It’s Marriage Monday at The Newlywed Life and this week I’ve got three tips to make sure you really know your husband.
Do know what makes him happy. A big juicy stake, playing flag football in the park, making love to you. You should know what makes your husband happy and do your best to keep him that way.
Do learn each other’s favorites. Foods, colors, places, songs, people, and sodas… take the time to learn about the things your spouse loves.
Do appreciate his interests. You don’t have to like them, but respect them… as long as they are respectable.
Remember, there’s nothing wrong with not knowing what to do in your marriage, but there is something wrong in not finding out.

Daily Dose of Do’s and Don’ts
It’s Marriage Monday at The Newlywed Life and this week I’ve got three tips for you to consider as you and your new hubby settle into your new roles as husband and wife.
Don’t expect your husband to nurture you like a woman does. It’s just not how most men are made. It that’s what you need, call your mother, your sister or your girlfriends.
Do know that husbands have selective hearing. They can hear the game on television that’s across the room while they’re sleeping, but you can talk five feet in front of their face and they many not hear a word you’re saying.
Don’t jump on him when he walks through the door from work. Women are ready to vent; men need at least fifteen minutes, and a trip to the bathroom.
Remember, there’s nothing wrong with not knowing what to do in your marriage but there is something wrong with not finding out.

Sex … All Night Long or One Hour Strong?
It’s Hump Day at The Newlywed Life, the one day a week I dish about sex. Husband was flipping through this…
(No, this post is not about the cover, even though it’s oozing sex.)
… and handed me the magazine to look at the article, “The 33 Most Overrated.” While he was laughing at something at the top of the list, it was the bottom that grabbed me.
Number 33 on Blender magazine’s most overrated people, places, trends and other junk in rock list is Sexin’ All Night Long. The article reads:
“Usher, Keith Sweat, AC/DC, Prince…we could go on and on about the mack daddies who brag about going on and on – hittin’ it, workin’ it and doing other stuff to it – until the break of dawn. Even Dokken have a song about all-night boning. Two words for all these guys: Shyeah, right! Have you actually ever tried sexin’ it for more than, like, two hours? You get bored. You get sores. You get tired. Call us square, but unless you’re Sting or a crystal-meth addict, an all-night sex marathon sounds about as fun as an all-day Friends marathon. Underrated alternative: Sexin’ for 45 minutes and getting 10 hours sleep.”
Is it me or is this funny as hell? When was the last time you had sex for more than two hours… in a row? Gasp! My newlywed wives might have a little different answer than my veterans, especially if the sexin’ hasn’t spawned any children yet. Kudos to those with the stamina to sustain, but the underrated alternative might not be so, ahem, underrated.

Money, Money, Money
It’s Marriage Monday at The Newlywed Life and this week I’ve got three money don’ts to help keep your marriage, and your check book, balanced.
Don’t mistake money for power. Confusing the two in a relationship can lead to its end.
Don’t count pennies. “I made this much; you made that much.” That is very dangerous territory. Never use how much you earn against each other.
Don’t expect everything to be equal. You are in a partnership now. Sometimes you do more; sometimes your partner will do more. That’s the beauty of having a partner.
Remember, there’s nothing wrong with not knowing what to do in your marriage, but there is something wrong in not finding out.

If You Can't Beat 'Em, Join 'Em
This week’s Wives’ Words appropriately marks the beginning of football season…
“All I can say is have patience and if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. Sit and watch the games with him at least every now and then. If that doesn’t work, put a teddy on if need be and give him a halftime show he’ll never forget.” – Allison, married 12 years.

Sex Signs
It’s Hump Day at The Newlywed Life, the one day a week I dish about sex. This week I have a question for you: do you know what kind of sex signals you send to your spouse? And, when you send them?
You are sending sex signals, whether you mean to or not. And, believe me, your husband is reading them, correctly or not. When you’re tired, overworked, and completely distracted your husband can read that in your body language. If you come home after a hard day's work then go change into your favorite pair of sweatpants and an oversized T-Shirt, he knows his chances of getting them off of you are slim. That’s not to say that he won’t try, but more than likely a red flag went up when those sweatpants went on – especially if you normally slip into something sexy when you’re trying to seduce him.
