1. Be open minded
2. Be willing to give and take (sometimes you have to do something you may not care for and same for him)
3. Be honest (if he does something that bothers you, tell him don't bottle it up until it becomes an issue)
4. Don't have children (this is my personal opinion, kids take a lot of money and time, if your not willing to sacrifice everything don't have children)
5. Get out and do things (even if it's as simple as riding around the countryside then having a picnic, do things to keep your life interesting)
6. Never go to bed mad (things boiling overnight only make matters worse)
7. Never yell at one another (always sit down and discuss things like adults)
8. Don't live beyond your means (money is the root to all evil) Most marriages end over fights about money.
9. Share duties (the woman can't do everything) I cook dinners, clean rooms and clean bathroom, my husband mows the lawn, takes care of trash and we share laundry and washing dishes.
10. Plenty of hugs and kisses and I love you's (you never get tired of someone telling you that they love you)

Realize that a good marriage is hard work. Some days it's good and some days it's bad.
It should never be a power struggle. You are partners as well as friends as well as lovers.
Always stay as open as possible with your significant other.
Above all else realize that falling in love with someone is a stage in your relationship. Love doesn't just die it changes....it can change into something good or something bad. The choice is yours.
Respect each other's space, opinions and one another.
Neither of you should ever try to control the other. Good Luck

HAVE FUN! Try new things together and if one likes it and the other does not then balance it out with the opposite.
Trust is HUGE
Love is Grand
Understanding of each others needs is essential.
give praise on a daily basis. Even a dog will do good if he is praised!

Don't get married until you find someone that loves you every bit as much as you love him/her. Wait until you're sure that this is THE one and know that they KNOW that you are the one. You can't do this in under one year! LOL
Make sure both of you are totally committed to God and love and obey Him. See, 'love' is an emotion that ebbs and flows...and when you're just not feeling it, you still will do your best, treat the other person well and hang in there out of respect to God.

Have similar interests, likes, or hobbies. The same religion and politics helps. Be fun, open minded and romantic. Talk together. Put each other first above all else, kids included. Without each other you have nothing. Keep things interesting / spiced up. If it sounds like fun, do it!

if u do something forhis/her sake,don't keep on saying so.show him/her that u like doing it with him/her.doing stuff together coz u both like is much better than doing it for the other's sake.that other then will always feel u're doing a favour that bothers you and will be shy to ask for something new that he wants,if that happens,deep inside him there will always be unfullfilled desire or or wish because of you,and that's the first step on the way of a big big gap between you
