to be honest, COMMUNICATION, knowing when to shut up, picking your arguments wisely, and knowing when enough together time is enough...let your man/woman go hang out with friends without making them feel guilty. each of you has your own life and its important to keep it that way so you dont get on each other's nerves. sex is important too...not being a smartass, but it seriously is.

The ability to compromise. Once you begin to make a life with someone else you have to understand that you are two different people with different needs, wants, like and abilities. You cannot make the other person change nor expect to change to meet another's needs. If your hubby likes to spend Saturday afternoon hunting, let him! If that is what makes him happy that will translate into the marriage itself and vice versa. It is about wanting to meet your loves needs with out sacrificing your own...you meet in the middle. It is give and take and it is wonderful when it works. It is recognizing that you are responsible for your own happiness, Don't sit and pout if you don't get your way, sit and talk in a respectful way this way your needs get met but you also understand your partner's needs.
It is recognizes where you are different and working on making the differences compliment each other.

Hey, no smart remarks here. I've got 36 years of happiness.
Several answers here.
Both must give 110%.
Share in all things.
Love each other, totally, fully, unconditionally.
Never argue. And if one of you gets angry, then the other stays cool. If it does get to the best of both, then never go to bed angry!
Be forgiving. No one is perfect, especially in our eyes.
And if you believe in God, pray together.
Stay happy, help each other, don't go anywhere that you wouldn't take your kids.
AND make sure you kiss at least once a day, and say I love you.
Remember you are as one.

Friendship, communication, honesty, loyalty, love and a good sense of humor. I have been married for 40 years to my high school sweetheart and the above is the most important in that order.

LOVE, if 2 people are definitely in love with each other than their marriage will be good.

Mutual respect, honesty, and communication. If you get these 3 right, all the rest will fall into place.
