Advice for the first month of marriage?

Nothing really changed for us at all once we got married because I guess we were already settled into life living together and what not. I remember after getting married people kept asking how's married life and they'd be surprised at me when I said same. I guess because our love is still there, we knew what it's like to live together before, etc.

It's perfectly normal that being this close to the wedding and having just moved in together has led to an argument or two, it's just the stress. Doesn't mean things have changed, you're both adapting to living with each other (I love my FH to death but lord I want to strangle him when he leaves his clothes all over the place)! I know we aren't married yet, but the biggest thing for me and FH when it comes to arguments is to swallow our own pride (we're both stubborn) and ask ourselves why we're actually mad. We've done a lot of soul searching when it comes to getting into little bickering matches over dumb stuff. You just have to remember what's important at the end of the day

I'm not married yet, but we've lived together for the past year and a half. My biggest advice is decide what is worth fighting about. Let the little things go. If he leaves his socks on the floor instead of arguing over that, pick them up and move on...things like that. It's hard adapting to having another person in your space and learning the little quirks that you don't always realize when you aren't living with someone.

Communication is key. Learn how to talk about issues that come up calmly and rationally instead of snapping on each other. I like what the PP said about asking yourself why you're really mad. If I have a rough day at work I tend to be a little testy so if I find myself being snappy at him, I try to explain I had a crappy day and then I go take 10 minutes or so to work my crap out so I can focus on the present.
