I think one of the most effective tools in a successful marriage is to remember that you have to pray. It may sound corny, but even if you've married someone that God didn't necessarily ordain for you, and you are fully committed to the marriage through prayer, and communication, I believe God will honor that and bless the union. You have to be willing to compromise, to communicate your feelings, and come together for the common things. You have to present a united front to the world even if you don't believe what your spouse is standing for, you don't go against him or her in public. Staying by the side of the other in the times of adversity is important. Pray together, and you will stay together. If all the components aren't there in the beginning, and you pray, things will come together, and you will taste success.

Be mature about every situation, communicate about everything and I mean everything! Be honest always. Be best friends. Have an open mind, eccept your spouce for the person they are, let them be themselves, never try to change a person if they are headed in the wrong direction talk to them just try to get them to see your point and sugess things never demand and have unconditional love for them in the way you would love a child! All is eccepted better and for worse.

For everyone its as individual as the people are. What works for 1 couple might not work for another. Trust seems to be a very big issue, and is very important. Good Luck.

Open communication with honesty, trust, loyalty and love. Be friends and be happy. Putting your spouse before everything, treating your spouse as you want to be treated. Respect one anothers feelings, share things together, have fun and be kind and considerate.

Communication, honesty and standing by each other when things get rough. .. becuase they will, sooner or later. Forgivness, understanding (I'm not talking about with something like infidelity, becuase that shouldn't happen.) backing eachother up.

love, patience,a lot of understanding,trust, and sense of humour, and when troubles do come you must learn to solve the problem together,as you will go through .Sometimes compromise is needed from both.An open mind works too, you must not always insist what you want .

you have to find someone right, that you know is "the one" to be with. And when there are difficulties in marriage, you 2 have to work through it together, and not give up, that's how you succeed in marriage.
