Besides that, she's great with money and we both are on the same page about it, so that's not a problem. To me the biggest problem is people don't talk about their ideas of what marriage is supposed to be before they get married, then they marry and both expect the other one to be the perfect spouse, not gonna happen.

Although it's true we don't have kids yet (hopefully another 3 years) and I hear that tends to kill the sexlife quite a bit
i bet your 19, sheltered, and married your highschool GF.

I hear you, I couldn't see myself spending that much, but I've never been in that situation........

I guess I've lived less than an hour away from a beach all my life, so is not that big of a deal to me....

i had to drop a girl because of that. she grew up watching her mom wear the pants, and when we got together, she thought it'd be just like that. I respected her, treated her good, but im old fashioned. the man is the head of the household, thats just how it is for me. eventually i had to tell this girl, "look, i have the *****, not you." she was cool and all that, but nothing i'd go through life with

Au contrair capitano- I'm just about 23, have lived in several different locals including San Diego for a few years, and my wife, although I did know her growing up, she couldn't stand me.

Funny how things change when you grow up and realize what life is really about.

you should live together for a while and see how that works out. ive lived with my fiance for almost a year now. we dont argue cuz i refuse to there are alot better things to get mad about than y u didnt change the clothes over to the dryer. so yea not arguing kiks *** but sometimes you will but its how you handle those moments. and also never walk out after an argument. that is the worst thing you could do if you love her.

Stealthmodes Marriage rules to live by:

- Arguements only happen when you aren't man enough to be the head of the house. If you're head of the house, there isn't an argument.

- $2500 could buy a car and a turbo kit, but if you spend less than $2000, your marriage has a 0.000003 % chance of being good. (I say so)

- Make sure you tell the broad that cars, dirty hands, friends over all the time, and loud noises coming from the garage is just going to be the way it is. It's not going to stop because of a ring on your finger, a baby coming out of your birth canal, or because your parents think it's the "responsible" thing to do. Get that ---- in writing.

- Sex isn't something you wait for. You mention something that conveys the message that you are in the mood to get sweaty and nasty, and within 4.7 hours you expect to splash babies on her tongue. If it doesn't happen, leave **** around the house on purpose to get your message accross.

- Anything you see that Martha Stewart would do, you must jokingly call her "Martha Brady, Mrs. Brady, or June Clever". This is to let her know that there will come a time when you are both 80 billion years old shitting your pants, but until that time comes, you would like to act like a 14 year old. Acting like Martha Stewart doesn't make you more sofisticated, and there's no reason to waste your life trying to impress people with how grown up you are.

- Always make her feel special/attractive by sticking your finger in her butt at any time you are within 2 ft. of her. If she complains, tell her you're sorry for finding her attractive. (don't tell her we find all females attractive)

All good points

I am going to use this opportunity to clear up a misconception that I've heard tons of times, and I'm going to use my mad MS paint skills to do so.

You always hear people say, your marriage will have it's ups and downs. See Fig. 1


This is incorrect, because to a guy, ups and downs means something that you can graph like the chart seen here, and we understand that.

Here is the way it actually is: Fig. 2


as you can see, you are on month 8 of marriage and you are at 70% happiness with how things are at that time, but where is your wife? She's over there on the lady tangent line, and she's stuck on something that happened in month 6. You're standing there going, "Hey you can't be over there! That's not even on the graph you can't make up your own lines!" But she did, and she's there. All of a sudden, you're the one who's in the wrong place!

So to anyone that ever hears that crazy misconception that you will have ups and downs in your marriage, please refer to my graphs, and know that we're not dealing with a two-dimensional up or down as implied, but rather a three or possibly even fourth dimensional graph, where we have no idea what the other two dimensions will stand for until we get there. :1
