I’m an amateur quirk finder. This screen shot is a physical mannerism that Rhett uses when making a point. It is as if he is pinching a little bit of pepper and throwing in your face.
Rhett, I can’t believe you gave the lame 50/50 advice. You are loosing you status as a mythical master by repeating that failed approach … unless you are shoot for a 50% divorce rate.
I add my voice to the others who say “give 100%” Congratulations Bubba and Steph. Love is more than a feeling that can change; love is a choice. I’ve been married for 23 years. Blessings!
HAHA! Love it!
I’m not much of a sentimental well wisher so I will leave you with this old joke:
Remember Marriage is not a word, it’s a sentence. A life sentence. (Only no one gets out early for good behaviour
Congrats to you Figs and Bubba! Enjoy your mythical (and non-mythical) future together!
You’ve gotten some wonderful advice by some very smart people, Steph and Bubba. Hubby and I have been married 32 years. In our experience, it’s not the words that count; it’s the actions. Even though we say ‘I love you’ to each other and to our daughter, every day, I know that my husband truly loves me through the little things that he does, like emptying the dishwasher or patting me just because. I was upset this weekend about a mistake that I made and he bent over and put my socks on me. Little gestures of caring mean so much more than the words ‘I love you.’
Go ahead an give 100%, but give it as a form of commitment to each other and your marriage. There will be times that your efforts won’t be equal. It may seem that one of you can only give 30/40% and the other is giving 70/60%. Guess what. That will reverse itself many times throughout your marriage due to stress and life in general. But if your commitment to your marriage and each other is 100%, you’ll be celebrating 32 years of marriage like us. It’s give and take within the marriage, but always a solid commitment to the marriage.
I wish you both well. It was a sweet ceremony and your exit march was a great way to start out a marriage with the humor you’ll need to make it through when your new hubby accidentally drops a toothbrush into the toilet and announces that his hand is too big to fit in there to get it out. It happened on our honeymoon, but I still kept him.
Sorka and I have been married since you’ve turned 5 Steph. My advice is to be honest about everything. That’s rare and it’s hard but man it pays off when they know they can fully trust everything that comes out of your mouth and that you haven’t held anything back. And it bolsters your own self when you know that you are going to tell every thing about a situation. You don’t go near the stupid stuff that is the start of getting you in trouble.
So if that well built person walks by it’s ok to say, Well that was really distracting.. Or when you get wink from the car next to you, you know, you don’t have to hide that and mentioning it means that it doesn’t get blown out of proportion in your mind, assuming you are doing it to share your life with your best friend and not to brag (too much).

Congratulations! Our advice after 15.5 years:
Don’t look back.
Let things go.
Do Not keep a list to haul out during disputes.
Learn to say.. “You could be right!”
Laugh a lot.
Plus the donut thing.
Dont get a divorce, get a donut!
Congrats we’re all happy for you =D and I agree with chamberlain 100 % Definatley Give it your all you can’t succeed if you only give 50 % again Congrats =D
Congratulations, Steph and Bubba! :]
This was GREAT, Guys! As the Mother-of the Groom I must say that I am pretty excited about Bubba & Steph being he 1st ever Mythically Wedded couple in the Kommunity! It is sad that Rhett&Link couldn’t be at the wedding but it is WAY cool that the couple is going to try and UStream the ceremony at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/stephanie-and-darrells-wedding !! Join the wedding party at 11:30pmPT/1:30pmCT/2:30pmET
You work hard to let the people know that you are not a couple(two beds in the hotel)(Not married together). Ambiguity is good sometimes…
Congrats, Steph and Bubba!!
Best wishes today and always!
Hey Steph and Bubba, CONGRATS!!! I remember when you guys got engaged!!
This is sooo awesome, I know tomorrow has the potential to be stressful, but just sit back and enjoy it as much as you can, I goes by really really fast
Congratulations Stephanie and Bubba! I’ve gotta say, that “reaching out and touching” your spouse when your mad might work the first year or two, but after almost six years of marriage, it doesn’t quite work like it used to. I can usually tell when Steve is making himself give me an apology hug and doesn’t mean it. Sometimes it’s better to just haul off and give ‘em a swift kick in the shin.
Congrats!
Being married for 20 years, The best advice I have is forgiveness. Like Rhett said we are human, we are flawed and we make mistakes. I disagree about 50%. You need to be in you marriage 100%. If God wasn’t into making the universe at 100%, o me o my who knows how it would have turned out. Be selfless, put each other first. And the Big one “LOVE” no matter what.
God Bless you two.
It’s what you make it? For some reason, I was tempted to say this advice comes from Hannah Montana. haha. Congrats to the couple!
It is important to know that occassionally your loved one will get on your nerves. It is a part of any close relationship. There will be some days that your spouse will annoy you and you will get under their skin too… That is completely healthy and normal. It is important to nurture not only similar interests, but more importantly, separate ones. You are different individuals who need to encourage each other to be the best “you.” You shouldn’t try to make yourself into your spouse, or your spouse into you–there is already one of each of you! You are meant to support each other as a team, with both bringing strengths into the relationship. You both will continue to change & grow as individuals and that’s a beautiful thing. If you stop growing/improving yourself then the relationship will suffer. (married 15 years and going strong)
