New Marriage-Just The Beginning

New Marriage-Just The Beginning

The beginning of a marriage can seem like a magical time, but it can also be a time where you can easily start building resentments and distrust if you are not careful. Here are a few points to keep in mind so you can keep your new marriage feeling for a long time to come.

Probably one of the most difficult, and potentially dangerous, situations for a newlywed couple is finding the right balance when dealing with in-laws. This can be especially difficult if one of the partners was still living at home right before the marriage.

It can take time for the parent to learn to let go and they may want to be in the life of their newlywed child more than the newlywed child, and spouse, would really like.

It’s important that the newlyweds stay united on this front. Decide (compromise if you have to) on what the limits will be. Decide if you think the parents should call before they stop by, or if you think you should limit the number of visits and calls weekly.

Once the two of you have come up with a plan you can both agree on, it’s time to tell the folks. Whether you do it together as a couple or one on one will depend on the unique dynamic of the relationship. If the parents of one partner don’t particularly like the spouse, it may be best if the child talks to their parents without their spouse,otherwise there could be fireworks.

The other big problem a new marriage can face is not knowing how to be a couple. You’ve both been independent and it might take some time to begin to think more like a couple.

No one is saying that you have to lose your identity, far from it. It’s really all about balance. Finding the right balance between your “couplehood” and your independence. And the right balance for you and your marriage may not be right for someone else. You and your spouse need to find your balance.

For example, some newlyweds feel like they need to be joined at the hip but unless you are both comfortable with that arrangement, it will only cause trouble. Instead, why not keep the same basic balance you had before you were married? Is there any real reason that that has to change just because you are married? In most cases, no.

You also have to both be willing to talk about things like money and feelings. I know it can be hard and you don’t have to share every little thing, but you are in this together now and it’s important to establish trust and open lines of communication. The sooner you both learn to do it the smoother your marriage will be.

For many newlywed couples the issues they face are pretty easy to deal with when compared to issues they are likely to deal with later in the marriage. If you can’t find a way to work through these easy issues what are you going to do when you have kids, or are faced with health issues, or money issues later in your marriage?

Think of your new marriage like the foundation of your married life. Take the time to make sure you both learn how to communicate, compromise and work through problems together. If you do you will enjoy your marriage a whole lot more.

Your questions about relationship advice

Helen asks…

relationship Advice!!!?

so i had a boyfriend for about 3 weeks. No secret.
Today, we had a fight cause i wouldn’t tell him what i was whispering into my friends ear(just a girl friend).
He just gets up, says, “Fine. Dont tell me.”
then walks a few blocks to his house till my friends caught up to him and convinces him to come back. i was outside just chilling, till i see my 2 best friends talking and laughing with him.
I was mad so i didn’t talk to him at all for hours. He didn’t say a word to me also.

Now, I dont know what i should do. I do want to end our relationship before something like this happens again, or talk to him tomorrow when i see him at school and work things out. I mean you DO learn from your mistakes. But hes just so rude.
Any advice

linda answers:

how old are you? if you’re considering ending a relationship over this shiit then you must be pretty young
anyways see him at school, work things out, say sorry or ask him to apologize and live happily ever after or whatever

Maria asks…

What is the best piece of relationship advice you can give to someone?

This is just a fun question. If there was one piece of relationship advice you could share with someone, regardless of the situation that they are in, what would it me?

Mine would be that if you are thinking of ending a relationship, and you can’t see yourself breathing a sigh of relief and being happy over it all being over, there might be something left there to fight for.

linda answers:

A piece of advice? “Stay single in the first place. Relationships are SO not worth it/overrated”.

Lisa asks…

Advice needed! How do you tell how fast to pace a relationship?

I know people say that it is all up to you, that you should do what you feel comfortable with. However, parents, peers, religion, and even hormones play a role in how fast to pace a relationship. With all those contributing factors, how do you tell what you SHOULD feel comfortable with? Please, any websites that help with relationship advice for young adults, and/or personal opinion and experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

linda answers:

Paul asks…

Relationship ADvice?

Ok i am dating this wonderful women who i met last year in class. We have been dating for 1 year and 2 months. I found out she likes this other guy? How should i confront her about this? should i be worried about htis? is this a normal thing? Will this affect our Relationship?

linda answers:

It’s normal for women to look at other guys and find them attractive- just like men do with other women. But if she actually wants to be with another guy or really likes him than something is wrong. It will end up affecting your relationship because she likes something about this other guy that you must not have. She will always compare you to him in her head. I’m not trying to sound mean- but if she likes another guy than she probably wants to try new things- as in new men. I would suggest that you find out if she likes him as a friend or as someone she could date. If you didn’t hear it from her- it may just be a rumor. Ask her and than make a decision if you want to be with someone that wants to be with other guys. Good luck!

Ken asks…

Relationship ADVICE!!?

I dated a guy and we dated for about and year and were totally extremely in love. But at the beginning of this year we had a mutual break up. A few weeks later I had a new boyfriend (I know this makes me sound kind of like a slut but I liked this guy for awhile and I thought I was over the other guy). Both of these guys are best friends by the way. Anyhow, now I’ve been going out with this guy for about 3 months. But I feel so different! I don’t like how I am feeling about this relationship I like him so much but it just isn’t the same as my last relationship and I am missing my ex- boyfriend even more. My ex-boyfriend now is trying to have a relationship with one of my best friends and it seems like he is purposely flaunting it in my face. I think he still has feelings for me because he always asks about my new relationship and asks how far we have gone, he throws the girl he likes in my face and today he just asked me to kiss him. I don’t know inside guys brains but he acts like he likes me. I just don’t want to get hurt again and the guy I am dating I like him so much! But I just miss my ex so much and the memories we had together. What should I do?

