Best advice for a newly wed man?

advice: don’t listen to this guy

@LAlexV I have been doing marriage counseling since 1988. When the man fails to take the leadership of the home the marriage fails. When the man takes the lead the marriage succeeds. Simple data.

@hippyjoe1955 what a load of rubbish. Fuck you talk a lot of shit.

@SW-User How many marriages have you gone through?

@hippyjoe1955 Maybe that’s true with your age group. Mine, that’s a recipe for instant disaster.

@LAlexV Don't worry you will soon enough have a disaster anyways. My advise is ageless. Talk it over with your girlfriend. You might be surprised.

@hippyjoe1955 For someone who calls himself a hippy you’re pretty narrow minded bro

@LAlexV Not narrow minded at all. I am simply pointing out that the power struggle you will face shortly after the honeymoon is over will likely destroy your marriage if you don't address it now. I watched two of my kids marriages fall apart because they wouldn't establish the correct order. My son deferred to his wife. She walked all over him and out the door. My daughter wanted her hubby to take the headship. He didn't want to and she eventually had to kick him out of the house.

@hippyjoe1955 Being a doormat doesn’t help anyone. Put two people together and there will be different strengths and weaknesses. I think picking the right person and paying attention and dividing roles based on strengths is a good way to go.

@hippyjoe1955 we live in 2020. Not 1950.

@LAlexV It doesn't matter how much you love each other or trust each other or honor each other. There will be a power struggle shortly after the honeymoon is over. There will be another one at about 2 years after the marriage and another one about 7 years in. There will others along the way but those three will determine if the marriage will fail or not. If you as the man don't take the head the marriage will fail. She is looking for her boundaries and if you never set them she will soon be gone. She won't need you.

@ragnalikessnow I don't care if we lived in 2020 BC human nature has not changed.

@hippyjoe1955 but society has

@ragnalikessnow Not really. Men and women still need the same things from each other. It is part of our nature. Social norms do not override nature.

@hippyjoe1955 Good. I don’t need to be needed i’d rather be wanted by an equal. What the hell would I get out of an arrangement like that? Someone obedient who cooks and cleans? I can clean if she cooks. I’d rather have a life partner who I can process and approach life next to, not in front of. My parents have been married for over 30 years. Works for them. It’ll work for me.

@LAlexV Nice try to evade. If you ever get married you will be divorced within 2 years.

@hippyjoe1955 do you really think these stereotype gender roles are part of the human nature? I think you mix these two things up

@hippyjoe1955 haha how in gods name is making a solid point evading?

@ragnalikessnow @LAlexV wow. Who would of thought @hippyjoe1955 is a fortune teller.,😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
