Are you a maker of memes? Do we need to be careful not to become a meme?

Marriage Advice: protect your spouse from becoming a viral meme.

Always make a little occasion of:
Birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine’s day, Christmas, Easter,
(Don’t forget your spouse! ☺️)

A holy person I was reading about was told by Jesus: ‘Celebrate everything together as a family. And: pray the rosary together daily.’
 
Tidy up your own mess (after breakfast/ dinner/ supper), your own things/ room,

Don’t expect mind-blowing sex on your wedding night.

Made me LOL, but so true…If it’s the first time you are having sex with each other it’s just not like a romance novel. It’s not going to be mind-blowing the first time because it takes time to get to know each other’s bodies.

Yeah. I think for men better advice might be that your wife will take time to actually get to the place where they enjoy it as much as you do. And it will take a little time and work.

That’s not to say it won’t be a beautiful and precious memory.

You are speaking of the 18 minute gap…also heard this in pre cana over 30 years ago. It takes 2 minutes for a man to be “ready” for intercouse. It takes a woman 20… Hence the beauty of foreplay. 😉

Not just that though. It takes time and communication for both spouses to be “good” for the other in this area. Depending on the atmosphere and circumstances a woman can be ready pretty fast, but that’s no good if the man doesn’t know how to “please her”.

Here’s my advice, it’s the same advice my mother gave me (and several other young relatives of hers), but no one on here is going to like it.

Wait till you’re over 30 to get married.

I got engaged on my 30th birthday. Mom herself got engaged at 35. Her nephew who she also gave that advice to got married at some age over 30.
All of us had nice long happy drama-free marriages that lasted till death do us part.

Funny, I would recommend the absolute opposite. I would recommend getting married younger. I was 28 when I got married and 34 when we had our first child.

I would totally recommend marrying younger and have kids younger. I’m currently 41, and if I could do it all over, I would have not waited to have kids. I think it’s wonderful when children get to know their great-grandparents.

God bless
 
Even if I had kids at age 18, they would not have known their great-grands. Two of the great grands died before I was born, one died when i was a toddler, and the last one died when I was 14 or 15.
My parents were both the youngest children of large families, so their parents were all around 40 when they were born.
