8 Things that wives want you to know before you get married

8 Things that wives want you to know before you get married

Here are some words of wisdom from wives who want to share the things that they've learned after getting married!

1. No one’s going to judge your appearance on your wedding day

Of course, you’re going to look absolutely beautiful on your wedding day, so don’t worry too much about not having a flat stomach, or worrying if your arms are flabby or not.

So relax, don’t fret, and make sure to feel beautiful on your wedding day!

2. Talk about your long-term plans with your soon-to-be husband

As a couple, it’s important to talk about your long-term plans, even if you’re not married yet. Talk about your future, if you want to have kids, your plans for your career, everything.

It’s important to get those things settled before you get married so that you won’t run into any problems or conflicts of interest when you’re already married.

3. Don’t make assumptions

As a married couple, you’ll soon be living together, and it’s important to not make assumptions when it comes to the chores at home, the finances, and other important decisions that you’ll make as a couple.

Talk about who will be doing the chores, managing the finances, and all of the other responsibilities that the both of you will be handling. Remember, the both of you are equals, so it’s important to distribute the responsibilities evenly.

4. Write your own wedding vows

Your wedding is surely one of the most memorable moments of your life, so it’s important to make an extra effort, especially when it comes to your wedding vows.

You don’t need to write an amazing piece of literature, but it has to be honest, loving, and comes from the heart.

5. Talk about having a family

Sometimes, problems arise when your husband wants kids, but you’re not quite ready. That’s why talking about the future of your family is necessary since you and your husband need to be on the same page.

If you don’t want kids just yet, make sure that your husband respects your decision.

6. Communicate

Talking to your spouse is very important. Being vocal about your feelings and emotions can vastly improve your relationship, especially if you’re already married.

So don’t be afraid to not talk about various matters with your soon-to-be husband. After all, you’ll be spending the rest of your life together, so make sure to know each other very well!

7. Fix any relationship problems before you get hitched

Problems are normal in any relationship. However, not resolving those problems can make things much worse when you’re already married.

Addressing any problems in the relationship is very important before you finally tie the knot, since once you get married, there’s no turning back.

8. Have fun!

Getting married is one of the most amazing moments in your life, so make the most out of it! Don’t stress yourself out too much over trivial details. Just enjoy yourself, and be happy that you’ve finally found the man that you can spend the rest of your life with.
