2. communication is important 

What can we do without communication?
Communication problems are one of the common issues a lot of married couples face every single day.

So learn how to communicate effectively with your spouse as soon as possible. Without effective communication, you will encounter a lot of problems in your marriage.

Effective communicating is a crucial element for a successful marriage.

3. Learn from other true married couples. 

There are some good married couples you should be looking up to. And just in case someone's giving good advice to newlyweds, listen.
But make your own decisions, apply what works for you and your marriage don't just follow the crowed.

4. Have reasonable marriage expectations. 

We all have different perception to things of life and that's why we don't always see things from the same angle.
The way you were raised is different from the way your spouse was raised, and as such, what you expect to be the “norms and tradition” might not be so for your spouse. Discuss your marriage expectations, be realistic, and compromise with each other.

And don’t expect your marriage to be like what you see in the movies.

5. Learn to adjust to each other. 

Adjusting to marriage is not going to be easy for every couple. For example, adjusting to your new name change, living together in the same house, sharing responsibilities, etc. can be a challenging time for new couples.

6. Trust each other. 

Trust is one of the most important elements in marriage. You can not have a healthy marriage without trust. Trusting your spouse is very critical to succeed as a married couple.

7. Share house chores.

Who does what? What other responsibilities do you have to share?

It's not that you divide everything equally, but then you need to be helpful in doing some house chores. It must not always be your wife responsibility to do everything in the house, as a matter of fact, this is one way to be more romantic as a husband.

Think about the chores you both love and enjoy doing. Split these chores and do them diligently.
If you both dislike doing a particular chore(s), take turns doing it.

8. Talk about everything.

Yes! It's good to talk about everything and anything at all with your spouse.
It's the part of the effective communication we are talking about.

9. Be independent and interdependent

Make time for yourself so you can continue to do the things you are passionate about. Getting married does not mean you can not continue doing the things you love.

Dedicate time to spend  with your spouse so you can grow together as a couple.

Choose one thing you can both do to connect and grow together every day. You don’t want to wake up 10 years later and notice you have grown apart.

10. Money matter matters 

What can you do without money?
Our best financial advice for new couples is to figure out your finances. Talk about your past financial history.

What are your financial goals for the future? Will you have joint or separate bank accounts?  Remember that there is no his or her money, the two become one.

11. Commitment to your marriage. 

Work on your marriage daily and never take your spouse for granted, show and let them know you appreciate them. Make sacrifices for each other.

12. Learn about your new family.

And how best you can relate with them.

When your spouse has issues with your family members, it best you handle them yourself. You know your family members better than your spouse.

Do not forget to set boundaries in your marriage too, you shouldn't involve extended family too much with your new family.

13. Forgive each other.

I consider this to be the most important marriage advice especially for the newlyweds. Because there's no way you can avoid mistakes and some errors in your marriage life, but your ability to handle them is what matters.
Forgive and forget each other mistakes and learn not to repeat the same mistake over and over again.

14. Don't expect perfection. 

Yes, it's as simple as that. We all have flaws, you can't be 100% perfect, it's not possible, so be considerable in your dealings.

15. Celebrate any wins, successes, awards etc. together as a couple.

Carry your partner along, always celebrate together as a family, it's makes your bond stronger.


16. Touch, hug and kiss each other as often as possible.
It's necessary to be romantic in your marriage. It's helps strengthen your relationship.

17. Save money for a rainy day.

When making any big purchases like buying a car, discuss it with your spouse first and make sure you have put every other things into consideration.
And only go ahead to make the purchase if they agree.

18. Resolve your conflicts amicably.

Handle your conflicts, disagreements, arguments maturely and in a healthy way and don't always involve third-party to know what is happening in your marriage.

19. Never fight in public.

It will only ridicule your personality and make you look stupid and dirty.
Avoid this by all means.

20. Expect challenges.

Challenges are what makes life meaningful, without which we will never be able to reach our potential.
Life will hand you some lemons, make the best use of them.

21. Change your vocabulary.

Avoid using the word “Divorce”  and your “I” also becomes “We”. As you are now one body.

22. Enjoy your newlywed status.

You will not be a newlywed forever. But let your newlywed bliss stay forever in your marriage. So enjoy your new status and do not let it fade away for any reason.

The longer this bliss stays in your marriage, and life, the happier you will both be as a married couple.

23. Be proud of your spouse.

If you are not proud of your spouse, why did you get married in the first place?
So, be very proud of each other.
