What makes a good marriage?

Answer 1

living in 2 seperate houses.

Answer 2

Many long years of doing it the hard way and finding out you really do need each other. That creates deeper love.
Be supportive and never resentful or jealous of each others accomplishments. Make sure it's give and take but that you both give and you both take!! Pull the other one up when he or she is down. Every single time too!!

Learn how to get over fights and arguments. Also learn how to get along with each others family!! When you got married, I'm sorry, but you Did marry his family too and they can tear your marriage apart.

Do not be unfaithful!! And if you are take it to your grave no matter what anyone else here tells you!! Sometimes a person
confesses to relieve themselves of their guilt. But it might kill the other one that's left holding the confession and remembering all the lies!! I know my husband never cheated on me because he tells waaaay too much about himself. And that's unwise.

I want to say Try Not to Train Each Other, but everyone would know I'd be lying!! Remember there is an end to your training period.

Make lots of memories and take lots of pictures. Keep your photo albums up to date!! I'm serious!! That's a pain if you don't!!
There are a million things I want to tell you. But you're not here, so I'll stop, and wish you the very best!! It's All Worth It!! I feel more loved and more love for him than I ever have, knowing that we Really Will be Together "until death do us part"!!! My worst fear in the world is worrying that I might be the one to live longer than my husband. I would be left half a person. That's some strong kind of love right there!! @8-)

Good Luck with whatever choices you make in your life!! Just have fun while doing so!!

when both parties can't wait to help to give each other everything and more in every way. It's the non selfish complete offering of love life and soul and when two can honestly say there is no other, there never will be another and they are happier than ever that is the foundation for a great and long lasting marriage.

Answer 6

According to Buddhism, there are four elements of true love. Read what this wise teacher has to say, and find out if what you feel is true love, here:

Here are the four aspects of true love.

1. Loving-kindness. Loving-kindness is not only the desire to make someone happy, to bring joy to a beloved person, it is the ability to bring joy and happiness to the person you love, because even if your intention is to love this person, your love might make him or her suffer. To be able to give happiness and joy, you must practice deep looking toward the person you love. Because if you do not understand this person, you cannot love properly.

2. Compassion. This is not only the desire to ease the pain of another person, but the ability to do so. You must practice deep looking in order to gain a good understanding of the nature of the suffering of this person, in order to be able to help him or her to change.

3. Joy If there is no joy in love, it is not true love. If you are suffering all the time, if you cry all the time, and if you make the person you love cry, this is not really love--it is even the opposite. If there is no joy in your love, you can be sure that it is not true love.

4. Freedom. In true love, you attain freedom. When you love, you bring freedom to the person you love. If the opposite is true, it is not true love. You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free, not only outside but also inside. “Dear one, do you have enough space in your heart and all around you?” This is an intelligent question for testing whether your love is something real.

Answer 7

Laughter, learning to listen and truly understand each other, being best friends, being able to lean on each other, working out a fight instead of dismissing it or not looking at what the other is saying afterwards, working out differences, Dating your spouse like it was your first date (without the worries) trust, fidelity, truthfulness. There are many many other things. Sex is wonderful, but I would put it in the middle to near end. The sex is better because you love each other without ceasing and you know what each other likes as well.

Answer 8

That depends on the two people involved in the marriage.

Answer 9

Be responsible for your sexual behavior and children's future every day of your life -- even before dating and definably while dating. Learn to seperate selfish boys from Resposible MEN and never have sex with a boy.

A bit of chemistry

Then Don't be selfish -- Don't marry someone who is


Presto years of hard work giving and happiness.

Answer 10

establishing a good friendship with the other person that will outlast: money, good looks, trim body, false Friends, tragedy & dissapointmnets.

Because the unexpected will happen and you will one day say....What did I ever see in this person to begin with?

If that person is your freind you will find a reason to forgive and to begin the healing process.

Answer 11

Communication...communication communication...
sharing with your wife or husband your life, thoughts, dreams.
Letting them share with you...without judging.

Sometimes agreeing to disagree.
Hearing what the person is saying, really listen. wait..then hesitate...before giving your two cents.
