been divorced and there still miserable, My brother is single and thinks my marriage is a joke because I can't buy what I want, and go where I want (on a whim).Of course "he's" miserable, angry and lonely. But he's got that Pride thing going for him. You need to stick it out, because it's all God's plan.
I feel the exact same way. 10yrs with my wife so far and we're best friends. It helps that we were on the same page with everything before we were married.
Yes ! We didn't get all the way through this morning before the kids got up so we are going to watch it through again this evening. It is all so very true and really helps to put some perspective on things I think. Plus it is pretty darn funny! Thanks again
I unintentionally left this thread open on the iPad after posting the other night and the following morning guess who saw it! She wasn't happy at first... Then I told her to read it and she did! I assume she thinks all we do on here is talk huntin and stuff when she saw the wealth of solid advice and genuine responses she was quite impressed. Plus she got to see I wasn't on here starting a thread to slam her which was likely her first impression. Again guys thanks! I love my wife and I believe there is always more to learn when it comes to being a better husband, father, and friend
