Answer 2

The big things like trust, mutual respect and communication, but also the little things which are unique to each couple. I guess this goes back to communication, but discuss what each of you expect, want and need to have a happy marriage. This can change as people change over time so it not a one-time discussion. Compromise without resentment - only the two of you know what you are willing to do differently and/or tolerate and still remain happy.

Answer 3

I imagine, respect, responsibility and affection by doing actions to show each others admiration of love towards one another. Learning to weather the storms no matter the circumstances. The commitment of marriage should not result in divorce if the two are working together as a team to build their dreams.

The goal to me in marriage is ultimately getting ready to have a family, who become your team players.

There after the parents coach their children, exemplifying role models for the children to appreciate and understand.

Love is the highest form of being, so love is what makes a marriage happy.

Answer 4

Love, mutual respect, the ability to compromise, some shared interests, some opposite interests, the ability for both sides to listen, good sex.....better sex, respect of space and alone time, being able to not say "I told you so" on an important issue, having a good sense of humor.....etc. There isn't a secret formula or a perfect answer. There is so much that goes into a marriage. Trying to break it down is pointless, but i will say being able to just BE with the person for hours is a good start. If you don't wanna look at them for even 10 sec. it's not gonna work.

Answer 5

work, work, and work.
also two words from the groom: "Yes, Dear."
The root for 'WIFE" is She who must be obeyed.
According to Robert Heinlein, Grandmaster of Science Fiction, there are only THREE RULES to a happy marriage...and they all pertain to the Man.
1. Rub her feet.
2. Buy your wife a desk and then KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF IT!
3. If ever you find yourself arguing with your wife and realize that you are right beyond a shadow of a doubt, apologize at once.

Answer 6

It's simple! That doesn't mean it's easy. First of all, nothing is conditional in marriage. You took a vow that you'll keep because of who you are, not who your spouse is. So, your love and respect for your spouse is not conditional on that love or respect being reciprocated back towards you.

It also requires that you know your role in the relationship. If you're the man, you above all else LOVE your wife, and to do that, you lead, protect, and provide. She is the TOP priority in your life. If you're the woman, you above all else RESPECT your husband, and to do that, you help your husband, you're his advocate in front of others, and you take care of him. He is your TOP priority in life, even above children. You perform your role regardless of whether or not the other spouse performs there's. Eventually, they will.

Like I said, its simple, but its not easy. I know it sounds a tad traditional. It works, though.

Answer 7

Been wondering that one myself...I'm in the middle of a seperation. So happiness is just a myth to me. A marriage is what you make of it. If your happy than your mariage will be happy.

Answer 8

Communication. Always tell each other how you feel. Never hold anything in (even anger). If you can share your feelings openly, the relationship (marriage or otherwise) will be a long-lasting one.

Answer 9

To love each other and not be selfish! To try to do things for the other person! Never go to bed angry! And be careful what you say to each other! Also respect each other also! But NEVER lie to your partner, because that is not trust worthy!
