What is the most important ingredient in a successful marriage ?

Answer 1

1. Remember that a successful marriage depends on two things:
(a) Finding the right person and
(b) Being the right person.

2. Do we really know the actual definition of a successful marriage? If not than lets look for it and see what conclusion we can draw. We often say that someone somewhere is made for you and the day you come across that person you feel that that he or she is the one you have been waiting for. But later we see that due to lack of understanding and mental compatibility they move apart. So how can we say that they were the perfect match since they didn't gave any effort to understand each other. So it's important you know your partner. There are people who get physically attracted and fall for each other and eventually end up getting married. But later on when they see their wavelength not matching they easily get separated without a second thought. In today's generation we see these incidents more compare to earlier generation. And this is more due to the changing social scenario. With so many things to divert your attention you really don't know what to do.

3. Marriage is not just coming together of two individuals. There is much more to it. To sustain a marriage it is important that there is effort from both sides then only a marriage can carry on. A successful marriage is like a good recipe whose main ingredients are LOVE, COMMITMENT, UNDERSTANDING, CONCERN and TOGETHERNESS. If you can include these aspects in your married life you can find happiness in your marriage.

4. "A happy marriage is a long conversation which always seems too short." When we talk about mental compatibility between husband and wife we have seen that but even after many years of courtship in love marriages this problem exist because when we meet before marriage we are at our best to impress the other person. And we start accepting each other the way we like to see each other. But gradually after marriage when we slip into our natural self that time we have to accept each other as we are. And in most of the cases the real self is not what we wanted to see and then begins the contradiction with the person whom we have loved and with whom I have to spend my life. So it's important that when you love a person love him or her the way he or she is and not the way you want him or her to be. Than only you can be happy.

5. A happy married life calls for constant commitment and concern for each other. There are few small and minute aspects, which we tend to forget in our married life, as we get busy with the daily chores. So at times it is important to indulge in those minute details of a married life, which will constantly remind each other of the love and concern being present. We can conclude by saying "Success in marriage does not come merely through finding the right mate, but through being the right mate."

Answer 2

I would say that compromise is definitely an important ingredient to a successful marriage. However, compromise is a two way street and if like me, one person does all the compromising then this eventually leads to a not so happy marriage! Give and take is essential in any relationship - unfortunately for me, I seem to do all the giving and my husband does all the taking.... leaving me feeling hard done by most of the time. If you are lucky enough to be in an equal partnership, then value every second of it... I'd love to know what it feels like! :o)
