In my 20-years of working with fathers, I’ve seen the problems that result from not taking the time to address the various issues that can arise from blending families.

Probably wouldn’t hurt.

I personally think anyone who gets married needs extensive counseling, financial counseling, etc.

Not the 2 sessions you go to with a priest or those stupid classes the states mandates. Dumb. If the people can’t afford the counseling, they certainly don’t need to be thinking of getting married.

so many people get divorced nowadays, mostly because they rushed it. were there certain things you wish you knew during your early relationships? also, how long do you think a couple should date before getting married?

I got married when I was 18 years old but we had dated since I was 14 years old. (I am almost 24 now.) I would definitely recommend waiting until after college because you learn so much about who you are and what you are capable of. Also, you should tell them to get together on their finances and make sure both of them know exactly how to balance a check book and make and stick to a budget. (No one teaches kids/teens about money management, overdraft fees, credit card interest rates, etc.) Money issues are the top reason so many people get divorced. Hope this helps!

Husband and I get along good but I’d like to know from some married people what there secrets to success are, please advise.

Gracie plain and simple we sometimes treat our partners worse than we would treat our friends
So my tip is treat your hubby like what he is your closest and dearest friend . Oh and in the bed room rock his world teee heee

We dated for 2 years before we got married and lived together most of that time and we’ve now been married almost a year but we fight ALL the time about love and communication. Is it meant to be? Should we try counseling? Does it work?

Counseling can work if both people are committed to fixing the relationship. Just because you need counseling after only a year doesn’t mean the marriage is doomed. Marriage isn’t easy and it takes a lot of work. If you’re willing to do the work, the marriage will last.

Would you live out every day in misery just to make your parents and relatives happy? Would you forsake your own happiness for the happiness of others? How many of you would do this? And how many of you are actually doing this now?

look honey if your not happy whats the point. you should know that without love , life is meaningless. you should confront your parents and tell them how you fill. if they still don’t understand ,oh well . follow your heart. who cares what other people think , be yourself and try to find that perfect someone.

good luck with that

http://www.GoodGuideCollection.com/marriage — How to Save Your Marriage

When you exchanged vows, you promised your spouse that you would stay with them “until death do you part.”

So what happened to get you to the point that you are considering divorce?

If you can remember what made you fall in love in the first place, you can learn how to save your marriage by following these simple tips.

1.Schedule some time together.
Turn off your cell phones, your television and your instant messenger. Now sit down together and really listen to each other. Share your feelings with your spouse and listen to them share their feelings as well.

2. Write each other love letters.
Taking the time to send your spouse a little reminder that you love them can really help you reconnect. Plus, emphasizing your significant other’s best qualities can remind you what made you fall in love in the first place.

3. Plan a date night.
Many couples get so comfortable with each other after being married for several years that they stop dressing up for each other and going out on dates. You can re-energize your relationship with your spouse by planning a night out once a week when you have no choice but to dress your best.

4. Do something for yourself.
If you’re feeling self-conscious about your body, you’re probably going to reflect that onto your spouse. Create an exercise program to help you lose weight and eat a balanced diet. Buy yourself a new outfit for date night, or spend a day at the spa. Do something that makes you feel better about yourself.

5. Make your spouse your number one priority.
With work and kids demanding your constant attention, it’s easy to ignore the other adult in your life. But someday it will once again just be the two of you, and you are going to find that you no longer truly know the person sleeping beside you. Take a moment each day for your spouse and let them know you’re thinking about them throughout the day.
