Question

I need at least 2 paragraphs

Answer 1

To me my marriage is being with my best friend and it doesn't matter what we are doing together just that we are together. We share everything the bad and the good. It is not always easy but in any marriage there is a little work if you want it to last till death us do part. And I do. Taking my vows seriously.I honor the words that I said that day and will work everyday to keep them I stand by him in his new business even when I want to drop from exhaustion. I keep going. When he is sick I am there if only to lay next to him. And he does the same for me that is what I feel a good marriage is. As for the love I fall deeper in love with him everyday. That was a surprise. I know now that love grows.So I want to grow old with him.

Answer 2

I would be willing to bet that the first two answerer's don't have ONE!!

In my opinion, a healthy marriage has a few common components. Each will differ in which of these is the greatest or strongest. I think you will see commonalities.

I really think every marriage must be based on a commitment that says no matter what, I will not forfeit this marriage. It is the hardest, and therefore I think not present in a lot of bad or ended marriages. Healthy marriages also find each partner having a respect for the other person. Some people may call this love, and it may be part of it, but it goes deeper, and like commitment is not based on circumstance.

In an example from a traditional Christian marriage, each person is reminded to put the other person's needs before their own. This is so contrary to human nature, but you will see it again and again in solid marriages. Each person tries to meet the other person's needs, so both feel loved. Only when one person does not try and do this, does it become very unhealthy.

Hope this helps some.

Answer 3

Well, I’m not an expert, but I have been married now for 14 years, and I still have “love magic” that’s that exciting, happy all over to see em’ when getting home from work, or whatever. You just want em. There is total mutual trust, appreciation for peacefulness, honesty, support, understanding, care and concern for one another, and promoting of each other. Respect is a biggie – if you don’t respect each other, you have nothing. You have to be able to take care of you – so does your other half, and then you’re capable of having a healthy marriage. Share everything - don’t hold back anything: concerns, wishes, wants, needs, likes, hardships, downtime, and dreams. Do things for one another to let em’ know you’re thinking about them. Example: I pressed my lips on a napkin leaving a lipstick print with a message written on it, and slipped it in his lunch pale. I also sent two red roses via Teleflora to his job on our anniversary – stuff like that. (it made his co-workers pretty jealous, considering the woman sent the guy the roses!) They will be your best friend, and you theirs. You will never worry about being lonely, ever. That’s a gift/blessing, you give to each other. You are their number one and they to you. Through thick and thin, you promise to face them all together as one. And one more thing – when everything seems to be at its darkest, that happens just before the dawn. Saying I love you while looking deep into their eyes in the best and worst of times, can make all the difference and empower, regroup, rejuvenate, and keep that “love magic”.

Answer 4

A good marriage can be defined in many different ways. It mainly has to do with the couple. Each couples version of a healthy marriage is different.

In my opinion though Every marriage must have a combination a the following things. There must be communication, without this you have nothing. Trust is also a big one if you cant trust one another you have nothing.

Answer 5

Marriage takes lots of work I was married for 23 years and it is a real daily job believe me. First and foremost you must never go to bed mad it will eat at you all night and burn a lasting thought in both your heads that will never be lost especially in hers women do not ever forget things like that. Neglect or taking her for granted is the absolute worst thing so always tell her ever day she is beautiful and what she means to you and give her a surprise once in awhile don't wait for an occasion. Feed the marriage with thought and love she will remember these things even ever so small. Do things together even if it is as simple as a stroll together in the morning or evening. Kiss if for no reason at all and make her desire you never let her think for one minute you don't care for her and her only. Call in the middle of the day from work just to tell her you are thinking about her. At night before you fall asleep tell her you love her and if something were to happen in the middle of the night to either of you she or you would never forget that. Love her that is it and she will return all your love I promise.

Answer 6

Sex, will always make a marriage happy as long as both of you like sex. If one does not think it's that important, forget it. Marriage is about change. If you really love someone enough to marry them you will have to be able to change a little. Compromising is very important. Commitment to each other that you are in this thing together as a team. You will have to be willing to share all the responsibility's. There is an old saying that rings true. A Happy Wife means a happy Life! I could go on but I think you get the picture.

Answer 7

you don't need at least one or two paragraphs. i will keep this simple to a few short sentences. the best thing for a healthy marriage is communication. if there is good communicaition then everything else can revolve around that.

Answer 8

In a healthy marriage there should be things you two like doing together. and there should be at least one thing you both enjoy doing together, even if it's just watching movies.
A woman should love and respect her husband while a man should love and cherish his wife. The differences between the sexes (not only physical differences) should be recognized and esteemed.
A man should act like a man while the woman should act like a woman; you compliment each other this way.
You should also learn to acclimate yourselves to one another's likes and dislikes, and to each other's temperments.

Answer 9

A healthy marriage is spending time together and sometimes being apart but just remember to be nice to each other.

Answer 10

Respect is at the top. It is easy to love someone, but after the initial newness wears off it seems that people loose respect for each other, and even get selfish.
The next thing is Trust. If you don't have that then you are doomed already.
