It's all fun and games until the kids come...
Preparation does not guarantee success, but the lack of preparation guarantees failure - old Japanese proverb
My life didn't change much getting married. Having kids has been life changing.
My advice is to apologize after a short but reasonable time has passed, and not play the silent game for days on end, even when you're right. Just get it over with and move on.
Never say anything bad about her family, even if she's talking bad about her family. Don't even agree with her.
Do berate her for watching reality tv. It's a man's right.
Good luck.
Congrats!
The secret to a long relationship is; Don't worry about arguing, it's going to happen, just don't get mad because what does it matter in 2 more hours, two more days, two more years anyway.
Women want to feel secure.
Men wat to feel significant.
Oh yeah, brush your teeth.

What The Grey said is on the money. Talk to each other, don't let issues fester, and the 'silent treatment' doesn't help either of you resolve the issues.
ETA: Congratulations!!! Going through life with someone you love is awesome!

Stay or become Debt Free ASAP. Be honest, truthfull & respectful. Remember when you get frustrated or mad that she voluntarily chose to spend her entire life with you. Remember that the grass is usually never greener on the other side. At the end of the day that woman IS your life, how your treat her determines your success as a husband, father, leader and a Man. Congratulations and Bless you and your soon to be wife.
ETA: learn to say the following phrases.
"Yes Dear"
"Your right Dear"
"I'm Sorry Dear"
(this one is important, this usually comes after a gun purchase). "Yes Dear you can go to the coach store".
I've noticed recently that I will find myself getting really angry at something, and if she is around I would start yelling, but if she isn't around, I lose my cool in 5 minutes or less. Having the patience to keep your cool for a mere five minutes could save a lot of stress.
