success in a marriage starts with communication along with that comes honesty and trust if any of these things are lacking in a marriage then there is sure to be trouble on the home front. Always talk to your mate the person you are married to should be your bestfriend your lover and the person you can trust with any thing even your life.

A marriage is called Successful only if both have trust in each other. Marriage is a strong bond in which both share each & everything, so it is must that both shld b loyal to each other. Loyality builds trust...
Share every moment with ur partner, hide nothing, dnt consider each other only as husband or wife C them as a Frnd also.
I think this plays an imp role in making MARRIAGE SUCCESSFUL.

Success in marriage has to start with mutual respect, trust, and very good communication. And whatever the two of you did to "hook" each other, you need to keep up. Keep the romance alive, share in responsibilities, and always be open and honest with each other. Also if you should have a problem, LEAVE YOUR FAMILIES OUT OF IT!! Sometimes without meaning to, they add to the problem. Communicate, communicate, communicate with each other to get to the root of the problem and come up with a solution together. Good luck!

According to marriage research conducted by John Gottman, among the most important predictors of marriage success are:
The man's ability to accept influence from his partner; and
· The woman's ability to moderate her approach to seeking influence.
In other words, marriages succeed when both partners give up some control.
For men, this usually means agreeing to try some of the approaches suggested by his partner instead of withdrawing, surrendering or jumping in with a premature resolution at the first sign of conflict. We're not talking about merely complying with your partner's wishes regardless of whether you agree. It's not that she always gets her way. Influence means respecting her viewpoint and being willing to discuss issues.

total respect. like Paul McCartney said him and his belated wife of 30 plus yrs had only respect and that alone took care of them. Just as you would be sharing a home with a roomate u would have respect. respect is not abuse verbal or physical, lying, cheating, respect is love and trusting their intentions, also communications is very high on the list at all times weather your debating etc sometimes there is a touchy subject u may not know how to approach and fear but the respect to know u have love the respect of the whole relationship you know u can GO to that person and communicate or ya have SH-T as if u cant talk u got nothing same with respect.. respect ur decisions and theirs and their feeling and it takes care of it. People lose that in time fro some queer reason they get to comfortable and take advantage of them.They fail to communicate then it goes to pot.

Find the one God has created for you. He/she will fit your every curve. That is to say, where you are weak, they are strong and the reverse. After 9 years of marriage, my wife is my best friend. I can and have talked to her about anything. Most men think that it is weird to be emotional, but I find that I can't help it with her. I promised my wife only one thing, that she will NEVER have to guess about my love for her. I can't buy her a lot, but I can love her more than she ever knew. I feel because of this, our marriage is wonderful, our sex life is satifying for both of us, every time, and I will love her for the rest of my existence.

That when I look at my spouse 45 years later I still want to throw him to the floor and ravage him. We take time to talk and spend with each other. We do things together. We still hold hands and I can tell when he is looking at me he still gets an erec____. We have sex frequently. He takes care of me when I am sick and I take care of him. We are careful about what we spend and ask each other before spending. Never raise our voices to each other. We never invited anyone into our private lives. I stay at home, cook, clean, do laundry, sew and do domestic things. He does outside things. Lawn, loves wood work. He defends me against his family who are dorks. We have little to do with them. He help me when our children were growing up. If the children need help we are there for them.

Showing respect for one another, being able to communicate, sharing the same values/interests/life dreams. Having complete trust/faithfullness in your partner. Remembering to show your partner how much yo love them by practicing romance, no matter how small of a gesture.
Working TOGETHER!!!!! (on everything!)

Difficult to achieve.
If you are male, it helps if you learn how to listen.
Seriously, take Active Listening course. It will really help.
If you are female, it helps if you learn how to say things more than once in different ways until you actually see the light bulb go on.
Good luck.
