to let the guy wind DOWN after work
to NOT give him a list of jobs to do when he needs a BREAK
to initiate sex and not complain when you dont get any, men have feelings too
keep the beer cold! ;O)
appreciate him, for all the little things us girls take for granted..
give some THANKS dammit, if he does something nice acknowledge it!
if he takes the bin out or other jobs... and you didn't ask him too, make sure he KNOWS you are grateful
talk AND listen, its not all about you (her)
and for him?
remember the little things, dont take her for granted, dont belittle a stay at home mum as not working as hard as HE does..
Listen, dont oggle women and shatter her self esteem, keep the women talk to your mates
saying i love you and MEANING it, not as a last minute thought rushing out the door..kiss,
kiss like you MEAN it, not like its perfunctoray.
pick the damn towels up
change the bloody loo roll, not just the light bulbs ;O)
look at her when you're talking, dont stare at the telly
grow together, not apart.
show an interest in THEIR interests...compromise unti lyou are blue in the face, give a little get a little.
respect *me* time
privacy and little quirks
oh god i could go on all day,
I've outstayed my welcome, bye bye

Trust, love, communication and respect....I have been married for 14 years and I still enjoy my husband in all aspects of our marriage. If one of those things is missing, you will have problems...Dont marry someone because they are HOT or rich...Those things will not sustain a lifelong relationship with anyone and dont think that your marriage will be the same 20, 30, or 40 years later than it was in the beginning...IT WONT! Your relationship will change and you need to be willing and ready to accept that....Also, be willing to WORK at it...I have seen to many people use divorce as the easy way out....IT TAKES WORK! If you dont want to be bothered with it, then dont get married.

Well. I have a great marriage and I think some key things are : Respect, Love, Communication being open and being able to listen to your partner. My husband is my best friend and confidante. I always discuss my woes with him first because we have trust in one another. We also have fun together doing activities that we both enjoy. We are in our early 30's and so far so good. We also have a lovely 7 year old.

Everyone tells you that you need to communicate, actually listen to what the other person is saying, understanding, patience, trust, friendship... but one of the things that I was never told until recently was to remember the reason that we got married.. because we love each other. As was pointed out to me, I chose my husband and if I really wanted to spend the rest of my life with him, you find a way to make things work. But the other stuff definitely helps and is very important.

Lots and lots of good luck, respect, and knowing that the eternal unconditional love thing is just a childish idea. You get married to build a family with someone who's gonna be your partner and your friend, but not to build an eternal silly love story. Sure there's love but that's not all...
.. oh great sex helps too lol

Communication, love, respect and common goals and morals. My marriage lasted 12yrs and now we are separated. My wife changed over the past 4yrs and decided she didn't love me anymore. She stopped talking to me as a husband and emotionally separated herself from our marriage. I love her so much, but it has to be mutual. I fought for 4yrs to get her to love me back but nothing I did worked. So it has to be both people willing to work it out. If only one person wants the marriage to last it will never happen.

God fearing heart cause a fearles individual is capable of doing anything negative.humility,understanding what you are doing,with whom,why,communication,open mindedness,forvieness,faithfulness,non game playing attitude,respect,true love,and your very self too cause both of you are the people mostly concerned.
Both of you can either make it work or fail.
These are my personal thinkings, pls.

Good communication, as other have said. If you cannot talk to each other and say anything at all then it will be difficult if not impossible to make it work.
Love is important but in my experience it does not last if you cannnot talk to each other.
