A good marriage is trust and being able to communicate. If u have no communication between eachother, there is no marriage. If there is no trust, then u shouldn't even be together. I don't believe that sex makes a good marriage. It may help contribute, but it doesn't make the marriage. A good marriage should be like two best friends, would do anything for eachother, within reasonable doubts of course.

If anyone had that answer they would be rich:)
It takes a combination of many things. No simple answer to a tough question. Marriage is like a job, you applied and were hired now do the work to keep your company profitiable (So to speak)
Marriage is no different then courtship, except that we allow it to be. All the things that are required to get to point of marriage still apply. Trust, love, respect, honesty, communication, affection, appreciation all come into play. Sex & intimacy are a bi-product of all of the above in most cases.
Never take your spouse for granted or let them question how you feel about them. It only takes a few minutes to tell them you love them, make them feel special, attractive, supported, respected, appreciated, desired and wanted. If your not willing to take a minute from your day to do that then rest assured someone else will.
Open communication of feelings, needs and wants is a must. It allows both parties to work together as a team. Both parties have to work towards that common goal and do their respective parts. This becomes worse when you have kids in the picture, a lot of time and energy goes into rasing the kids. But equal amounts of time need to be placed on your relationship with your spouse.

You are not going to find your answer in a book or following a formula. It takes two part to make a good marriage. You and your spouse. You both have to make each other the most important person after yourself. Remember you need to be number one to yourself first as he will have to be the same for himself.
Don't think you can change each other. Wrong. If you are getting or are married you will not change each other. We all are who we are from years of growing.
Last be best friends. I don't mean be friends, I mean best friends. No one can me more of a friend than your spouse. I mean no one. Talk, listen and love each other everyday and never let a day go by without a kiss, a hug and saying I love you.

***BALANCE************************************************************
Men do not talk enough to their wives, and women talk way too much.
Communication, enough, but not too much, will keep you strong. This is of course assuming you "LOVE" each other. Love is the key ingredient. Then, work out even the slightest disagreement. Don't let trouble brew for even a day. As hard as it may seem, a marriage is much easier to keep together than to try to put back together. A broken marriage can "NEVER" be fixed. It can be patched up and "stuck" back together with the artificial glue of counselling, therapy, or family support-but once broken, it will never be like it was in the beginning. Unfortunately, usually a divorce is better that a shattered marriage that is patched up. Sad, but true. A broken marriage hurts til the day you die.

GOD " IT IS he that makes a good marriage. Why you ask because he holds it together. You know nothing without Christ shall last. Being in God helps the communication and trust and honesty and keeps the marriage sacred and it helps both partners to grow in love. If you seek God then all other things will be added and blessed forever.

love is important. not feeling inferior at any giving moment is required for the marriage to last (when both are equal contributers in terms of money and work it is always a good marriage)

Hi - there is no answer to this to be found elsewhere but between you and your partner.
Why don't you ask your partner? If you don't - remember to ask that someone when you meet him/her.
My message is - be honest and let the world know what you want - and dont make any promises you do not intend to keep - and most important of all (marriage or elsewhere) do what you say you will do - do not breake a promise...................
It works for me

Love, communication, trust and respect. If you have all those you have a good marriage.

Victoria .in my opinion its trust, honesty and friendship that keep a marriage alive and healthy with out any one of these three things any relationship dies . If you cant trust the one your with how can you be respect them if they lie then how can you trust them and if they are not your friend how can you relate to them . so any one of these ingredients left out of your mixture will be a recipe for a failed marriage that is just one mans opinion . I hope it helps
