Congratulations!

Best engagement advice was from my father in law when I went to ask for his blessing. His advice to me was compromise. He reminded me that we are both from different families, growing up with different habits, but will live together day in and day out. Both of us must be willing to compromise to make things work.

After being married for 14 years and having 3 children with my wife, we are still making compromises with one another. It does not mean one side totally giving in and allow the other side to do whatever they want. To us, compromise is that we communicate and talk things over when there is a disagreement, then attempt to work out a solution that both of us can accept.
