What advice do you have for Cenk and Wendy aka The Uygurs?

Now that Cenk if officially off the market and entering a new phase in his life. What advice can you married, divorced, and newlyweds out there offer him?

Congratulations Cenk! I wish you and Wendy all the best. I'm engaged so I can't really give you as helpful advice as I would like to but I will say this. 
Never take Wendy for granted!

While its easy to brush off and say well of course I won't, most of the women I talk to complain their husbands don't appreciate them. If you ensure she knows you appreciate her I cant see why your marriage would be anything other than loving and longlasting!

He needs to find out Wendy's feelings about the show segments where he is going on about how hot some famous woman is.

For me, that is an absolute turn-off, but I was burned by my ex-husband who was constantly asking me, "Why can't you be more like ____?" (Fill in any pretty singer or actress from the '90's.)

In short, Wendy not only needs to feel appreciated, but she needs to feel that she is the #1 woman in his heart and will stay that way.

None of this "but honey, it's part of my job" stuff. Wendy is not marrying Howard Stern.

Is Cenk going to tone it down after the marriage OR will he feel even more comfortable and go with a "hey, I'm married but I'm not dead" attitude?

Time will tell.

Personally I think it's important for couples to admit that they find other people attractive. It is a normal human thing after all, the point is if it's acted on. A lot of couples pretend and I think that can create problems.

"He needs to find out Wendy's feelings about the show segments where he is going on about how hot some famous woman is."

Now I would file that under "He's married, not dead".  I tend to treat talk like that about famous people as pure fantasy.  It would be different if they were part of the couple's real everyday life. 

On the other hand,  I can see what put the "EX" in your ex-husband.  That would be truly annoying.

"Come on, Come on, Come on, Come on, Come on"

"OF COUUURRRRRSEE!!!"

"WASEEKDA!!!"

but you have my blessing to finish up by saying 

"Young Turks"

"I'm not sayin' anything, I'm just sayin"

That wouldn't cut it either, would it?

Surely there are appropriate moments for "WASEEKDA!" though?  No?

As a happily married woman of 8 years and counting, I'd like to offer my two cents...

Make sure you kiss every day

Always resolve a fight (i.e. never go to bed angry)

You can never have too many inside jokes

Appreciate the time you have together (especially before any kids make an appearance)

Appreciate the time you have apart
