We enjoy ragging on each other here. Most of us moderators take a vacation of some sort during the summer as it is the off-season. Stockpicker did something more this off-season - few of you might know that Stockpicker is getting married and is on a flight to Aruba right now as he is on his honeymoon with his wife. Any advice for the new married man or the other to be married gents? I'm sure he'll enjoy reading your thoughts when he comes across this thread.

Gratz stock and good luck.

My best advice, Focus more on being best friends first. If you can enjoy each as friends everthing else is a piece of cake.

Congrats to you 1st off.

Marriage is like Sports Betting. if you succeed you can win a whole hell of a lot, if to fail you become bankrupt.

1- Just like betting you will have your ups and downs. Being married can to. But if you stick with anything long enough and keep your mind on the prize good results will happen.

2- You will have your tough beats, and come up on the wrong end of the stick sometimes. Just like betting things will not go the way you "planned". Remember 1 day doesnt make a week 1 week doesn't make a month. You and your wife will have a life time together so through those tough times don't get down on the bad beats.


People will tell you that moving "all in" with your sports book bankroll isnt a good thing.. Well they are right. Going all in isn't the thing to do.

But in Married life thats what its about.. Go All in and balls to the wall. (I guess you can take that line how you want) But give it everything you got every day and good results will happen. Who knows maybe your wife will enjoy "all in".

Have good one and best of luck on your new adventure together.

Good Luck to both of you.
Me and Grace will be celebrating the big 50 this November and my ONLY advice to you is "Don't bull$hit her" Let her be part of your fun. Tell her who to root for and every once in a while "we will go to Bermuda for a weekend" if this parlay hits. ENJOY jack

Congrats Stock! Not a married man, so don't really have advice, but wish you much luck and a happy life together.

Man, I was going to be a smartass but with all this actual helpful advice, I'll share my own:

1. My grandparents were married for 60 years and were the happiest couple I ever saw. When I asked why, they said "We both give 51% and are happy about it." Think about - it very simple yet profound.

2. (This is from me) Accept her for who she is and don't try to change her. So much anxiety in a marriage is from one person trying to change the other. It won't happen. Realize it now and get over it and you'll be much happier.

Good luck!
