Having a shared belief in God is the best thing for me and my husband. We trust each other and are completely open. Don't marry someone who has given you reason to doubt their sincerity and fidelity...unfortunately people usually don't change. Then just be willing to work hard. Ask anyone who's been married a long time, you definitely both have to work at it. Make sure you marry a quality person with the same morals and values as you, and make a committment to work through every little speed bump. It's hard work, but it's worth it.

Honesty, trust, love, loyalty and respect. You have to be able to put one another first, take each others feelings into consideration before anyone else's, treat one another they way you want to be treated. Remember that when you marry someone you marry their family as well, respect them as they are your own it will make your life much easier. God Bless, n good luck!

make sure you love them because everthing else will be tried. your vows will soon be forgotten when someone wants to do something that the oter doesnt approve of. trust is the second thing that you must have.Health is up mostly to the Lord. God Bless You

Put each other first - always. Don't pick on small things - they're just not important. If you will treat your soon-to-be with love and care and attention, you will be happy to learn that it will come back to you in spades.

honesty, trust and love. u have to have all 3 to have a happy marriage. if u cant be honest then u will not be trusted so that ruins 2 areas and if u cant trust some one and if they lie then u cant love them. it all ties into one.

Live your relationship and do for your spouse so he/she will not have to. Make life as wonderful as you can for him/her and as fantastic as possible. Reciprocal treatment will make for an extremely long and happy life.
