Tips for Engaged Couples or Newlyweds
Enjoy each other and relish this special time in your life. Soak it up and memorize all the positive things, but know that before marriage a lot of the positive behaviors you do with one another come naturally. Over time they won’t be as natural, and you’ll have to do them whether you feel like it or not. So if you’re not feeling romantic, do things that will make you feel romantic.
If You Could Give Only One Piece of Advice…
Put your partner first. They are number one in your life. That means no secrets. It’s important to go to your partner to communicate and talk things out instead of bringing in a third party (girl friend or mother).
