Well, it definitely takes work, but a lot of it is determined by picking the right person in the first place. Reminds me of the end of that 3rd Indiana Jones movie: "He chose... poorly. ... He chose... wisely." Sometimes, if you choose poorly, no amount of work will save it.

One thing I heighly recommend: if possible, don't immediately have kids. Kids put a ton of strain on you. We were married well over 5 years before even considering kids. That turned out to be a smart thing to do.

Congrats in advance! But beware August weddings-- make sure everyone stays hydrated, and if there's going to be a ceremony that lasts more than a few minutes, make sure everyone in the wedding party shifts their weight as they stand and don't lock their knees. That will keep you from fainting, as so often happens in weddings.
