Top 10 - WORST Newlywed Advice

Some of this advice might be helpful and supportive, but some of it might be downright awful and harmful. Here are some examples of the worst newlywed advice that you should ignore or avoid.
1. Your wedding should be a huge (and expensive) party!
What matters more is your marriage, which is for the rest of your life.
2. You have to go on a honeymoon!
The important thing is to spend quality time with your spouse, not to follow a social norm.

4. Never say no to sex!
You can still express your affection and desire for your spouse in other ways, such as cuddling, kissing, or talking.

6. Always put your spouse first!
You can still take care of yourself physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually while also taking care of your spouse.

You don’t have to change who you are fundamentally, but you can change for the better, for yourself and for your spouse.

You can listen to their point of view, express your own, and find a compromise or a solution.
