Advice on marriage. Respect, Respect, Respect!!! Remember that even though you are becoming ONE, you still are each individuals and although you may not always see eye to eye, respect one another's feelings and opinions. Also, even though you may not LIKE doing things your spouse does, try to be as involved as you can, without having to change who you are. Some examples, I DO NOT LIKE TO HIKE UP MOUNTAINS!!! However, I did with my baby and my in-laws, in the rain, and spent the night in a very small cabin without electricity or showers, might I add. And I did have fun. Does that mean I'll do it every year, NOPE!!! But I just might do it again. STEPHEN HATES TOWN CENTER MALL. He does not even like to drive near the mall. But he does, once in a while, go to the mall with me, and he does not even complain!!! Love yall!!!! Hmmm?? Advice on marriage. Respect, Respect, Respect!!!

Am I getting old or what!!! Two books that we like: The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman and a new one I am reading, Love and Respect by Emerson Eggerichs. It will save a lot of hard knocks if you will learn from these too. Wish we could be there in June. I can’t believe I am writing to Sarah about getting married! Am I getting old or what!!!

I've talked to a few married couples who say think about your priorities. The area where you will be staying the most and what you can get later yourselves. Separate the important from the un-important (like fine china and everyday use plates and glasses, luxrious bath towels and regular towels) It was highly recommended that you get some good kitchen towels. I do know you will need replacments every now and then. One of the neat things is what you would not normally get for yourself, given the opportunity. Perhaps a vaccum cleaner would be nice. Anyway, good luck on your serch. About the books: Well, (sounds like a deep subject doesn't it?) You guys have an abundance out there. Which ones appeal to you? Some simple advise? Talk everything, everything out and do not let the sun go down on any arguments. We're glad you two are different but have similar interests and backgrounds. It will go a long way! Never, ever forget your commiment to each other. Always treat each other with dignity and respect. Never let anyone invade your home and lives. This is your sanctuary. Last, but not least, always keep God number one in your lives, individually and as a couple. Let's do another hike. How about Mt. LeConte? About your registry.

Certainly no house-buying tips since we've never done it. But we have read a lot of marriage/relationship books and really recommend: Love Life for Every Married Couple by Ed Wheat Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas Intended for Pleasure by Ed Wheat Wild at Heart by John Eldredge Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman As for registering - you guys seem to be on the right track! Practical, practical, practical. Useful stuff is so much better than...un-useful stuff. :) Hi Chad and Sarah!
