Been married about 6 months, here's what I got for you:
I want to second this. Sound advice. Some women may give you more chances, depending on the task. Keep screwing it up. When she starts getting mad at you, say "Honey, I really don't think I'm doing it wrong I'm just not doing it the way you would, I'll probably never do it the way you want." Then offer to do half or something. (We had this issue with putting Tupperware away. Now I just take it out of the dishwasher and set it on the counter for her to put away.)
Also:
- When your wife starts hollering for you from the other end of the house, go to where she is to find out what the hubbub's about. If she tries to have a conversation with you from the other end of the house, stay in your seat and feign deafness for this is not a trend you want to start.
- As stated on the MAC board, you really will start to go deaf once married. I think the ring must put pressure on a nerve or something. Tip: don't say "huh" or "what" a lot, that will get you in trouble. Pretend that you heard every word she said. She will invariably repeat the previous statement or ask you why you haven't done the thing she requested.
- Generally speaking, put yourself in charge of vehicle maintenance, even if you don't have the foggiest idea how the 4-wheeled doo-hickeys work. It's been my experience that most wives don't care enough to worry with the little stuff (like changing the oil).
- Learn to cook and offer to do so occasionally. Eat her cooking with a smile and get seconds, even if it tastes like fried cat poo.
- I'm sure you know this, but just in case you don't; if she answers the question "What's wrong?" with "Nothing.", you're a dead man. Go to another room and wait until she decides to tell you what you did wrong. Seriously. Don't keep asking, don't prod for what you did wrong. Just wait until she decides to tell you what you buggered up.
- You will screw up and you will hurt her feelings unintentionally, sometimes while you think you're doing something nice. Roll with it. Apologize for putting too much butter on her toast.
- You will lose every argument. Even if you really win, you still lose.
- Some wives are mean when sick. If yours is that way, just shut-up and give her what she asks for.
- Get used to knick-knacks and stuff.
- Whenever she offers lovin' take it, even if it's 4am, you're bleeding internally and have the flu.
- See each other out the door every morning with a kiss and a "love you". Do the same when you get home.
- When you put on the wedding band, you become a professionally certified shopping cart, bug killer, mover-of-heavy-things, and carrier-of-stuff-in-general.
- If your wife sends you to the store with a list, buy exactly what the list says. If you're not sure what to buy because of multiple options (i.e. cooking chocolate), buy one of each. If you're not sure what a 'big bag of x' is, buy 3 of the biggest bags.
- If you go shopping with the wife, walk alongside her and don't act like you are bored to death. However, in the event that you have been shopping for more than 3 hours and you just want to go home but the wife shows no signs of letting up, make her mad. You'll be home in 30 minutes.
- One of the longest running jokes is that women change when they get married. It's not really a joke. They change. The girlfriend that didn't care that you threw your socks on the living room floor becomes the wife who will kill you for said action. They also change for the better, the girlfriend that wanted to go out to eat every night becomes the wife content with burgers and a movie at home. Just don't forget to take her out, I'd say at least once a week.
Lastly, Craig Shoemaker (comedian) said that marriage is wonderful 95% of the time, and it is. 5% of the time, you're plotting to off yourself as quickly as possible.
Congrats, BTW.

Work out who's going to pay the bills in advance. Prepare a budget before the wedding so that you both have a realistic expectation of how much money you'll have.

I think we'd be better off preparing his wife a list of what it takes to make a guy happy.
We could be here for days hammering out the woman's list.... but the guy's list is maybe 5 things.
1) Sex. We must have it to survive. Wear something sexy once in awhile. We'll notice. And as Dave Chapelle said... even if you're sick or not in the mood, play along that you're interested. Don't go "ewwwwwwwwwww!!!" at the end. You could tell us to go splooge the TV and we'd smile and ask if you preferred one part of the TV to another. And for cryin' out loud be adventurous and active. If we wanted to pound something lifeless a few times a week we could certainly find a satisfactory product to do so on the internet.
2) Us time. Most of the time we're fine with whatever you want on the TV, or whatever game or hobby you enjoy pursuing. But every guy has a small list of things he realllllly wants to do. Be it watch the college football games on Saturday, watch some other favorite TV show, or just have an hour to surf the net once in awhile. This brief us time should only be trumped by sex.
3) We live to fix things. Before you call the repairman, ask us to have a go at it. Even if we screw it up worse, we'll have enjoyed ourselves immensely in the process.
4) Once in awhile make a good home cooked meal. It buys you bonus points. Not in the mood for sex that night? Home cooked meal. Wanting to take us somewhere we reallllllllllly don't want to go this weekend? Good home cooked meal.
5) Have a sense of humor. The only thing worse than a woman with no sense of humor is one who has the sex drive of a nun.
BONUS: Every guy has some trivial little something he reallllllllly loves for you to do. For me it's back scratches. Find this little something and reward him with it!

He's gonna keep his friends. When you ask how said friends are and he answers "dunno", don't freak out and ask why he doesn't know. We don't have to talk to our friends regularly to be friends, we just need the occasional weekend of hunting/fishing/golfing/drinking.
Also, when the friends call up the husband and tell him of an event going on, don't have a fit when the answer to "So what's the plan" is "dunno, drink beer and hang out, I reckon.", that's the plan.

