Congratulations on your recent marriage Mary!

When we first married people would come to the door and ask for my Mum and Dad. I'd say 'no but you can speak to my husband'. I was 23 - and my husband is actually younger than me - but apparently I only looked about 16.

Advice?
Try to remain 'friends' always.
Keep a sense of humour.
The old adage never let the sun set on a quarrel is a good one.

One thing I really think is worth doing, though, is getting a book on the differences between the male and female brains. I have a few of them. I suppose the most well-known is the Venus & Mars one - though whether it's the best is another matter!

Really, though, male & female brains work differently and lots of misunderstandings can result. This can result in arguments if you don't realise what is happening. It is much easier to understand each other and each other's behaviour if you understand a bit about the science behind it.
