Open conversation, honesty, and respect are good starts. Do your homework with a potential marriage partner. Find out if you are in sync with your future goals, where children fit in and how many,and if religion is important in your life. Everything in marriage is about the partnership and should always be your important element. You can work through what life throws at you when you can seriously talk to each other about everything. And be respectful and understanding that you will always be two separate individuals coming together to form a strong unit.

Time isn't the real test. Life itself is the real test of marriage. If your marriage is helping you through life, then you have no problem. If your marriage ever seems like a burden that distracts you from the rest of your life, then you have a problem. The sooner you realize that, the better. Then you can decide to work on it.

acception, to accept the thing you do not like and embrace the things you love.
communication, to talk through the good times and the bad,,
support.
love.
I think the one thing is understanding, sometimes knowing your spouse or vise versa had a long week, mayybe at work, with the kids, family, what have you, sometimes it is best to listen, make thing easier by stepiing in on household chores you typoically wouldnt do, and take over the parts, and responsibiltys to make that partner a little more at ease, and show your compassion.
These have been very successful tactics in m y marriage

Read the Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work every month for six months before you get married, do all the excercises and then re read it every year one month before your anniversary. it's practical makes sense and should help keep thinss positive.

Rules to fighting.
1)no name calling
2)no bringing up fights in the past
3)"I'm sorry" ends the fight, the other person gets a final say and it's over
4)Always be polite and respectful
If you follow these simple rules it will last forever.
