A few weeks ago I shared The Best Marriage Advice Ever where I told you about some awesome advice that I had heard at a recent wedding.
Following this article, I posted out to the Married and Naked Facebook community to ask them this question,
“What is the best marriage advice you have ever received?”
I received such fantastic responses to this question that I wanted to share some of my favorites with you.
So here is the Best Marriage Advice Ever Received – Top Ten List;
- “Cherish all the small things and never stop doing them.” – Victoria
- “You can be happy or you can be right but rarely can you be both.” – Tracy
- “Make sure your spouse always knows they are needed & wanted. One of those isn’t enough. And always choose to love.” – Bobbi
- “It’s ok to go to bed angry…you’ll feel better in the morning. Oh! And Separate bathrooms!” – Alison
- “Never stop dating your spouse.” – Tracy
- “Take the word divorce out of your vocabulary.” – Randy
- “Practice undeserved forgiveness.” – Stacey
- “Be kind. But we also heard “argue naked”. I don’t think we’ve ever done that but it stuck with me.” – Kathryn
- “Marriage is not 50/50. It is 100/100. Each spouse must give 100% to the relationship, they must be ALL in, or it won’t work.” – Rachel
- “Always be there for each other!” – Gail
Thank you to everyone for taking a minute to share the best marriage advice they ever received.
I trust that each of us remembers that just because someone offers you some “advice” certainly doesn’t mean that you have to take it. Each marriage is different and what works for one may not work for the other.
But, I hope that one of the above pieces of wisdom will ring true to you and your relationship. And, that we each remember that there can be true value in heeding the perspective of someone else’s experiences.

Love these pieces of advice! Great things here 🙂
Absolutely love this blog! The name is my absolute favorite! Baring it all for marriage? Absolutely!! I think something people don’t realize, especially young couples…(I can say that because I’m a young bride and I have young engaged friends) is that you will be completely exposed to your spouse once your married, not only your body, but every part of you will be naked to your spouse…and it should be!! I think people think “butterflies and romance” all the time, once you’re married. Best piece of marriage advice is that marriage is bare, naked, and exposed!
I Love what this brand is saying, this is the stuff I love writing about marriage! Awesome!!
