What is the best advice you've been given in terms of marriage and parenting?

Do the best you can, and remember when you are correcting the children always remember when you were young and correction with them will fall easily into place. Always treat your spouse like it is your first date and you will always have respect and with that comes a lot more love

with marriage id have to say "dont go to bed angry" but with parenting....im not in that boat yet so no ones gave me any good advice

Never go to bed angry and tell your partner every day that you love them.Always kiss your children good night & tell them every day that you love them.

Both of you need to always agree to communicate with each other, treat each other with more respect than friends would. And understand there will be disagreements, but screaming, tantrums, and not talking don't help. You may have to give in, or he may, but you really are 100% together. When you start to think you are individuals, it hurts the relationship. Never leave to work in the morning with out saying "I love you", and always the last thing at night. Learn what each other likes, and try those things too. For the kids, you should create a united effort in raising them, not just mom. Dads can change them, bathe them, go to PTA too. Raise them to honor Jesus, God, parents, and country. Give them respect back, even at a very early age. Teach them chores, responsibility, and remember each has their own personality. One may learn faster, the other may require a spanking, But not always. If you are kind, gentle, patient, and love God, they will be that way too. If you are violent, swearing, argumentative, please get neutered or spayed, your community needs good people, we have enough bad folks now.

Always remember that marriage takes work. So many divorces happen just because people are lazy in their relationship. Dont consider divorce an option. Parenting..........be consistant and firm in discipline but not degrading. ALWAYS tell them you love them and praise them at any available opportunity!

Never go to bed angry. Never take anyone for granted. Never fail to say "I Love You."Mother of two beautiful childrenWoman who lost mother at 26
