So I am finally getting hitched after having dithered so long in the past. Have been with my fiance for 5 years and we are very happy indeed. But what one piece of advice can my fellow lifers share to ensure the magic stays alive?

    Don't take marital advice from people on Charlton Life, especially on a Friday afternoon and especially, especially not two days before your wedding.

    Good luck and congratulations

    Have roleplay sex at least once a month, don't ever forget an occasion and keep the house tidy(ish)

    Henry - if I wanted serious advice believe me I wouldn't be here(although there have been many worthy and serious topics on this forum in the past)! Just Friday fun with my fellow lifers!!

    Learn to lie. If you think you already know how to, get better at it.

    Never take one another for granted and if you do have a little tiff always make up before you go to bed. Have a great day and best wishes.

    Tell her before the wedding that you're coming back from the honeymoon early to catch the Millwall game.

    It was by almighty luck that the wedding was on a non-Charlton home game weekend. Will have to miss Watford away though. The real honeymoon is next April. I bet we will either be scrapping for our lives or pushing for promotion, knowing my luck I'll be missing vital games then!

    Didn't know you were married to my bird before I started going out with her. She hasn't changed...

    Just use the stock phrase ' well if you don't know what I am like after 5 years' every time she picks a fault in something you have done.

    Have a hobby that is absolutely nothing to do with her (as well as going to football)
    Don't forget your mates - you need to go out for beers regularly
    Buy a dishwasher if you can afford one
    Buy a pair of sunglasses or get very, very good at having a quick glance around you when the sun is out...

    Have a great day.

    I'd amend that to: "have role-play sex with the wife at least once a month, and with your lover at least twice a week."

    The odd bunch of flowers. Make her feel special. Avoid looking at other women if she's around... Don't talk about Charlton/football/cars/boys toys too much! Come to think of it - wish I'd followed some of this advice myself! By the way - good luck - have a great day.

    having been married & divorced twice all I can say is just when you have women figured out, you find you were 100% hopelessly wrong......

    good luck !!

    1. Never tell a lie, not even a white one.
    2. Let her have her opinions.
    3. Always remember she's not your possession.
    4. Never play down or make jokes about menstruation.
    5. Be the best friend she's ever had.

    I'm not your average macho geezer so realize these rules can be tough for some. I wish you everything you wish yourself. Have a great day.

    Hide your porn stash, and make sure the PC screen doesn't face the door when she walks in the room.

    Don't expect everything to be perfect and be willing to compromise.
