What does it take to keep a good marriage?

Answer 1

Don't get married and cheat with someone married. They will then have a good marriage.

Answer 2

What does it take to keep a good marriage? Well, the obvious first answer that comes to mind is a ‘partner’. The relationship with that partner is what determines whether the marriage is a good one or not.

I suppose you can look at things like mutual respect; love; honesty and trust; compassion; patience; understanding; good communication; commitment; the list is probably endless!!!

A good marriage requires a combination of all of the above. You could perhaps summarise it all by suggesting that your partner in the marriage always remains your best friend.

It needs to be remembered however, that marriage is a two-way relationship. You could perhaps consider it to be a partnership… Commitment from both partners is necessary for the partnership to be a success!!!

Answer 3

Both partners in marriage needed to be dedicated to true love with all their heart and soul. Selflessness is the key to true love. Selflessness is ulimately achieved through self- realization.

Otherwise, it is essential for a married couple to somehow or other agree philosophically.

Then, you don't want sex to hold the marriage together. In the extreme sex should be limited to conceiving a nice little baby or two and then become proud parents for the rest of your lives.

Answer 4

Communication! One of the big things that breaks up marriages is resentment - and one of the main reason resentment develops, is because we are all bad at saying what we really mean. Especially women, I'm sorry to say, and I'm talking about myself too!

You'll often hear women saying to their girlfriend, "my husband never does [whatever]. He should know that is important to me."

That's resentment, and it's dangerous. We all have to learn that nobody "should know" anything. We all have different ways of looking at the world, and we should never assume another person thinks the way we do, or can read our body language.

Any time a husband or wife starts feeling a tiny resentment like that towards their partner, they need to express it. Because tiny resentments grow into big resentments very quickly, and big resentments destroy marriages.

Answer 5

Agree to not fight..and if you do, do it fair. Listen listen listen.

Never do anything to compermise the relationship. Take time to have time alone. And never quit seducing each other.

Answer 6

Love,Honesty,Willingness to compermise,saying im sorry sometimes when you know its the other persons fault,never going to sleep mad,listening instead of always talking you can learn to pick up on so much from inside another when you listen to what they are not saying,assuming things instead of knowing is a no-no and by all means let what happened yesterday stay there.You must choose your battles and ask yourself is it worth the trouble its going to cause.
