Mr and Mrs Pond

jmpond90gmailcom profile image

Afternoon all.

After 2 weeks of integrating back into work life, I was also lucky enough to marry my wife yesterday.

This is Mrs Pond.

I wanted to show her off to you.

Any tips for a long and successful marriage?

Jim♥️🥂🤵👰x

Congratulations 🎉

What a wonderful uplifting joyful post.

Mrs Pond looks beautiful with her handsome groom.

I wish you a long and happy married life together.

My advice

Never go to sleep with an unresolved quarrel or upset.

Thanks Pauline. 50 years of marriage! That's amazing. Some great advice, I'm used to saying Sorry. I'm always doing something I shouldn't. I am so glad my Wife is able to tell me when I do something not to her liking....😉

My husband was an officer in the merchant navy, so lots of time in the first 35 years he was away at sea, so not able to fall out he wasn’t here😂

Hmmm! This sounds like cheating however also a brilliant idea! Do you know if the Merchant Navy are currently recruiting and if they accept newlywed applicants with severe heart failure....?🙃♥️🥂🤞

Your 1st Marriage sounds very productive! You will always have at least 2 men in your life who will idolise and adore you and being a Nanna is always a very special role to play♥️

Congratulations, we had our Golden Wedding Anniversary last Saturday. Advice- hmmm always say sorry whether it's your error or not. We have a row at least once a day too. Neither of us can hold a grudge which helps.Before we married, my future Ma-in-law said "these men are very hard to live with but it's worth it!!"

Hello :-)

Congratulations and you have done well such a stunning wife :-)

I have been married 27 years

What has made mine work is

Make time to listen to each other

Be each others best friend that really means a lot

Remember she is always right ( even when she isn't ) trust me that will get you far :-D

Never take each other for granted

Make sure you let each other know you love them just as much as you do today :-)

I hope you have a long and happy marriage you are both lucky to have found each other :-)

Take Care x

How lovely. Congratulations.

My advice. If some thing is broken a husband wants to fix it. A wife wants to discuss why it was broken, when it was broken, where it was broken, what could be done to fix it, whether it’s should be fixed and when we should try. Whether it actually ends up fixed is completely irrelevant.

My advice let her talk, we need it. It’s part of our process. Don’t try to work out why. Just accept our need and have a wonderful life. Xxxx

jmpond90gmailcom profile image
jmpond90gmailcom in reply to Mallowme

What a wonderful way of explaining a relationship with the opposite sex!

Thank you ever so much ♥️

Congratulations Jim! That’s a beautiful photo, one to treasure. My advice would probably be - always listen generously, but don’t feel you need to have all the answers. That, and just laugh together at every opportunity.

All the best, N

Ahhh how lovely- wonderful photo and congratulations ❤️.

My advice : If things get tough down the line remember the things that brought you together and the what first attracted you to each other in the beginning of your relationship. And never forget the small things you can do for each other each day.

Wishing you both a long lifetime of happiness and togetherness!

Congratulations. What a beautiful couple. Lovely to see a positive post in the mists of everything. My husband and I have been married 25 years, celebrated our silver wedding anniversary in the middle of the first lockdown. Advice: be willing to compromise and enjoy at least one shared interest. Oh and in tough times, listen to each other, no need to have all answers or 'solve' the problem, just be there. Many best wishes to you both.

I'm glad you can see our happiness from the picture I posted. Fortunately we are both blessed with a sense of humour, an attractive quality in any human for me. Unfortunately, my wife isn't quite as funny as me but dont tell her. She thinks she hilarious. She isn't. I have a brilliant fake laugh though♥️😉

That's lovely Jim and has cheered up a miserable day. Your wife is beautiful (and you're easy on the eye too!!). We've been married close to 50 years so I can only say, keep smiling together; if you have a falling out, make up and don't hold grudges; both of you should remember that special 10 letter word - compromise!

Have a lovely life together and a lovely Christmas.

All the best to you both

Jan,

Sorry to hear you had a miserable day😥.

Glad I was able to help a little with my post.

Hope today was better?

My Wife is gorgeous and your obviously not made of wood noticing how handsome I am!!😍

However I am a married man and wont put my newly formed marriage at risk by virtually flirting with a married woman. This must stop. Now!😏

Please dont tell your husband about us!

Please do wish him a Merry Christmas though and thank him for providing you with all the experience to be able to give me some cracking advice on married life...

Jim♥️x
