    Well some of us not so newly weds might have some questions after getting married and what to expect from each other, so throw in your comments please. I'm married over 2 years now and I'm quite content but hardly an expert on the situation, heres a few pointers I dragged up from different sources into one spot. Some of these are basic common sense really. :)

    *Don't expect a perfect relationship. That happens only in fairy tales. Problems will occur. You will get hurt. Being too concerned with the problems will stop you from paying enough attention to what is good in the relationship.

    *Reward yourself and your partner for the good that comes out of your being together.

    *Talk regularly about even the smallest of problems and help find a solution before things get out of hand. Don't expect your partner to know whats going on in your head 100% of the time. :)

    *An obvious one here people, split the housework and don't be the sterotypical male, there is no shame in it. ;)

    *When you are in the wrong say "I'm sorry", accept that it was your fault and apologise for it.

    *Encourage your partner to act and make decisions. Both of you will be able to accomplish more with the other's support and encouragement.

    *A favourite of mine but be careful with each other! If you get in an argument and feel like hurting each other, have a wrestling match (naked) and you will end up in tears of laughter.

    Please feel free to add to these and to all the people getting married now and in the future, best of luck! :D
