re: Congratulations Revelator on your marriage this Saturday

Congrats Rev 
The only advice I can offer is something that our premarital counselor said to me. We read through the classic Ephesians 5 verse and said something like:
"Now TK421, you don't need to worry about her being subject to you, that is between her and God. Your responsibility is to love her as much as Christ loves you, and that is an incredibly difficult thing to do. If you find yourself getting caught up thinking about her honoring you, then you are not living up to your call as a husband."
Pretty rough, but I needed to hear it as a young hard-headed guy.

Great advice. Thanks TK

Congrats to Revelator and may your marriage be one of the 50% that survives, not one of the 50% that doesn't.

What is the proper way to bring up the prenup subject?
And, of course, congrats, Rev!! Are you prepared to have to spend a lot more money?

Congrats Rev! I hope you both have a long, fruitful life together
"Hey, what are your thoughts on prenups" is pretty much how my fiancee mentioned it to me. She and I are both pretty even-keeled and pragmatic about such things, so your mileage may vary if your SO tends to be dramatic.

Well the wedding and the honeymoon are already paid for and both our kids are grown and we both work so we are ok. Thanks.

Hope you and the new bride get to see plenty of sunrises and sunsets together.
Marriage is a great institution when you find the right one. After my divorce, I was blessed a second time.

Welcome to the married guys' club, Revelator!
I know I don't come downstairs to this board often, but when I do, I find we tend to have similar views on a lot of stuff. Not a condition for my well-wishes, but you get what I'm saying, I hope
Know you're getting tons of advice. I haven't been married long (3 years this year), but all I can say is keep the Lord first, her second, and you third, and life will be rewarding.
And try not to let her piss you off too bad WHEN she flips the bitch switch every now and then

On your anniversary every year...the two of you should make a very short (5 minutes?) video. Talk about what was done that year...goals for the next year and big goals for the future. Keep adding them together in a chain
I'm nowhere near married and this is probably something I'm going to do. Five minutes a month gets you a clean hour every year.
Congrats Rev. All the best.

Congratulations Revelator!!
Lots of great advice you have been given. Just remember, the two of you can always make it work if one of you is willing to say I'm sorry.
May God bless your marriage with much happiness and joy!!

After 10 years, you will have a video of about an hour. You will see how you two have changed, what goals you've accomplished..how your goals have changed, etc. Keep adding. After 20, you two will treasure it (as will your children should you have any)
What a great freaking idea! Where were you when I got married 8 years ago!!!

It happens when you least expect it. Both of mine came from nowhere.
Nowhere is out there somewhere.
