7 1/2 years.
Finding someone with the same core values, priorities, goals, and character. If you don't make sure these things either match or compliment each other, you will have a rocky and possibly unsuccessful relationship. Once you know these things are compatible, make sure you have commitment, honesty, and integrity/respect for each other.
Too many people don't look beyond the physical attraction and the fact that they love each other. But it takes more than that...a whole lot more!!!

6 years. Committment no matter what. We have been through a lot, including the death of our only child and he is a pilot so he's frequently gone, but staying committed to the relationship is key. That and being unselfish. If you go out of your way to make your spouse happy and vice versa, you will have a lasting relationship.

I've been married 35 years and all I can say is honesty is paramount, empathy, try each day to do something to make your spouse happy (that works both ways), fight fair (no name calling or ancient history, or fighting just to be right), talk I mean really talk and be honest about your feelings or opinion, never make any unilateral decisions about big things (if one of you says no then it's a no, it takes two yeses). Most important of all have a sense of humor, you're going to need it.

Been married for 10 years, and what makes it last is open communication and comprimise. Also put your partner before yourself.

36 years.
A lot of mutual tolerance, patience, respect, communication, and the ability to prioritize the big $hit from the small $hit.
Not arguing over stupid small stuff.
Not arguing over money.
Good amounts of hot sex. Cuddling.
A LOT of mutual interests.
Not having separate groups of friends.
That works for us.
