I'd like to pass on the advice that my parents gave me before I married. I took everything they told me to heart and it paid off for us.
Respect each other.. no need to explain this one...lol
Communicate...Talk to each other about your feelings, your wants, desires and needs.
Listen to each other. Turn off the TV, put down the book and really listen to each other.
Resolve disputes or disagreements before the end of each day. (my husband and I hold hands when we fall asleep every night) Don't go to bed angry.
Compromise. be prepared to do this. It is not good to get your own way at the expense of your significant other.
Never stop dating. My husband and I date one night a week and have kept this up right through our marriage. Whether it's dinner and a movie or a night out dancing, or dropping kids off at Grandma's and cooking dinner at home and watching a movie together, or a romantic night in.
Be Faithful. To keep your love alive you must have trust and faith in one another.
Marriage takes a lot of work. We must accept that men and women are different. It is so important to work out your differences to be able to get through your lives with minimal friction.
Despite all the hard work it takes to keep your marriage never forget to have fun with each other.

My folks have been married like 23 years, and they both say the trick is to NOT go into prepared for it to fail... and to of course marry the right person. If you can't be best friends and traveling buddies, camping and fishing or hunting together (or what ever you like to do) AND ALSO be lovers in love, then maybe they're not the right person. And don't be two individuals living together, you have to be "you and me against the world" and always on each others side no matter what.

you know him more then anyone if you have any red flags things that will become problems later its tells you hes not the one. You need Love yes but theres alot more involved do you have some similar interests. Is he very trusting and honest if you become sick or pregnant how will he react. Think it all thur and if hes the one you want to spend the rest of you life with no matter what then hes the one to marry.

I would say that if either party has cheated its not meant to be if anyone has had any second thoughts its not meant to be. And give it time lots of time i got married to young too soon and very pregant now i have to decide how to leave him cause i dont love him and may have never loved him i just was young and dumb and trust me you will grow apart. You just have to make sure you are really in love. Good luck though.

First of all cogradulations.You and your husband have nothing to do with all those people who have gone through a divorce, so how will you know it will last? if you and your husband decide right now to never quit, then it will last. Good luck.

you'll no it'll last if you just want to spend every minute with him.
If you get into a lot of fights it probably wont work out. NEVER EVER EVEN THINK ABOUT GETTING A DIVORCE BECAUSE YOU HAD A LITTLE FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Marriage is all about commitment. You have to work thru things and be commited to be faithful to one another.
