Advice for the Couple

Everyone loves to give advice! And who better to give it to than a couple of newlyweds who've yet to experience the ups and downs of marriage? In the comments below, give James and Meredith a little piece of you that they can hold on to throughout their relationship.

For example:
"To James and Meredith from [Insert name], always remember this: You will grow old and you will both change, but the fun part is falling in love with the same person over and over again."

It can be a quote like above, a single word, a link or something you've learned from your own relationships. Ready, go!

  3. I have two:

    1. Always remember that life is long. In the heat of the moment, what feels super important will likely fade in importance as time goes by. Before you react by yelling, tossing insults or unkind words, remember that "This, too, shall pass". In fact, recent studies have shown that even the most unhappiest of couples report being very happy five years later. So don't let one unfortunate incident, difficult argument or challenging moment destroy your lifetime of happiness.

    2. Wake up every morning and ask yourself this one question: What one thing can I do for my partner today that will make his/her day easier?

    Love you both so incredibly much! Bobby and Brenda Decker

  4. Here are a few things that I can think of:
    - Always treat each other with kindness and respect.
    - Don't ever take each other for granted.
    - Always be best friends.
    - Have dates with each other, especially once you have children.
    - Be supportive of each others dreams.
    - Communicate; it's best not to talk about your marriage with others. It's your relationship and disagreements should be worked out between the two of you.
    - Give lots of hugs and kisses, just because.

    We love you both and pray that you will have a long and happy life together!

  5. My Grandpa's advice to me was never go to bed angry. He was married to my Grandma for 60 years so I always took that advice to heart!
