Married 10 years and still do not know the first thing about it. Good luck with it.

I'm not sure a lifelong bachelor can help, but at the age of 58 and of normal orientation--just never ran into the right woman--I've been able to observe that married men give up as much as they gain. Autonomy, for one thing. For instance, I can smoke whenever and wherever I wish. But there are also a lot of things I've had to do without, and most of the gents here will be able to offer their insights on that.

Congratulations! Best way to be married is to know yourself as well as your bride and to communicate.
I don't mean about the weather over breakfast. I saw above someone cautioned about growing apart. The only constant IS change.
Make sure you guys have like quarterly 'wassup talks'. Check in with one another to see how y'alls goals are coming and if your paths is still what you had previously discussed and to make sure your paths stay parallel. They don't have to be identical (smothering) but they need to at least be parallel.
It is sad to me when something as simple as that kills a marriage.
So best of luck to you.
