Honesty , Trust and loyalty. Good communication and selfless giving on both partners parts. Unconditional love and giving and not always asking for something in return... Making love and intimacy with romance and not just SEX. Do not keep secrets from each other either. Do not hide things. Hope this answers this question some what for you. Also not trying to change your spouse but always working on ways to change yourself to be a better spouse to and for your partner! Prayer and having God as the center of you marriage and Forgiveness!

Michelle, all of the answers above are great. As i can speak from experience of my past, and present marriage, you have to have trust between each other, even if its one sided, there will be problems. Respect is major. You must respect each other, and give each other what you wish to recieve in return-not material things, just the simple things-like courtesy, speak to me how u want to be spoken to. Communication-always be willing to listen to your partner and let them finish saying what is on their mind. Then in turn, they should respect you and give you the same courtesy by letting you finish with what is on your mind. Never forget what made you fall in love in the first place. Accept that each other is human, and we all make mistakes. Keep time stored away for just each other. Dont go to bed mad, even if you restart the argument over in the morning....let it go for tonight. Love exists in the marriage, and will flourish if you let each other grow.

Talking and respect. Also be wary of two middle children marrying! No-one is in charge! There has been alot of research done on this and I feel thats what went wrong with my 10 year marriage.

Trust, honesty, love, commitment, and communication. These things keep the love alive in a marriage. When you treat each other the same way as when you were dating years ago.

Communication, respect. A good marriage is a contest to see who can give the most.
