Marriages are like snowflakes, no two are alike -- which is why finding spot-on marriage advice can be difficult.

Rather than looking to books or magazines, it's often better to simply ask those who have lived and breathed it. Take this Reddit thread, for example, which emerged recently and asked married users, "What is something you wish you had known before you got married?"

Here is what they had to say:

10. Take time to learn your partner's love language.
"Everyone has their own ways of communicating how much they love you. Learn how s/he communicates and speak in his/her language (this goes both ways). Sex really is important. Make it a priority. When this isn't going well, something else is wrong; lack of sex is a symptom, not a disease."
