Lots and lots of hard work,compromise,understanding and communication.Then when you get all that going throw in love ,respect,trust,commitment and the appreciation of each other.It takes all this and more but the great thing about it all is.When it's good and things go well,it's absolutely great.Good luck.

Be very honest in your relationship with your mate! Try to eliminate friends, make every night a family night. There are so many things to do, as a couple or as a family! Enjoy each other's company to the fullest......don't give up on your marital life! Life is full of rewards if you reap them accordingly! Always seek God and have fear of him. Never stray out of your marriage, understand each other an fulfill each other. Treat you wife with the utmost respect, and she will do the same!!!

Well Sir, there must be Love, Respect at all times. Those are the keys and they cover alot of ground. I would suggest reading a few Christian based Marriage books. A few Excellent ones are "Love and Respect by Dr. Emmerson Eggerichs" "The Five Love Lanuages", forgot the Authors name but it is a very well known book. You can watch Marriage Today. org on the net by stream video. That is so excellent. More Men should be like you. Best of luck, God Bless.

Don't cheat. Bring occasional flowers, for no reason. Tell her that you love her, each day. Help with the housework. Do the dishes once in a while. Give her a foot/back/shoulder rub, when she is tired. If you do all this, it will go a long way toward making the marriage what you want.

We all would like to know..LOL.. just kidding, anyway..It helps by having a mate that is through with the game! if he or she is done playing the field, flirting with other people, and all that other nonsense, then you two can discuss what you want in your marriage and what can you both do to make it successful.
Being kind to one another and respecting each one's feelings. Try to avoid situations that would make one of you two jealous. And never down talk one another. If you have disagreements, which everyone has..talk it out and come to an adult decision.
Make play dates...travel to different places...go out with other couples on movie dates, or to the park, picnics, plays, clubs, out to eat, sailing, ect.. make it fun...try not to do the same things over and over...relationships can become reputitious and boring if you don't bring in changes from time to time.
Suprise one another with a love card and candy, a flower or flowers..take her to a sports event and go with her to a girly event...balance it out..but keep it real and make it fun!
Plan a day to go to an amusement park and just act silly and have some fun. Try to avoid things that make you argue, avoid them before it happens..
Make sure you love the one you are with and that the chemistry is there. Sex is great...but after the fun..there has to be something else substantial to hold the relationship together. Balance is needed.
Sex, emotional love and support, affection, caring, standing behind one another and protecting each other.
Another important factor to a healthy marriage is Keeping your business to yourselves!!! Associate with other happy married couples, if you can find some..this day in age, it's like finding a needle in a hay stack jack!
Don't worry, Be happy!

I believe there are 3 things necessary for a happy marriage....
know the person you're going to marry
respect the marriage and each other
BOTH partners do whatever is necessary to make the marriage happy & heathy
A common mistake.....love fixes everything.....that is a big mistake.

Always remember you are best friends and treat each other as such. Remember you are on the same team and want what is best for each other. Everything is a discussion and a decision that you can both live with. Lots of talking and communicating. Make sure everything is in balance with your life, work, home, family, church, kids, etc. Everything in moderation. And lots of love!

Don't kick God out of your marriage and you will be fine. As long as you live by the vows you took, and keep your lines of communication with your wife, and let God lead you, you will not go wrong.

Trust and communications, and never go to bed angry.I was married to a great man for 44 yrs (cancer took him ) and believe we had our share of all nighters, because one or the other was angry.And I wouldn't trade a moment of it.

Trust, Communication, and Sex to, Passion, Happiness.
You have to talk about everything, your wife is your lover and bestfriend. Without passion, trust and communication whats the point.
