One year and 5 months, took no fricking time getting her knocked up either 
Got married November 2019, came back from the honeymoon the Friday before the Bama game. Told her if she wanted a fall wedding that it would have to be on a bye week. She didn’t fight me on that. She’s a keeper. And by March 2020, found out she was pregnant. December 5, had a baby girl.

5) Make big financial decisions together. Don't keep separate bank accounts
I am on my second marriage and we have been married for 24 years. I agree with every point you listed except keeping separate banking accounts. We both have our “mad money” accounts along with our joint account. Before we decided to keep a personal account for each of us we would always have issues with spending on our personal hobbies. If I spent $100.00 on a fishing rod she would bitch about it. Then she would turn around and spend hundreds on jewelry or clothes or shoes or whatever. When we mutually agreed to keep a small account t for our personal spending we no longer had these issues. But it has to be a mutual agreement and it has to be in addition to a joint account where all bills are paid from along with all our household needs, groceries etc.

How long have you been married?
25 years this past January.
Wife and I were set up on a blind date by mutual friends while we were in college. Within a week we were talking about our future together. Got engaged officially a year later and married the January after that.
Tips? Honestly, there are none. You have to be lucky I think. Not everyone finds a perfect match. I certainly do not believe in "soul mates" or that there is only one person for everyone. Given geography and the total number of people, that's fricking absurd to even think such a thing. "I'm with the only person I could be with...who happened to go to the same school at the same time as me, despite the literally billions of others possible matches worldwide..."
I think it's like puzzle pieces. You know how sometimes you try and put a piece in and it's obviously wrong and you stop trying quickly? Other times it really looks like a match, but deep down you're pretty sure it isn't because you had to push a little bit to make it fit? Then you finally see the right one and it slides right it effortless and you move on to other things.
That's what happened with my wife. I had done the "almost fit" before and thankfully did not get married to her, because I'd have stuck it out for a while but it eventually would not have worked out. But despite there having been tons of ups and downs in our life together, we've almost NEVER fought about anything. And that's despite being very different people, that happen to compliment each other well.
I sincerely feel badly for most people I see struggling, and I worry for my boys as they get older. There was nothing either of us did...we just happened to find each other. We were very lucky, and thankfully recognized it immediately.

we do okay with separate accounts, which means I pay all of the bills and she gets to blow her dough on what ever she pleases

23 years this year. She hung with me for my last several years in the Corps...can’t beat that.

Had 18 in first marriage...nearly 10 years into my second.

I'd rather wait until things are more financially sound
This is what we did as well. We had a very specific milestone to hit, and it was only reached in the past couple of months.

10 years was always my roundabout ideal time, so the cards have fallen right so far.

I feel this way about my marriage too.
We joke that our biggest fight was over the time she ripped a tomato plant out of my garden.
I'm still bitter about it too...

33 years in June.
Posted on 4/27/21 at 9:09 am to Bourre
We’re coming up on 5 years; been together 6. Worked and lived together almost that entire time so we’re together 24/7.
It’s all about finding the right woman. Mine is my best friend and I have zero clue what I’d do without her.

I know couples that keep separate accounts and split up the bills. If one is short then they have to "borrow" from their spouse.
It's more like they are keeping insulated from the full commitment of marriage by keeping their individual accounts.

That's how you two made it work. You reached a decision together.

Neither one of us have ever raised our voice to the other in a fight...like REALLY yelling. It's crazy, really. We just get along, always have.
I'm not saying we don't disagree on things, but even when we do it's nothing huge. Only on a handful of occasions have either of us gone to bed mad at the other.
I'm not sure I'd have tips, so much as a list of the way we have lived our life together and then raised our boys. Did those things lead to a happy marriage, or did we do those things because we were happy together and it happened to be what we did? Dunno...
