Well you talk to a friend, you trust a friend, you lean on a friend, you help a friend, friends are always there for each other, you love a friend, you see many pieces to this one piece. Trust, companionship, communication, love, comfort, loyalty, and more you will find in friendship.

#1 would be common ground. A foundation built on similar goals, interests and morals. With this you'll be able to establish a line of communication that will always be understood by the both of you. With that you'll start to build on the trust, loyalty, love, etc... As the years go by if these things will get stronger and better. Compromise I think is a part of the communication. Unless you understand the person completely and are working within the same foundation then compromise will never exist. People think that being friends is part of marriage. It's actually being the BEST of friends that makes a marriage work. You need to forgive and understand in order for all the pieces to fit. It's not just physical or emotional but it's mainly the pyschological support/connection that makes it last.

Actually sticking it out in those good and BAD times. Not just walking away from the marriage because things don't go your way. Or because of the sheer fact you can't cope anymore. If the love is true anyone can work theiri problems out. But if its that fake kind of love something you realize all spur of the moment. Then that marriage wouldn't be worth saving. Another big secret is being honest with each other. I mean if you know your new husband has a gambling problem or even if you yourself has a shopping addiction. Never and I mean never put your money together in a joint account. I know people would tell you about you not being able to trust your partner and things like that. But seriously though its a real issue that couple needs to be aware of. Especially the wife, I mean women need to protect their assets too. Because you never know if you get divorced or something you need that money to help you and the kids out. Because not every wife is awarded alimony. Something to keep in mind.

The biggest secret is so simple but people don't realize it. The biggest secret of a happy marriage is appreciating what you have and not being an ignorant greedy person that thinks the grass is greener on the other side. The grass is greener where you take care of it so APPRECIATE YOUR MATE!

The biggest secret of a happy marriage is good communication. Being able to talk to your spouse is critical in getting meeting each others needs emotionally and physically. It is easier to discuss the good things and issues that arise than to fight about a problem.

True caring and support of each other and acceptance of the other -- and yet, the courage and openness to help each other to be better people, to change, to grow and to open one's heart -- to have a lifetime of sharing each other's happiness, sorrows, challenges and glories.
It's not about money but money is certainly something we all need. My mother always said "When money goes out the door, romance flies out the window." Unfortunately, this can be somewhat true because we are all ego-driven and base our self worth on money.
However, recognizing that love is universal and boundless and loving that person with all your might, that is the key to a glorious marriage.

First of all, having a strong foundation for the marriage such as similar interests, desires, plans for the future. Then, being able to compromise. Thirdly, having a strong desire to work out any issues or problems facing the relationship and believing that no matter what happens, you will work it out together.
Also I also think it is important to be considerate and compassionate.

There is more than one,
Be Honest
Be a good Listener
Compromise things together
Comforting
Help each other
I have been with my husband for 13 years now, yes there are trying times, but as long as you can remember these things, it makes it a little easier to get by on those hard times.
