in my opinion a successful marriage is 1 where there is a lot of trust, loyalty, honesty and dedication. with trust and loyalty u and ur husband can reach terms of understanding by knowing how far each one would go and b comfortable around or away frrom each other.... honesty brings about a new level of trust and openness u will b able 2 communicate better since u will b on the same level... without dedication to each other ppl will always have a say in ur life and b4 u know it they will b living it 4 u u guys hav 2 b able 2 stick 2gether through thick and thin good and bad no matter what
without these foundations in life marriage will never last
PS: some good sexual healin every now and then wouldnt hurt!

In my opinion, no one has a successful marriage. We all go through stuff in our marriages. But, what I do think keeps my marriage going is having God in the center of it. Without him, my husband and I might have separated or divorced a long time ago. But since we are both Christians, we know that God will help us in those really difficult times. I don't know if you read the bible or not, but if you do get a chance to read these verses:
Matthew 19:5-6 and also read First Corinthians 7: 27. It explains how seriously God takes marriage.
I heard once in a marriage retreat this: think of you, your husband and God as a braid. Notice how there are three strands, yet only two appear when braided, but you know that three exist in the braid.

A successful marriage is when you are both happy and contented. Neither of you thinks you are missing out on anything or the grass is greener anywhere else. It aint all roses and romance and you do get fed up sometimes. But if you split up what do you get? Only half of what you`ve got. I`ve been married 27 years and the most important thing is having the same sense of humour and basically the same interests.

get along great with your hsuband his and your family. Have children, save money for college and special trips. Keep the love alive withy our husband. Try to travel with him before you have children. IF you already have children take family vacations. Own a house? renovate fix it around together ti will bring you closer to him. No matter how good your relationship is- doesn't mean your husband won't feel the urge to cheat so keep a good eye on him you never know when he'll do something since everything is so great between the two of you. Same goes on your end. Just be his friend

Is you thought you had a successful marriage, then you do. Why would you let another person's opinion take that away from you? If you and your husband are happy, then that's all that should matter to you. As far as sex goes, anything a man and woman do together is fine, as long as both want to. :) don't concern yourself so much with what others think.

A successful marriage, I suppose that is different to each couple, in general I would say:
Still being in love
Still being faithful
Still being committed
Still having dreams
Still holding hands when you go for a walk
and so on

a successful marriage allows for differences in opinion, if you can communicate with the other without getting your character assinated. feeling safe with that person,knowing that you both have boundaries and each party respects the other's.feeling free to persue your interests without fear the other will find falt.being able to discuss anything without the fear of loosing the loved one.and finally if you truly love that person and you both put each other first.

Among trust, honesty, patience, understanding, respect and good communication, a successful marriage for me is all about compromise, both partners giving and receiving.

A successful marriage is one in which both you and your husband are happy. That is the only demographic that matters.

You are right.....there are no right or wrong answers.
If both of you are happy with your relationship what more is there to ask. You are ahead of 50% of all marriages in this country so don't question it.
