Although stated with the best intentions in mind, newlywed advice is often misleading and just downright terrible. Brides [1] asked six women to share the worst marriage advice that they have ever received. It's hard to believe their shocking responses.

Just because someone shares advice [2] with you — no matter how well meaning — doesn't mean it's any good. These brides share the most head-shaking counsel they've received about marriage — that they don't intend to take.

"My father told me a happy marriage [3] means making sure you dress up everyday and wear makeup daily for my husband. Needless to say, he's divorced!" — Elizabeth K.

"It's your day and that's what's most important. I hate that because it is our day." — Trish B.

"The advice my father-in-law gave my husband at his bachelor party [4] was to spend as much time apart as possible. While that might be necessary for some couples who can't handle each other in large doses, my husband and I much prefer to be with each other as much as possible." — Briana W.

"'Photographers [5] are a waste of money. You only need one photo of your wedding anyway.' That's what we were told by my mother-in-law." — Staicee L.

"'Marry for money.' I married for love. Not that we're poor, but I'd take being poor as long as I'm with him." — TK

"You can always get a divorce!" — Erica C.

"I was once told by someone that love is overrated. The only way a marriage works is if you have the same goals." — Kelly M.
