    Never go to bed angry. EVER. Talk things through. If you feel like you have to raise your voise, tell yur partnet that you need to cool down for a few minutes and take a breath. It works me and my husband. We got sealed in the seattle temple in 2003. We just celebrated our 3rd anniversary. Good luck, and God Bless.

    Oh, and try to do something special for you spouse often, whether its telling them how much you appreciate them, or getting a flower,or lighting some candles and being romantic, or whether its leaving little notes around the house. Always hold hands, and take time to be close even if its just a hug every day. It will keep you feeling close even when life is hectic and busy nd you dont have much time together.

    Buy "The Five Love Languages" by Gary Chapman. (And follow it.) It has helped our marriage greatly.

    Never allow your stubborness or pride prevent you from recognizing that you need more from each other, and make sure they know that. Trivial nuances can add up, and suddenly you realize you're unhappy with the person you married. Don't let your stubborness let you both get that far without talking about what you need to feel loved.

    Good luck! I hope you have a wonderful marriage together.

    One thing I would recommend - read the book "Between Husband and Wife"..it's really good and has some good insight into an LDS marraige.

    Just remember you picked each other for eternity - there are/were reasons- remind yourself often of those reasons! Remember to be respectful, loving, considerate and understanding.

    Good luck.

    When my wife and I got married in the LA Temple, the sealer sat with us for a few minutes before the ceremony, and told us to always tell each other you love them every day, and never stop talking to each other. Sound advice. To this I would add remain acutely aware of your relationship, and keep it the foundation that you build the rest of your lives upon.

    Congrats.

    Tell each other all of your secrets, even those that might hurt, before you marry.

    After you marry don't keep any secrets from each other.

    It's hard to be married to a stranger.

    Good Luck!

    well, first try not to move in together until you are married couples who do that have a fewer divorce rate and are pretty much happier... and make sure you are firmly secure b3fore you start having kids. that is my advice

    Before you get married, make sure you spend LOTS of time together NOT talking about the wedding.
