First and foremost are love, trust, respect, and communication. If you have those, you can work thru pretty much anything. Then you need: honesty, loyalty to each other, compassion, give & take, caring, patience, forgiveness, and a sense of humor. Having things in common is a huge help too.
As for what NOT to have in a relationship, they are: abuse of any kind to each other or just one, drug use/abuse, lying, and cheating. These things can, and will, break up a reltionship very quickly, or it can prevent you from even starting one.

You're both willing to act like someone you can respect and admire toward each other--even if you're not that way with everyone. If you can say, honestly, that your behavior toward your spouse is something to respect and admire, it is highly likely that you are in a successful marriage. My wife likes to hold hands wherever we go--drives me up the %#$!@ wall. But what would an admirable and respectable man do when his loving wife wants to hold his hand? Yep--every stinkin' day I smile and hold her hand wherever we go. We even hold hands while I drive!! I mean,,,OMG!! I can't even have both hands on the wheel, but,,,I wouldn't trade my marriage for all the tea in China. Small example, but the point applies to the entire relationship. Do what's right--not what you "feel" like doing. Do what's right often enough, and you'll be surprised about how good you feel.
(P.S. It took several years, but I actually like holding her hand now. Funny how that works.)

Commuication and respect in faith is the only way to lead many ingredients to a happy marriage.. Trust me and am getting married real soon . Im happy with my fiance becz of commuication and respect eachother with values and caring.. if we fight or aruge ... we never uses cuss words to make it harder.. we commuicate as we discusss to learn to forgive eachother. Like i was upset with my Fiance about something. It got me worked up about this issue as he was.. So i went home and he went home.. The next morning he sent me a text message to say how sorry he was and came to my place with bunch of sunflowers. It was soo sweet of him and i couldnt stay mad at him.. i knew its our language of love in respect .. he explained why he disagrees with me about the issue that we were upset about .. so we always make up in a good healthy condition . He s always a very positive person with ups and downs in our lives. We shared how we feel together about whats around us, not to ingore issues that arises in front of our faces. so commuication is the main key then everything will go on the flow pretty well . My ex boyfriend wasnt into Commuication and was very unhealthy becz he listens to people instead of me. he was more into Physical contacts than commuication. thats why my relationship failed. WITH MY FIANCE, EVERYTHINGS GOOD AND GREAT , but not perfect.. just right and healthy relationship as we struggle through in our lives. Wish u the best in ur marriage , if u are getting married or else!
