I asked my parents the same question they had been married for 56 years now. They still together and most important a happy couple. Love, communication, trust, understanding, (sex) is like a bond that never brakes, Love.
My parents never have a day off from work since I can recall, holidays or Labor Day they worked. They will just come home to eat, have 1 to 2 hour nap, and then go back to work once again. My father on the other hand he used to be a very strict person. My parents never argue in front of us, I’m sure they probably did but they knew how to do it with out us knowing. Parents didn’t split up back then. They worked it out they stayed together. They said it takes two to make it work. I do want to believe it. I don’t know who did more or who actually kept the relationship work. All I know is that my father was a short fuse guy. My mom is a very patient person. So I will let you guess and make your own judgment. I think the best ingredient is Love.
So that’s how I see my parents. They had their problems but they danced.

That both of y'all are really sure that this is something y'all really want and not doing it just for the sake of doing it (like those who only do it because society expects it). Oh sure you won't know if 20 years from now some kind of major abuse happens between one of y'all, since people do change over time, for better or worse, but with good knowledge of each other to stop that from happening right away.
You or y'all being the asker and/or whoever it applies to.

I'm not sure since I'm single. But I guess love accompanied with tolerance & understandings will be great beginning.

its TRUST dude..you see, love can't live where there's no trust(cupid said that,Greek mythology)...if both can trust one another then they'll learn to respect each others' wants..each others' need. I think married people nowadays should strengthen their trust to one another .. (but don't also forget to keep that spark or shall i say that "hotness")hehehe
