I would love it if all you married GCer's would share your best advice about marriage. What surprised you about being married? What do you wish you had known going into it?

Thanks!

Pick your battles and make sure you win them. Try not to turn everything into a battle, some things have to slide.

For me I hate seeing dirty thongs in the laundry hampar or bras lying around the bedroom. That and I can't stand a dirty house/condo/apt. The aformentioned and her not always managing money the way it needs to be done will eat me alive inside. Oh.... and pink, I hate the color pink with a passion.
