Love, respect, patience, and compromise - from both parties. In addition you need laughter, good sex and the ability to communicate. You will not always agree, so learn to fight fair and know when to let something go. The main thing, in my opinion, is learning to ride the waves because you will have up times and down. Communicate well and be respectful of each other and you will be able to work through those rough times. Also, make time for each other so you can reconnect and be reminded of why you are together in the first place.

Trust, trust, trust! If you cant trust your man or he cant trust you then there is no secure basis for a marriage. After that if you both agree you don't want to be with anyone else and ye are truly in love then thats what counts and shows that ye're ready for that commitment. Also spending a lot of time in each others company, as in many years in each others company, and enjoying that company, you know then your ready!

Before we answer your question, we must know who initiated the union of marriage? Did it come about as a result of man effort to procreate? The very first place we hear of marriage is in the Bible. God is the brain behind marriage and the one who has the manual for it. He said a man will leave his father and mother and be joint/cleave unto his wife and the two shall become one flesh (not man to man or woman to woman). A good marriage is the complete union, in understanding, trust, commitment, love(patience,kind, bearing, never keeping records of wrong, never rejoicing in iniquity, believe all things, etc. Love never fails), and most of all keeping the one who created marriage at the centre of it. Consequently you will have a good marriage, apart from this you will never have a good marriage. If you have computer and have never read the manual for it, you will either destroy it or under-use it.

the only way a marriage can work is if you are completely soul mates who love everything the other says and does - if thats the case then "every little thing she does is magic" as sting said. If you havent go that then youre in time going to get bored of each other and it will fall apart soon after that.

Marriage is doing a lot of water in the wine (old Flemish saying), as long it not become more water then wine.
Means you have to give a little and take a little and some times, well in fact all the time patience.

Honesty, trust, communication, similar interests, different interests, respect for yourselves and each other, mutual effort to maintain a decent relationship, being best friends, sprinkle of romance here and there, encouraging each other, similar values and morals in a relationship, resolving issues between each other rather than allowing them to escalate and pointing fingers at each other, etc...

a good sense of humor I'm not kidding if the two of you can laugh during the bad times it makes for a stronger marriage acceptance of each other no matter what no abuse of course but general human frailties

Having common values is necessary to start.
Taking the time to work at making it better and not taking it for granted will make it stronger.

Maybe you should look at what doesn't make a good marriage.
Cheating, Lies, Deception etc.
