From Lola's thread: http://talk.uk-yankee.com/index.php?topic=26641.0

Spouse – If you are married to a UK citizen, you may enter as a spouse.  To qualify for a spousal visa, you must demonstrate that you can support yourself (as you will not be able to apply for benefits), that you will have a decent place to live in the UK, and that you are in a genuine marriage.  The marriage can take place in the US (the UK partner will not need a US fiance/e’ visa because you won’t live in the US following the marriage) or the UK (the US partner will need to apply for a UK fiance/e’ visa before entering the UK).  If the UK partner cannot prove that s/he can financially support the US spouse, a letter of support can be included in the application from a third party in the UK (usually family of the UK partner) who agree to provide a place to live or financial support for the couple.  The third party will need to provide financial statements and/or mortgage/lease papers.  When entering the UK as a spouse, you will be able to work immediately and are entitled to NHS treatment.  If you are entering the UK with dependant children, they must have a visa as well.  Please note that you may need permission from the other biological parent in order to move your children to the UK.  Two years after entering the UK as a spouse, you will apply for ILR, which allows you to remain the UK indefinitely (assuming you do not stay out of the UK for more than two years).

Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its doors as early in the spring. Cultivate property like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Turn the old; return to them. Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts…

You need it before you enter.
