It’s Marriage Monday at The Newlywed Life and this week in light of the financial fallout our economy is facing I’ve got a money tip for everyone:
Don’t Avoid Difficult Financial Conversations. I realize that most people don’t want to read about these things so I’ll be quick and to the point. Just because you don’t talk about something doesn’t mean that it’s not happening. When it comes to money, ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance can leave you, your new husband, and future children - gasp! - in financial ruins. Some topics for discussion include retirement plans, taxes, life insurance, disability insurance, will/living trust, previous child’s support and ex-wife’s alimony payments.
Remember, there’s nothing wrong with not knowing what to do in your marriage, but there is something wrong in not finding out.

Do You Really Know Your Husband?
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.
