My three rules for a great marriage:
1. Find the one you love.
2. Find the one who turns you on.
3. Never let them meet.

And we wonder why divorce rates are so high..
Talk constantly. You've decided to share your life with this person so SHARE YOUR LIFE with this person. Relationships require constant attention, and most of that is just open discourse. Just tell each other how you feel and talk about it. It solves most of your problems.

Best marriage advice ever. This one thing would cut the divorce rate by 80 per cent.
Touch her frequently, in a non-sexual way.

"What I see in marriage, then, is a real identification with that other person as your responsibility, and as the one whom you love. Committing yourself to anyone, turning your destiny over to a dual destiny, is a life commitment. To lose your sense of responsibility to the person who has given you that commitment because something comes along that enables you to think, “I'd like to fly off in this direction and forget that which has already been committed”—this is not marriage. I do not think you are married unless your relationship to your spouse has primary consideration in your life. It’s got to be top."
"In marriage you are not sacrificing yourself to the other person. You are sacrificing yourself to the relationship...that’s the problem with getting married. You must ask yourself, “Can I open myself to compassion?” Not to lust, but to compassion."
“Marriage is not a love affair. A love affair is a totally different thing. A marriage is a commitment to that which you are. That person is literally your other half. And you and the other are one. A love affair isn’t that. That is a relationship of pleasure, and when it gets to be unpleasurable , it’s off. But a marriage is a life commitment, and a life commitment means the prime concern of your life. If marriage is not the prime concern, you are not married.”

Marriage isn't 50/50. It's 100%. Sometimes you'll have to give 80% when she can only give 20%, and vice-versa.

Don't marry the person you think you can live with; marry only the individual you think you can't live without.

Thanks for the help, I ended up giving advice to the bride and groom individually.
To the Bride: when you're frustrated and angry at your now husband remember that you can't expect him to make you happy 100% if the time. It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that men and women have different levels of happiness. Women meet a special guy and start dating and they're HAPPY, then they get engaged and tell all their friends they're going to get married and they're HAPPY, then they get have a wedding and dress up like a snow princess and they're HAPPY, then they have children and get to relive all his through hem and they're HAPPY!
You know what makes a man happy? Beer, Pizza, XBox. Remember to keep that in mind, it's not really his fault.
To the groom: this advice will seem counter intuitive at first, but hear me out. Have kids, have them right away! *pause for horrified look on groom's face* hear me out. You are no of your castle, you just married your beautiful queen, this is your chance to make people and rule them!
(For the other standup comedy nerds, if that sounds familiar it's a play on a couple Tom Papa bits, thanks Tom!)
