What are the important qualities in a husband or wife in a happy marriage relation ship? Why?

Answer 1

Love, understanding, compromise, communication and plenty of SEX!

Answer 2

Oh, lots.

You have to be willing to sacrifice. When you get married, you aren't entirely your own person any more. Parts of your life are now something where things are done by agreement and by compromise. Someone said something once that I think is very important; when you give up something to reach consensus, you aren't giving it up to the other person...you're giving it to the relationship.

But at the same time, it's utterly vital to know who you are and where your boundaries are. Some things aren't compromiseable. You both need to know what they are.

It really does come down to communication. We talk all the time, whenever we can, and are happy just to be together on the way to somewhere just talking, or sitting at home just talking. It's a good habit to be in. We are each other's friend, and I think that's vital. You don't diss your friends. You don't use their secrets to hurt them. You tell them when they've done something that hurts you or angers you, and you work hard on being open to a solution instead of just hurt/mad.

It is a lot of work. But the rewards of a good marriage are amazing.

Answer 3

ALL things are important qualties of a marriage as even the tiniest of things cause conflict, evry single thing and that is why it is very important we know back to front who it is we are marrying. Contrary to what most people believe, love doesn't conquer all... it doesn't even come close. If love conquered all then there wouldn't be so many people posting in the marriage and divorce section of answers, "she doesn't cook and clean", "he wants sex all the time", "he works too much", "i want a divorce".
Know what is expected of you and make sure your partner knows what you expect of them, then you can't go wrong unless one decides to change the rules midway.... which usually happens as we grow and learn. The important thing when rules are changed is that we are willing to let our partners know there have been some rule changes and give them a chance to catch up. I must add that rules have nothing to do with values... 2 separate things. Values are those things that will never be acceptable to break, that is why it is so important to make things clear in the very beginning and not just roll over and let things go just because you love someone. Guaranteed, if you just let it go in the beginning, there is going to be a time you will have to deal with it... and it is then that things usually fall apart.

Marriage isn't just about being with someone, marriage is a fulltime job. Everyday there are new issues, new challenges and it takes 2 to come to the party and deal with them, if only one is working.... that's when arguments begin and once again i will say, thats why it is so important to know what is expected of you and what you expect of your partner.
Too many people let the little things go in the beginning, then the little things mount up over time, then it's full scale war and hurt.... ending with divorce.

Answer 4

These are the most important things in my opinion.
1. Trust- If you can not trust your partner than it will not work you will be worried when your spouse go outs with their friends. If they do not trust you it will be hard to answer all the dumb questions when you get back.
2. Compatible- Make sure you both are compatible if you like to do the same things and get a long with each other better.
3. Listening skills- If you or your partner can not listen to each others worries than you both can not grow together.
4. Understanding- In a relationship you and your partner will go through all sorts of trials and tribulation so you both need to be understanding of each other.
5. Communication- Verbalize all your feelings between each other

Answer 5

Love cause you need love to remain in a relationship, equal relationship - both doing household chores - if the man wants more sex then he should do more housework so his wife isnt too tired!, romance to keep the spark alive, health and happiness

Answer 6

Patience, Honesty, Understanding,Support,Loyalty and Unfailing Love.

Answer 7

Physical attraction, sex, communucation, lots of laughter, both similarities and differences, trust and honesty. These are all important traits to a happy relationship/marriage because they all contribute to being happy.

Answer 8

I think that depends. Women are more emotional than men most of the time, so for a woman its very important that her partner understands her, cares for her, and provides the things that she truly wants.

For a man, I think its more a case of understanding and sex, which is not a bad thing, of course.

Good luck.

Answer 9

love, trust, understanding, sympathy, loyalty, patience, just plain being nice and caring. you have to work hard to have a happy marriage. there will be ups and downs for anyone but a good marriage is all the above

Answer 10

No doubt about this...you gotta enjoy sex with each other...a real attraction has to be respected and maintained. You gotta take care of one another, but maintain room for doing lots of things apart. Don;t trust chemistry and all that drippy crap...find someone you like...someone you like a lot. Don;t worry about love...that takes years to real ripen. It really gelps if you like many of the same things.

Answer 11

Trustworthy, kind, giving, understanding, selfless, patient, tolerant, caring, truthful, forgiving, have unconditional love, wisdom, cleanliness, hard working, sharing, treating others as you want to be treated, do things for others not expecting anything in return, respectful, Christian.

Why? Happy relationship.
