Answer 2

Marriage is good sometimes, bad sometimes, and hard all the time. Enjoy it when it's good and work it out when it's not so good. Don't be so eager to throw in the towel, so to speak. And, when there's a problem, resolve it, together. Don't go looking elsewhere, because no one but you and your spouse can resolve the issue at hand. Bringing someone else into the marriage just creates another problem that you may NOT be able to resolve. Respect is not an option, it's mandatory. You see, this is why it's soo hard, because there's sooo much that goes into a truly successful and happy marriage. In fact, happy & successful are in the eyes of the beholder, there are guidelines, but not any cut and dry "rules". What has worked for us may not for you. I've been married happily(most of the time), successfully, (again, most of the time), for 24 years. I can't really say how we lasted, except that we truly love, and lust each other. Both have been from the beginning and constant. GOOD LUCK!

Answer 3

I don't think there's any specific reason why a marriage might work. It all boils down to the two people in the relationship. Its about their understanding of each other realizing shortcomings and failings and their strengths. Its about complimenting each other, being there for each other in both the good times and bad, its about realizing when something is wrong with the relationship and actually setting about fixing or solving that problem as a team. Its about respect, ability to communication and most of all the ability to not judge each other when one person makes a mistake. A happy married life or any relationship for that matter begins with two people working as a team to make things work despite adversities and obstacles.

Answer 4

I'm 22 I've been married for 4 years and we have a happy married life we've kept things happy because of understanding eachother and being committed we have never hid anything from eachother and we've never cheated on eachother and porn is not a factor for our marriage we have eachother and we're happy with that and if one of us need to make a sacrifice or need to compromise we're always there to do it and if we end up in a argument we always work it out somehow never go to bed mad at eachother

Answer 5

committment, communication, respect and love, on both sides. You can't run and do something foolish every time you feel down or have an argument. Be willing to work things out, remember your love and committment and tough out the bad times. It will always get better and it's worth the patience it takes sometimes. Even if you are still mad at each other, don't ever go to bed without telling your partner that you love him/her.

Answer 6

There are no secrets. It's about mutual respect. You can love someone to death, but not like how they act. You can be attracted to someone physically, but not respect them. You must have the same goals in life, similar lifestyles, and have mutual interests. That doesn't mean to spend every waking moment together and not have outside interest. Think of what you hang around with your friends for, companionship, mutual interest in sports, work, etc...Good Luck!

Answer 7

Make your marriage a priority. Tell your spouse daily that you love him/her - same for kids. Plan special things. I use material from http://www.drray.com and http://www.parentleadership.com quite a bit. The important thing is to try. After that, of course, is exactly how to try - you can get that info from other people, books, etc. I don't see how marriage should be any different than guitar lessons - the basics of time, dedication, patience and practice still apply.

Answer 8

be open, true and tell each other all the time that you love one another. Put your spouse before anyone else except god. I've been with my husband for 17 yrs and we have been married for 8. We tell each other all the time we love each other and we feel we are soul mates. Good Luck.

Answer 9

It might not actually be a secret, but sadly, many people have not mastered that powerful technique. Wise advice for a healthier relationship (married or not).

Answer 10

If both spouses work equally to make the other person's life full of happiness before they worry about their own happiness.

Answer 11

I am a happily married woman who adores her husband and I know we are married for life because we are "in this" together with the same amount of every thing mentioned above!! Great question...
