1. Have a cheap wedding:
The easiest thing to start fighting about marriage is finances. Take time to spend only what you can conveniently afford. Otherwise, money based arguments will find their way into the bedroom.

2. Use the word “we” often:
According to a study carried out in University of California, Berkeley, couples who use the word ‘we’ and ‘us’ when they are arguing easily resolve their issues and don’t suffer much stress.

3. Doing things that you both enjoy:
Some people participate in activities their partner strongly dislikes. This may lead to unhappiness in the marriage.

4. You are going to disagree :
I the first disagreement my husband and I had – we thought the world was LITERALLY ending! We quickly learned that as husband and wife – we definitely weren’t going to see eye to eye on EVERY little circumstance. And not only were we not going to see eye to eye, but that was okay! You are going to hit bumps and road blocks on your journey together, but it is how you get through them that matters. I always just say, “It’s okay if you disagree with me. I can’t force you to be right.”

5. Think before you speak :
I will be the first to tell you that I am a TALKER and I can ramble on and on about anything. When it comes to your spouse, be careful what you say. They have feelings too and for some reason when a comment comes from those we love, we take it to heart much more.

"cheap wedding" yeah right, middle class men use this illusion to plan and budget their wedding, we all know at the end the expenses do sur their budget line. then it won't be "cheap" in their eyes.

I have a friend who deluded himself into believing he can have a cheap wedding.

After he calculated how much he's spent just a month to the wedding, he was looking at 2.7 million Naira.

When he told me this, I laughed at him and told him straight in his face that, that money could have been enough to send his kids through primary and secondary school, not to talk of university.

He asked me later how much is my estimate of a 'cheap wedding' I simply told him, "go to court and get married". The only expense is just transport fare, to and fro.

Yea, actually, that's the truth. Expenditure usually run high at the end of the day. But really, must there be a reception after the church blessings?
