Those who have been married know how important it is to choose your battles wisely, huh? Disagreements can happen over the silliest of things, things that often have very simple solutions.

The purpose of this thread is to offer simple tips for those who hope to one day marry, tips that may seem silly or trivial, but can remove some of the irritations of life and bring peace.

Please share your tips here - from the funny stuff to the highly serious. :)

"For one, a snoring spouse often keeps the other person from a good night's sleep, which can eventually lead to separate bedrooms. "Snoring can create real problems in a marriage," says Daniel P. Slaughter, MD, an otolaryngologist and snoring expert at Capital Otolaryngology in Austin, Texas."

I would say to always make sure you have the person's attention, and you're not already angry, when you want to bring something up that irritates you. Don't shout it out the door as you leave for work. Maybe for some people even a special token or place to air grievances, to avoid feeling put on the spot.

IMO, it's important to make sure what you said was what was heard by the other person. The words may be the same, but the look or tone of voice can be mistaken to imply something totally different.

Not only so, but hearing the sentence with suspicion or bad feelings inside can change what we hear.

For instance, if you're angry at someone else, your feelings can cross over into your message with that special someone, making it seem you're mad at them.

I couldn't tell you how many times I got "the look" that actually belonged to someone else. Then I would say "What?", only to really set the person off, LOL!

Believe me, "from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh" has more to do with attitudes & feelings inside than what you say. No matter what is said, the heart is heard.:)

Don't ever get in the last word by yelling it as you leave. That's a cheap shot and it leaves you both angry. Stay in the conversation until it is resolved or agree to table it as unresolvable at this time. If you feel you have to "win" then you have already lost because you have made your pride more important than the issue that you are trying to resolve.

About the toilet seat... If you happen to find it up, you're a big girl. Put it down. But if you just can't remember to check before you sit down, make sure your husband knows about the aerosol effect. Especially as it affects your infected toothbrush...

I am enjoying the lightheartedness of the posts here. It helps me feel a little more hopeful about possibly one day getting married. Thank you.

Two thoughts...

First, does that woman come with the bed?

Second, how will you ever find sheets, blankets or comforter sets that will fit that bed?

Wow, I must be, like... the perfect potential husband or something, because I don't like motorcycles, boats or four-wheelers. ^.^

By the way, this thread title keeps reminding me of a comedy skit I once saw. A woman reaches in her purse and says "Hold your peace and let the Lord fight the battle eh?" She brings out a pistol... "Hold your piece... and let the Lord fight the battle."

She said "And I'll add something to that, blessed are the peacemakers. Blessed are Smith & Wesson. BLESSED are Smith & Wesson."

Funny. What are YOU gonna do with a new kitchen, other than make cereal and toast? :p

("Let my oldest daughter use it," is not a legitimate answer.)






(This really is the best part of having your best friend on the CC boards. You get to snipe each other publicly. I can't even begin to describe how big of a smile I had when I sniped Angie about when she wakes up just the other day. ^_^ )

I was kind of joking with my advice for men, but here's one for the women...


Problem: Asking a billion questions.

Solution: Give him a chance to come in, get his shoes off and relax a while. Hopefully he'll open up and talk to you after he's rested.
