Just posting. I got engaged! On Sunday I fumbled through the proposal. I had a few false
starts and almost thought I dropped my ring. It was honestly really awkward and not very
romantic (despite my intentions). Thankfully, she said yes.
I've sort of posted/started a thread before but does anyone have any tips on what to do/not
do for a successful marriage? Alternatively, for those without successful marriages, any things to
avoid doing? Red fl ags? ■

1. Lower your expectations. She isn't perfect. Neither are you.
2. Put her on a pedestal. ■
Never go to bed angry at your spouse. If something they did or didn't do is bothering you, tell
12/22/2021
Congratulations. Marriage is 90/10, 10/90. You both have to work for it to work. Love is
what you do, not what you feel. We just celebrated 35 years. ■

them. Holding it in will only make it fester and result in unproductive situations in the future. ■
47 years for us. I have learned over the years. When momma ain't happy, no one is happy.
Seriously, though? Be best friends always. ■
She works in tech. She's also younger, way better looking, and has a wicked sense of humor

and left cross. Somehow, she said yes. ■
Congratulations! From someone who failed in one marriage and still tried it again: Find
12/22/2021
things you can do together. Things that aren't work or chores or whatever. Interests you can
cultivate together. There's nothing worse than fi nding out you have no common interests or
passions you can pursue together.
Listen, listen, listen. Don't let the sun go down on your (or her) anger. Talk about it. And
when you do fi ght, fi ght fairly and nicely. Don't be a jerk or a name caller or act like you're better
than she is. Always have time for her. Talk about your day, even if it seems trivial to you, so she's
included in your life, too. Resist the urge to always give advice and problem-solve. Sometimes
you are just the sounding board, not the person with the solution. ■
