An ideal marriage to me would be one where there is no lack of communication, understanding, love and passion. A marriage where when one talks, the other TRULY LISTENS... where both people work hard for a common goal and not separate agendas.... A relationship where things are NOT ---"yours or mine", but OURS... and, when there are children, each one takes an EQUAL part in raising them, nurturing them and being INVOLVED with them... and, where BOTH make an effort to make sure SOME part of EVERY DAY is set aside for JUST THEM... without arguments, without stress.

Back in the old days, marriage meant "till death do you part" and these words were taken very literally. Divorce was unheard of because marriage vows actually had meaning and people respected that and stayed together. It often took extremes like adultery, abandonment or sometimes, physical abuse to get a divorce. Even with these issues, many couples still stayed together. The thing was, divorces were next to impossible to obtain so you better have chosen wisely because you were stuck with that person whether you liked it or not. Nowadays, people don't have to be so picky with choosing a spouse because, divorces come at the drop of a hat. In some states all you have to do is tell the judge "Hey, we just don't like each other anymore", shell out a few hundred dollars, and sign some paperwork and boom, your single again. Unfortunately, the ease at which divorces can be obtained has made marriage lose its significance. It is no longer "till death do us part"; it's now, "until I get tired of you." Many people will carelessly get married because of lust, infatuation, financial reasons, etc instead of love. They know that there's an easy way out if they made the wrong choice. Additionally, when a marriage hits a rough patch, many people get lazy and opt for divorce rather than actually trying to work and save the marriage. They just don't realize that marriage is work, so they carelessly get married and when the newness wears off, they end it. Of course this is just my opinion. Now as far as how this applies to developed countries, well, divorce in developed countries is easier to obtain, thus, causing marriage to lose it's meaning and importance.

to me an ideal marriage is made of the following
1. Love-unconditional, awe inspiring, butterflies in the belly feeling true love.
2. Respect- you have to be able to give and recieve a level of respect from your spouse.
3. Honesty- you have to be in a marriage that is built upon trust. always be honest and never lie-not even about the little things.
4. Fidelity-you have to know the person you are with has eyes for you only, that the 2 people are committed only to one another
5. passion- a couple needs to have passion for each other as well as things they are passionate about.
Hope this helps!!

The ideal marriage is one where both parties agree to share. They share their money, the housework, the child care,discipline, education and driving to extra curricular activities. One where Friday night is date night and it is off limits to talk about work, the kids or to ***** - just catch up on each others hope and dreams. One where they work toward common goals and trust each other implicitly. Tough but doable.

An ideal marriage is when both people compromise for the sake of the marriage , and accept eachother for who they really are.

one where the husband loves his wife. and the wife submits to her husband of her own free will. by love I mean being a leader in love a leader in the word a leader inb righteousness a leader in selflessness a leader in intimacy ( read not sex but telling your spouse that which you would not tell anyone else) and for the submission submssive to father until marriage at which point youa re submissive to husband, submissive to Christ and submissive to biblical authority. you might not like this answer but if you actually practiced it you would get an A in real life.
