People get married because they're in love, but I think they stay together because they support each other. For me, this means my wife and I don't criticize each other in public, we actively support each other's goals and desires, and we respect each other's differing opinions (among many other things). We have this relationship only because we've talked about *exactly* these things in very plain terms many times.

Making suggestions about someone else's marriage is a delicate thing. I don't suppose to know anything about your relationship with your fiancee. But you seem to be asking for advice, so here goes . . .

Think about what you want from a marriage to your fiancee and then talk to her about it in the simplest language you can muster. Tell what her you hope you can do for each other and how you'll help each other over the next 50 or 60 years. Talk about how you'll handle disagreements, how you'll compromise, and how you'll disagree on the important things and the not-so-important. The issue of wearing a kilt is not so important in the big scheme of things, but how you handle your disagreement with your fiancee is very important - it may well set the tone for the rest of your marriage.

If you let her see that she has something to gain - your unflagging support - in exchange for hers, perhaps your fiancee will reconsider how she acts regarding your kilts and anything else that may come up in the future.
