WHAT IS THE BEST MARRIAGE ADVICE YOU GOT ?

My people...how's everyone doing? A few days before the wedding we met up with the sweet Lady that did our fabulous wedding decor - Nwandos Signatures and somehow our conversation tilted from wedding planning to marriage advice.
She gave a lot of invaluable advice and 2 that stood out for me were:

1. No matter the gravity of the fight you're having as a married couple., make sure you sleep on the same bed at night. It's difficult to hold grudges when body dey touch body and like the popular saying "body nor be firewood"...it aint! LOL.



2. She also emphasized on making sure couples do not disrespect one another because it is easy to take each other for granted.

From our short counselling at Church we also got a lot of advice: pray together, learn to forgive, play your role, wife submit to your husband, man love your wife. We wrote them all down like good students, as they say "marriage is an institution where you receive the certificate and you never graduate".

There's also little bits from friends and family: always "give" him whenever, spice up your marriage in the bedroom and kitchen (that was said with a mischievous wink) support one another, obey your husband, explore one another, man don't hit your wife...it goes on. 

So over to you: what is the best marriage advice you got when you were getting married or what have you learned over the years being married, share with us the secret of your successful marriage/relationship. It is not just for my benefit, it will serve others who will read this post and the comments, so be honest oh!
