Answer 1

respect

Answer 2

I don't think that there is a "SECRET" that will magically make your relationship work forever. A marriage requires a lot. First thing, and it's the most important, He/she is your best friend! best friends tell each other everything without the fear of being judged. Second, don't go to bed mad at each other! I know it sounds funny, but the bedroom should be held as a sacred place. If something is so upsetting that you want to stay mad for more than one day, write it down and put it on your night stand to remind you the next day, but in the bedroom he is your king and she is your queen. Third and last, listen,learn,change. Both of you will be learning new things about each other,if you and your spouse are good listeners, you will learn what you can change, what you can't, and what your gonna have to accept. Oops, one last thing, you and your partner will come to a time where things will seem old sexually, mentally, and physically practice trying new things, food, movies, in the bedroom, etc.... the more you make things new the longer you will stay happy with each other. Good luck!!! If your religious, share your marriage with god, let him carry you and your spouse through the hard times! He can help.

Answer 3

congrats on your wedding, I hope it will last forever.
But unfortunately there is no scientific formula for a successful or perfect marriage. In real life is it a mix of hard work, love, understanding, respect, honesty, communication, equality and the ability to put the other first and give more then you take. With communication I mean the art of listening. Many couples talk but few listen to what the other is saying. In an argument let your partner finish what ever he/she wants to say, then think before you answer and finally respond to what ever he/she just said. Keep any argument in the present and don't go back to things that have happened in the past. And this goes for both parties in the marriage.

Answer 4

Keep the love alive.
That is the most important thing in a marriage.
So many marriages end because they lose that love.
Always hold hands.
Always tell him you love him, just for no reason at all, just because you are feeling it at the time.
Always kiss each other before work, and when he comes home from work.
Always try to make him happy (hopefully he will be doing the same thing and trying to make you happy). Plus when you know you make your husband happy, that should make you feel good.
Always hug him, when you feel like hugging him.
Try to never go to bed mad at each other.
If you're having problems, try to talk it out.
Don't wait for the next day, then it just festers, and becomes a bigger problem.
Deal with it, when it needs to be dealt with.
Let him know how much you love him.
Thank him for all the things that he does do for you. Don't ever over-look anything.
Give credit where credit is due.
Best Wishes
Good luck
And Congratulations !!!!

Answer 5

Always have open communication
Trust
Love...of course
Faithfulness
Keep the romance alive always...don't let it drift away on you
No secrets
Be best friends
Support one another (have each other's back)
Laugh together a lot
No jealousy what so ever
Never go to bed/sleep angry
Respect each other and each others wishes
Know that it is okay to disagree to disagree with each other
(in other words let each other have their own opinions)
With the exception of God, put your spouse before everyone including your family (in other words, always keep God first and your spouse next before anyone or anything else)
Love God together...learn of Him together and pray together
Be spontanious, bring home flowers for no reason...yes, even women can bring home flowers to her man
Never forget what made you fall in love in the first place and keep it alive
Be proud and show that you are proud of your spouse
Don't ever take each other for granted...marriage takes work in the rough times so don't forget to work at it
Be a gentleman: open doors, light cigarettes (if you smoke), help woman put her coat/jacket on, etc...
Just love with all of your heart and not by just talking the talk...walk the walk of that love always
Help your wife around the house even if she does not work, because a homemaker's job is the hardest job there is...and it is a job.....and women help your man with things too...in other words always be a team
I think this should get you off to a good start...and if you continue with all of these things, then your marriage will last a lifetime and you will always be together.

Answer 6

Communication
Respect
Trust

Answer 7

There really is no "secret" to a successful marriage. Your marriage will only be what you make of it. If you love, trust, value and stay committed to your hubby, you will always have a successful marriage.

The thing you need to do is find what is right for you and your hubby. Love each other as if today is the last day of your life and never go to bed angry with one another. You never know whether you will get that chance to apologize or not. There have been many nights that my hubby and I have watched the sun rise.

Tell him you love him....he can never hear it too much!!!

Best of luck to you & your marriage.

Answer 8

best of luck, i think there are no secrets to a successful marriage. However, there are a few things to keep in mind being a newlywed.Lots of communication is key, a great listener, learn to mix things up and keep the relationship spicey, learn what are your hubby's likes and dislikes ad any other things u know/think are important. A marriage is like a great career, it is hard work!!!!!!!


Best regard

Answer 9

The secret, my friend, is complete transparency. No secrets, no lies. Be best friends. Go for walks. Kiss spontaneously. Hold hands. Pray together. Make love, not just sex. Talk. Share. Cry together. Don't fault each other for the little annoying things... everyone has those. Slip each other notes in your lunches... oh, and flowers are nice.

Answer 10

I am not sure there is such a thing as a perfect marriage, but I have been married for 25 yrs to the same man. We can always talk, not hollower. We go to Church, no matter what else is going on. Put each other only second to God. Love him, trust him and believe in him. If you do not have these things, there will be problems. And I almost forgot, DO NOT go to bed mad! Hope this helps you.

Answer 11

lol. I haven't had a successful one yet, but my best guess is communication and openness.

It's easier to list the things that will cause it to fail:
1)jealousy
2)infidelity
3)poor financial decisions/communication
4)extreme differences in how to raise kids
5)either mom-in-law getting dragged into your personal business/disagreements/dirty laundry.

I'm sure there are others, but these things seem to be the things that most couples fight/ or divorce over.

Your best bet is to not ask people here, but to find someone who has been successfully married for years and years and ask them. :)
