When getting married, having pets needs to be a mutual decision. Bringing a pet into your home is similar in many ways to having a child. Both partners must agree to having one, sharing the care and expenses. It may be hard for you to change your mind if you were brought up a certain way; these ideas are engrained in your head and can be difficult to break. Maybe you did not have animals in the home and this can cause problems if one of you is allergic or you do not feel that pets should be pampered and should be treated as such, animals. So make sure if only one of you is an animal lover that you discuss these issues before the wedding. Too many marriages have ended in divorce due to pet disagreements.

However, Newlyweds who have pets already usually find the transition easier. However, many pets do not. They may not like your partner and shy away from them, dogs and cats may bite, growl and hiss at your new partner. Many pack type animals like dogs are territorial so they may fight for the pack leader position, or cause physical problems to your new home by wetting the carpet or chewing on furniture. So make sure that you introduce your pets early on in the relationship prior to getting married , let them play together or hang out together when you are on dates as well.

If you don’t already know about the nationally acclaimed dog behavior specialist, The Dog Whisperer, Caesar Millan, we suggest you visit his website, and check out his tips and his online videos of his hit show on the National Geographic channel. His main techniques are for dogs, however, his concept on human behavior can probably work for cats too.

One of the toughest parts about getting married is figuring out the financial side of things. With financial difficulties ranking as one of the major factors leading to divorce, going into a new marriage can be a bit confusing. There are a bunch of things to think about that some couples leave out of the lime-light.

One thing is you have to be sure of is that you both maintain credit in your own names. This is important so if you ever want to start your own business, or if you ever get divorced or become widowed you’ll be fully prepared. You and your new may need to sit down and designate who’s going to take over what. Such as, she pays the bills- he takes care of stocks and taxes. Whatever you two decided, be sure you keep the other person informed at all times.

Another thing couples forget to think about is retirement. Go over how you see yourselves retiring together and discuss what it will take to get there. Having a plan when you first get married is the key to a successful retirement.

Then there’s the debate on the Pre-Nuptial Agreement. For some woman, even thinking of a pre-nup is a sign of insecurity. However, a prenuptial agreement is nothing more than a piece of paper “just in case”. Think of it this way… you never know what you’re future will hold, isn’t it better to be safe than sorry?

LINGERIE AND ROMANCE

They say that after you’ve been married for awhile the romance gets lost between work, family and money issues. Gentlemen, the way to a woman’s heart is more than having sex. If you ask most seasoned married women they’ll tell you the funniest things like, take out the garbage, put the seat down, grab a vacuum cleaner every once in a while, offer to take the kids to doctor appointments and maybe make dinner. Sounds simple but believe it or not doing these things can help add to a very romantic evening. Follow these things with more romantic ideas like reading her a love poem, sending her a romantic note, sending her flowers or even asking her out on a fun and romantic date. Above all just remember, Happy Wives make Happy Husbands!

Ladies, remember that your husband has chosen you over all the other women in the world. All men have needs both physical and emotional and it is essential that you meet those needs in order to keep him happy. There will be times when motherhood or work gets in the way of your mood. Don’t forget about the spontaneous romantic moments you had to gether. Shop for new lingerie not only for him but for yourself. Purchasing lingerie can help build a women’s self confidence and help her feel sexy. If you feel uncomfortable going to the mall, shop online for sexy lingerie or something as simple as a new bra or panties. 

Keep the passion alive and communicate your needs to one another and that will help you maintain a happy marriage.

According to 360 Degrees Financial Literacy, an online website that offers general information for managing personal finances, you’ll want to make sure you and your spouse review your auto coverage before deciding whether to combine auto insurance.

If you both own your own car and you have single coverage you may qualify for a better rate by combining them into one policy for a multi-car discount. State Farm Insurance is one example who offers this coverage. However, you may also want to consider before combining policies whether your spouse has a decent driving record, and has not been in several accidents. This can also  effect the cost of your insurance.

In the long run, policy rates are cheaper for married couples on one policy versus a single car policy, however, it is best to check with both of your agents to get price quotes and to let them know that you are now married.

Purchasing Life Insurance for your new spouse may not be as romantic and fun as it was planning your wedding, but in reality, you both need coverage to protect you and your spouse against unforseen risks. Married couples who don’t have kids may not need coverage right away, however, if you are both young and healthy you can lock in lower rates. If you are married with children from a previous marriage or only one of you works, it is in the best interest to get coverage on both spouses for protection. Talk to your insurance agents to see whether term or whole life is best for you.

If you both already have life insurance, then contact your agent to have the beneficiary named on your policies changed to your new spouse.

Every couple wants to look their best at their wedding. Even more, many want to create a healthier lifestyle that will last throughout their marriage. ABridetoBee.com suggests that you not think of a health and fitness change as putting yourself on a diet, but creating a healthier lifestyle that will encourage both of you to eat better, and possibly work out together.

We suggest that you visit your doctor first before starting a new fitness program. Get a physical to see where you are currently. Discuss with your doctor ways that you can cut calories and still eat healthy. If you are overweight and need to shed extra pounds to fit into your dress start cutting out unhealthy choices like alcohol, sodas, candy and foods high in fat and sugar. Start walking short distances and work your way up to a mile or longer. Visit your local gym for pay as you go memberships. If you feel you need an extra push, hire a personal trainer to keep you motivated and on top of your goals.

Most of all set reasonable goals. Don’t pressure yourself to lose 30 pounds in 3 months. The safest weightloss is 1-2 pounds weekly. However, if you increase your workout schedule and eating habits, this may be achievable. Again, speak with your doctor to choose a program that will work best for you.
