We've been happily married 37 years, and I guarantee you, some of the key elements of a successful relationship - married or otherwise - are:
1) A long list of common interests; things you both enjoy doing TOGETHER as opposed to separate interests and separate groups of friends.
2) A lot of tolerance for each other's differences. As much as you share in common, you're still going to rub one another wrong from time to time. Be mature and deal with it. Separate the small $h!t from the serious stuff.
3) A sense of compromise; so that you can work out your problems with a minimum of emotional trauma. It's marital negotiation.
4) A sense of sympathy and forgiveness. You're both going to screw up on occasion. You need to be able to forgive, forget, and move on with the relationship.

First of all you guys are going to have to be compatible. If you guys don’t have anything in common then its never going to work out. Second you guys have to have that communication. If something is wrong in your relationship and you guys hide it then its just going to head down hill. Third you guys might want to have known each other for like a few years. If you just meet her and your already thinking about marriage then chances are it wont last past a few months. I’d give you a year at least. And finally you got to have trust the most important part of the relationship. If you have all of these things then I am sure you will have a good marriage.

both of you remembering the marriage vows you took before God. I mention marriage vows in most of my answers because to many people forget or just dont care what they said on there wedding day. you become a team when you marry, work together never against each other.trust one another, talk things out when a problem arises communication is important, always listen to what the other is saying, never make decisions without the other, remember marriage is 50 50 one cannot do it all. oh and give each other space everyone needs time to themselves or just time to enjoy freinds or hobbies etc. always be true to each other. best wishes God Bless.

sense of humor, willingness to "stick it out" regardless of your accute moment of fury and the ability to compromise-additionally a housekeeper and a sitter once a week so a "date" can happen would seal the deal. Oh yeah, when you have a new baby and your wife is a couple weeks postpartum and dog tired don't expect her to get nekkid-in fact lower your expectations SO much in regards tpo sex that you will view anything as a good time!

To be open and honest and also keep the communication going so this means you dont always agree and need to accept that.
You keep your individuality and passion in life as this will follow in your relationship

The ability to compromise. Me and my partner are complete opposites, but that's okay because we compensate for each other's weaknesses. On the same token, our difference makes us have to give and take. And you willingly do it if you love one another. And you have to be able to communicate. I didn't say love because I think that's just a prerequisite for marriage.
