This summer’s crop of engaged bloggers have enough to worry about trying to please everyone with their wedding plans. Didn’t Roba and Dima’s posts about the latest in Ammani wedding trends just make you want to gag?
In addition, there are tons of people with very negative ideas about marriage out there, wanting these pre-newlyweds to live in fear of having a marriage just like they do. I’ve heard some stories that curl my hair and would make me swear off marriage forever. Not to mention the reality of rising divorce rates and the marriage/divorce carousel of Hollywood. But contrary to what some say, the marriage certificate is not the end of the fun, but the beginning of seeing the very best of who you are emerge and develop.
I’d like to see all of us married blogger folk give it up and encourage these newbies/prebies with some of the real-life joys of matrimony (PG rated, tie-yeb?) and tips to make it/keep it that way. Ready, set…type!

Thank you, will do.
Hamede, I look forward to your concise advice!
look out for my blog soon…..easy to do, and fun too…i might want to add to the old post somethings too…i can never say enough about the bliss of being married…to the right person that is!
thanks.
Any sane person would be as far away from marriage as they can
Marriage is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO overrated!
oh darn it, its going to be PG rated
kinzi actually one Q to u, since i recently discovered ur much older than i thought u were ( i placed u in the early 30 bracket)
so which is better have fun and get married at a latter age ?
or get married early and discover life wiht ur partner ?
I’d probably advise them to think twice before they doing it … KIDDING! well not really … no no, I really am kidding …
ok kinzi, will do! thanks for the homework!
before they do it*, that is
Summer, I can’t wait to learn from you, our most seasoned married blogger!
Qwaider, 3anjad? You have more experience married than I am aware of? Funny, I see in you the capacity for a really dynamic marriage. You are right…the media-enhanced version of marriage is both over rated on the junk, and yet also underrated on the joy.
Who-Sane..watch it!!! PG!! But, i completely agree…I think they should think 1000 times before tynig the knot, and should not do it* before they do it.
bambam…glad I come across as young as I feel (I’m 47)
I look and feel better than I did in my 30s. Without out going into too much, I’ve experienced both sides of that question. The latter was a disaster (see my post “5 Things You Don’t Know About Me”) but led me to faith in God through it. The former was a gift from God, all the more precious because of the anguish of the first, and the complete forgiveness granted for by poor choices.
I think people offer more to a marriage/spouse when they have gotten an education and taken some risks in life first. But, in terms of ‘having fun’, (I think you mean the R & X rated stuff) marriages gain greater intimacy when both partners have kept themselves G rated.
But I am a newly-wed!! how could you forget me :p
kidding…
Well, I have a part of my experience on my blog, though it has a dark side, but things gets better and better by the day. for now, I would only say that I would’ve married earlier if I knew how sweet the life can get
that’s right, Hani!!! How could I forget? I don’t remember clearly, except that I prayed for you, I better go back and read. Maybe you could give advice on what would have helped you both avoid a dark side? Sometimes sweetness is more complete after having tasted the bitter.
Marriage..?
in my opinion, in order to have a lovely marriage..each one of us should marry the one he/she love..
am i right?
Maher, welcome! I agree…but add, to choose to continue the one we love in good times and in bad.:)

You’te right,we take things for granted.God has been teaching me all about it,you don’t know what you have until you have lost it.Take heat for instance in the icy cold of the winter and air conditioner in the summer,I knew God was talking to me by cutting both off intermittently,so I learned to adabt to the situtions until the problems were fixed, and now I am so appreciative of both and am thanking God all the time for it,without the suffering I would not have had the feel good moments with God that I have enjoyed since.