I could…
A.) Stay with my boyfriend now and act like everything is perfect
B.)Tell my boyfriend I still have feelings for my ex but I want to be with him still.
C.)Tell him I can’t be with him anymore, and tell my ex how I feel.
D.)You tell me!

linda answers:

You’re are no married to either one of these guys, you should be honest to your current boyfriend and let him know you still have feelings for you ex-boyfriend, don’t be and such a rush of having to being tried down to one person, or dating on person, because if you give all of yourself to your current boyfriend and he brakes up with you, you will be stuck because you didn’t leave your options open, If your current boyfriend is mature than he would understand, where you are coming from, guys had been playing the field for years, why not do the same. do tie yourself down so fast, get to know this new guy more instead of committing to be with him, and it doesn’t make you sound like a slut, you have the right to evaluate who you want to be with, just as guys do, we really need to let go of the stereotype, that women are sluts if they choose to date more than one man, who cares what people thing, do what makes you happy, do you!.

How To Get Back An Ex and Make It Stick

When wondering how to get back an ex, we often forget that we are working from a position of strength.  If you are trying to convince a new potential partner to notice you, you may have to try various different tricks to gain their attention.  You don’t know them so you don’t know which buttons to press.

But when dealing with your ex, you know exactly what they like and don’t like. You know which clothes they prefer you to wear, what scent or cologne, where they hang out and what they like doing in their spare time. You know her favorite flowers or what team he supports. You know this person intimately and you can use this knowledge to your advantage.  OK, you also have the disadvantage of the fact that you have already broken up once but that is not the end of the world. We all make mistakes and thankfully most can be rectified.

So don’t despair, you have a lot of things going for you.  Millions of couples the world over break up and get back together again and so can you.  You just need to know how to approach your ex-partner and convince them that you deserve another chance.   Honest communication is the best policy.  Don’t be tempted to play games, you are not a child and this is not the playground.  Some people will tell you that you should try and make your ex jealous.  But trying to hurt anyone doesn’t show any respect for that person’s feelings never mind those of the person you are using.

Unfortunately how to have a successful relationship is not a subject taught in school.  Some of us are lucky to have parents who are still together and have shown us by their example, what a happy partnership is.  But all too often this is not enough.  Go into any bookshop and you will see shelves of books on relationships.  How to make them better, how to make them work, how to meet the right man or woman, how to keep them once you meet them etc.  You think of any question you may have had about your relationship and there is a probably a book written to answer it.

But reading loads of books won’t turn you into a relationship expert overnight. You need to read the right material. You need to know that other people have found these books useful and been successful in attracting their ex back into their lives.

You want a course that doesn’t promise the earth but will help you to resolve your differences with your ex and enable you to become a happy couple once again.  Sometimes these books will claim to make you totally irresistible to the other sex.  But this isn’t what you want.  There is only one person you are interested in getting back.  So, it really is up to you.  You can stay home and be miserable wondering how to get back an ex or you can be constructive and take positive steps and hopefully soon you will be back in the arms of your lover once more.

9 Ways To Get Ex Back Hating You

So you want to know ways to get ex back in love with you? Be careful what actions you take in your efforts to get ex back. If you aren’t careful you may find more ways to get ex back hating you instead of loving you. Here are ways to get ex back hating you. If you don’t want your ex to hate you then DO NOT do these things.

Call them several times a day. This will bug them like crazy and may cause them to block your number. You can always get more numbers, though. Disposable phones and using friend’s cell phones are easy ways to get this done.

Keep writing them and letting them know how much you miss them. Letters, Emails, and Text Messages can hit them from several directions. Leave notes on their windshield. This is a great way to get their attention (and wrath).

Remind them frequently of things that they said and promises they made. Who says that things have to change? They said it once, so they must have meant it forever and just forgot. Constantly remind them. You will only be reminding them how good an idea it was to leave you.

Follow/Stalk them and let them know that every minute they live, you are right there. Every single breathe they take, you’ll be watching them. Be sure to grin whenever they see you. They will think your crazy and you may scare them. Be ready for the restraining order.

Bother their friends. Ask them constantly how they are doing and see if you can find out where they are going to be. Try to go everywhere that the friends are. Most likely they will be trying to get rid of you.

Call their new love interest and let the new flame know that you are the real love and it is only a matter of time before your ways to get ex back works. More than likely you will end up making both of them hate you and they could end up becoming closer because of the harassing you do.

Call their parents and try to be their parent’s best friend. You will only get the parents mad at you as well or drive a wedge between your ex and his parents. Either way, you have given your ex more reason to hate you.

Try dating their best friend. Your efforts to make them jealous may end up ruining another of their relationships. Sooner or later the best friend will realize that you are just using them and you will be alone again.

Call their workplace and ask about him or ask to talk to him. That will be a great way to get your ex back hating you, especially if it costs them their job.

There are ways to get ex back in love with you but get help and find out what things work. Be careful who you try to get help from. If they have a successful, long lasting romance or are trained at giving relationship advice, then they are good to get help from. If they have had a lot of short term relationships they may not be the best one to get help from. Follow your heart if you want to get ex back, but be careful what you do. Not all ways to get ex back that come to you naturally will make them love you again.
