I guess the most diffcult thing in marriage is probably learning how to compromise.... We usually wait for one to cave it rathner than compromise on the situation...

It is keeping the freshness, keeping the sexual attraction, and renewing the relationship each day. You have to work at this and never fall into a behavioural rut. If the relationship is good and you share a lot of the same interests, this is really worth doing and the marriage will last. Never take each other for granted. Never get bored with each other.
Good Luck

The most difficult thing is setting boundaries without hurting the other person's feelings. Another difficult thing is admitting when you're wrong. I have no problem with it, but my husband does. He can be very stubborn at times and I just let it go. Pick and chose your fights. Otherwise you'll go crazy trying to prove your point all the time.

In my experience, it's not periods of stress or upset that test a long-term relationship, it's keeping things exciting during the lulls. Spending time with couples with worse relationships than your own also give you something to laugh at together and make you grateful for what you've got.

staying in love is the most difficult thing with out a doubt.
How you do that is by being sole-mates.
You need to keep the love alive by working together for each other. If you feel as one with your partner, you'll keep the love.
When its gone, its gone.
If you can be sole mates, its the greatest thing ever.

That depends on the marriage. For me it is getting my husband the help he needs and not having him give up on himself or on us. Quitting is usually one of the hardest things all though it seems it's the easiest at the time.

not getting complacent, or lazy. i was married for 2 years but we let the relationship go stale as soon as we said 'i do'. marriage takes more work than just being together because you hit the safety zone. if it ever happens to me again at least ill know where i went wrong. dont mean to be depressive

Building and maintaining the trust of your spouse. It takes work.
Beyond that, money matters. Learning to budget in a way that you both agree with and will still allow you to live comfortably within your means.

First you must eliminate magical thinking. Magical thinking is believing that something will happen without any real effort on your part. This is normal thinking in children, but self defeating in adults.
In order to succeed in marriage you must work on it.

theres many things such as learning to live with each other, learning that even if he was romeo when u were dating hes just not like that sometimes now, compromising, house work, finding time to spend with each other, money, respect, trust..but its all worth it if u have the best possible match for urself
