The most important thing would be for both of them to have low expectations...
High expectations is what kill most marriages...people expect too much or think they are entitled to more.
Then they divorce and realize, too late, that there's nothing better out there and they should have cherish what they had but did not appreciate enough.

Not everything about marriage is fine and dandy. There are definitely a lot of struggles and a lot of arguements. I've been married for a little over a year and I am completely happy and everything is going well but of course we do fight and argue. These pictures only portray the happiness one has in a relationahip. Of course no one would post a picture of them yelling their head off at their spouses. When you find the right person, you'll know because they will do anything to keep you happy and to be with you. Not everyone married person is miserable. Without my husband, I'd be miserable because he is my best friend and I couldn't live without him.

To make a relationship last, couples have to be able to:
- Never take the other person for granted
- Always consider each other's thoughts and feelings
- Communicate, communicate, communicate - discuss any problems or concerns but avoid nagging
- Do things together - it helps to have common interests
- Alow each other the freedom to do their own things too
- Avoid jealousy at all costs
- Be together because they want to be together - not as an obligation
- Support each other through times of difficulty

kouklalynn"s answer (before it was removed)
"Let me ask my wife of 24 years and I'll get back to you!!!"
made me want to answer...
Let me ask my husband of 24 years...oh! wait! I forgot for a moment...he just left me because he has money and can afford a younger partner!
I thought I was happily married with great kids, staying fit, and new the "secret" to having a long lasting relationship (27 years), then I hit menopause and my world went crumbling down!
Well...it was nice while it lasted...
Still, my husband was the perfect husband (smart, caring, good father, made a lot of money with a good job, fit, did not smoke and drunk only socially...) and I was the perfect wife (exercising and staying in shape, good sense of humor, good mother, good listener, best of cook, never nagging...).
My advice is to just enjoy it while it lasts, be respectful of each other, do whatever you can to make the other one happy, because your happiness comes from making the other one happy.
Do not expect anything from the other...just always be surprised you get so much.
And then, no matter what...just know that it might not last.

Marriage is our most important job and many put it on the back burner expecting it to last forever on it's own. It took work to get that special someone to notice you and to fall in love with you and it takes work to keep it that way. I love my job, I love keeping our marriage alive. I stick notes in his pockets when I do the ironing. I call and tell him I am thinking of him and have something special in mind when he gets home, I love making special plans and special dinners and I love date night. I love praying together and playing together and getting away and going on drives and just looking into his eyes. Yes we have only been married 20 years and that is not such a long time but our love is still hot and our hearts are still committed and we are staying this way. Our children are grown except one very special boy that we will have with us until we die and he has Down Syndrome but our life and our love is complete and we both work at keeping it special and romantic and fun. I hope this helps. We also trust each other and allow time alone and with friends.

You have to be friends first as that friendship will keep the marriage strong when life throws its downs at you
My husband was my best mate before and 12 years later he is still my best mate
He is kind, considerate,honest and we are not selfish and we support one another
i also put up with his football etc and he puts up with my shopping
also we never expect too much from one another and do not take each other for granted

Never be forever honey...please we cannot deny the fact that we will all die and passsed away in this earth.Life on earth is not forever....
I prefer to used the term lifetime happiness
1.Ask from God that he will give you a lifetime partner(Pray)
2.DATING-Getting to know each other,NO SEX INVOLVED PLEASE
3.COURTSHIP-You will determined if you will feel in ,love or not,This involves both parents..should know about that you both feel in love(STILL NO SEX PLEASE)
4.MARRIAGE-Marriage proposal....and Marriage time...Engaged..and share bows in the church or etc.
A time of having children and building a family(The only time sex is alllowed after the wedding)
100%sure that you will be happy together to the end...