Yeah, congrats. The only thing I can offer is, have a good time at your wedding and honeymoon. Just don't take your wife for granted and you should be alright.

I have been with the same woman for 24 years.
Always remember why you married her in the first place. Do the things you did to win her hand. Treat her as a lady at all times. Argue, if you dont only one of you is thinking. Be aware of the fact that there are days you will hate her guts. It will get better. Make sure you guys are square on expectations about money, where you will live, how many kids you want, HER MOTHER's influence in your relationship, religion, your friends and your desire to keep the friendship alive,,,,,and when I think of anything else I will edit this.

Unmet expectations are the killer of relationships.
And beware, expectations change. That's why communication is important.

If you and she both work you are expected to do laundry, cooking and cleaning. She is expected to do yardwork, painting and mechanical repairs.

Is it true that woman don't like sex (or at least aren't as interested in sex) as much as men do? I've never been married, but I've heard this now from countless married men. I guess the thing I don't have resolved in my mind is if woman don't like sex as much (or as often) as men do because you treat your wife like a dog or because women really are that way. Or does it just depend on the girl?
Anyway, as a single guy it sure is discouraging to hear that women don't like sex that much. Of course I've had enough illicit sex (over 350 women) to last me a lifetime. I hate that garbage. It's the real intimacy that is so important in a marriage relationship. That's something you can't get from an "encounter". What do you married guys say about this?

I don't think it has as much to do with desire or drive as it does with time and energy.
Single people have single lives. The things you do when not working are pretty much limited to what you want to do. Don't want to do the dishes? Screw it, I only used a pan and a plate. Don't feel like straightening up? Who cares, only you have to look at it. The movie on the tube looks good, I'm just gonna sit here.
Married life is busy. More people means more stuff and more everything. Twice the dishes, twice the laundry, twice the stuff, clutter, and dirt. Twice the family, twice the obligations. During the course of a normal day, you don't have time for intimacy unless you make it a point to make the time. By bedtime, you're so freakin' exhausted all you want to do is sleep.
The fact that you've already got her lulls you into the sense of "Well, I don't have to do anything. It should just happen", too.
Married men are probably just a guilty as the women for any lack of intimacy.

Man, I have 3, THREE, kids. It gets much worse than what you describe. Take the normal married couple's lives, with 2 jobs, etc, and add 2 kids in school, homework, one in some sort of daycare, soccer practices (minimum of 3 a week), after school activities. Exponentially growing pile of dirty clothes, dishes, dirt, trash, etc.

Sex for men is always a physical act. As women get older it becomes more of an emotional act (for most women). You need to treat it as such. When you have kids in the house you may as well resign yourself to the fact that they are the top priority.

Ut oh, you're married to one of those radical feminist types who thinks a man should do 50% of the laundry and 50% of the dishes. And those are the types that would rather play with....awh, nevermind. Greybeard maybe this is why you're a little crabby at times? I'm just speculating. Is it the wife?

Wow, I don't think I could handle being married--really. But OTOH being single sucks because you're related to no one and you come home from work to 4 blank white walls. What's a guy to do?

During the course of a normal day, you don't have time for intimacy unless you make it a point to make the time. By bedtime, you're so freakin' exhausted all you want to do is sleep.
The fact that you've already got her lulls you into the sense of "Well, I don't have to do anything. It should just happen", too.
Married men are probably just a guilty as the women for any lack of intimacy.
Man, I have 3, THREE, kids. It gets much worse than what you describe. Take the normal married couple's lives, with 2 jobs, etc, and add 2 kids in school, homework, one in some sort of daycare, soccer practices (minimum of 3 a week), after school activities. Exponentially growing pile of dirty clothes, dishes, dirt, trash, etc.
Ut oh, you're married to one of those radical feminist types who thinks a man should do 50% of the laundry and 50% of the dishes. And those are the types that would rather play with....awh, nevermind. Greybeard maybe this is why you're a little crabby at times? I'm just speculating. Is it the wife?
Geez man, why don't you give up this internet posting thing before the whole world figures you out. You have no idea what you are talking about, so there is really no reason to respond.
Thank you.

Hey Bart:
Congratulations! I think being married is the right way to go. More responsibility is on you than on her, but I know you can handle it son! Way to go.

Before you get married I would advise you to consult the Koran. It has some specific advice on women.

No, that doesn't work. It makes the situation worse. Besides I have decided I would much rather live my life without being infested with demonic spirits.

I don't think it has as much to do with desire or drive as it does with time and energy.
Single people have single lives. The things you do when not working are pretty much limited to what you want to do. Don't want to do the dishes? Screw it, I only used a pan and a plate. Don't feel like straightening up? Who cares, only you have to look at it. The movie on the tube looks good, I'm just gonna sit here.

You're going to love being married, BinDKalb. It's the only legal way you can get a cooking slave, laundry slave, dishwashing slave, cleaning slave. yardwork slave, car maintenance slave, accounting slave, and BJ slave - all rolled into one!

Does L-mac make you do that to strangers or are do you have regular customers?
I love my wife, but if she turned me into a BJ slave, I think I'd have to leave.

I think you're confused. Just because you checked your manhood in at the alter doesn't mean the rest of us did.
Don't make me have Endzone break out all the biblical "woman shall honor and be subservient to her husband" mojo on you...
