Communication..respect and love...if you try to do one nice thing for one another every day...and say one nice thing to each other...you'll find that each of you will start to say wonderful things and do wonderful things all the time. If you hug each other instead of yelling, and at those trying moments...if you stop and kiss...resolving the problem and having happiness will come easy to you.
Good Luck, Take Care

First of all there is no such thing as a perfect marriage because there are no perfect people but there can be successful marriages... I feel that the secret is communication, trust, honesty and loyalty.... Being selfless and not selfish... Treating each other the way you would want to be treated.... Loving each other unconditionally is a must.... Having God as the center of the marriage and praying together.... Mutual respect is a must too... You must be willing to work through hard and trying times together and not divorce and seperate over every little thing. Holding hands and dating once in a while is important too. Loving each other where they are at and loving each other for who they are and not what they are is very important... These are just some of the things that make a great and happy marriage.

I'm not sure there IS a perfect marriage. As some who has been married for 30+ years, I'd say that marriage is a continuous give and take, and successful marriages are ones where the partners are willing to give more than they take.

I don't know what a "perfect" marriage is; I'm sure everyone has their own ideal model on that, but ours has been good for almost 37 years.
Elements necessary for a happy, long-term relationship include:
1) a deep sense of compromise; the ability to work out problems both large and small without a lot of conflict.
2) a lot of common interests; things you enjoy doing together, as opposed to two people with separate hobbies and circles of friends.
3) a deep sense of forgiveness, because you're human and you're both going to screw up on occasion. It's important to let things go and move on.

first secret - there is no perfect marriage.
second secret - it takes work, sacrifice and giving to make a marriage successful.
third secret - total trust and belief in your spouse. This takes communication and faith.
Having God as a witness for marriage vows helps tremendously, too.

There is NO perfect marriage, as we are all imperfect people.
Commitment goes a long way to helping you work at it to achieve a good one.

Simple. Knowing the fact that there isn't one and both parties give 100% effort.

If we knew then it wouldn't be a SECRET.
