A Healthy Godly Marriage
Gina:
Oh, do yourself a favor and disregard un-sound counsel about women and marriage. All marriages are different.
Pray constantly that God gives your wife good judgment when dealing with you. And you do the same -- pray that God gives you good judgment when dealing with her. Do this every time something big creeps up.
Teach her it's okay to laugh at foibles. Don't allow her to abuse you or take you for granted.
Don't worship her! (That spells desperation and women smell desperation like they smell fear -- and we think "weak!" Blech.. Be a gentleman, but be a man (women marry men -- not puppy dogs). Don't let her "dog" you. :) )
The couple that laughs together stays together. If you can learn to laugh at yourselves and let go of the small stuff while being courteous to each other--you've got separate bedrooms and dwelling units. (I kid!) If you can laugh at yourselves you'll be able to ride through a great many storms -- but that takes maturity. You seem pretty mature.
You'll be fine. (Don't listen to JFK. He's bitter. :P)

Hi newgene,
Congratulations!
Communicate a lot, a woman needs to talk things out.
Be flexible, changing your mind is not bad it means you are learning and you need to conform as you grow.
Nothing should be written in stone.
Honesty is the best policy, deceit will catch up with you... but don't be blunt, use tact.
Do NOT hold grudges or bring up things from the pass, that's water under the bridge.
I think of those difficult situations as a test to see how well I am overcoming carnality. But if you fail don't worry another test will be soon at hand.
I hope you have many joyful yrs together. June 10th was our 35th ;D
mercy, peace and love

I have to be honest -- I'll try to use tact. Even this bugs me about women. (I learned it from my old boss.) Women talk too much -- talk, talk all the time. And most times they talk to hear themselves because that's how they work things out -- or maybe they think they're really interesting--have to tell you every little detail -- like they like the sound of their voices. Ah!! It drives me up the wall! But not all women are like that. And some of them are so dang cute. Women need to learn to be more like men and hit the facts instead of wasting an entire afternoon talking about this and that and ... then I went to the bathroom and I pulled out my eyelash curler, and then she looked at me and then I was thinking this and on and on and on. (But not like I'm doing now! ;D) If a crime's been committed she should spill it. Otherwise she should put a smile on her face and keep her big mouth shut. :P
Google Chris Rock. He has LOTS of good tips for a healthy marriage. :)

Every day you wake and your feet hit the floor meditate for a moment or two as if you no longer had your spouse, then, go about every-day with (her/him) as if God has granted you a do-over.
Sorry, it's not scriptural advice for you.
