It is the commonality that links them together

That is a major reason for the high divorce rate. Too many couples get married that have little or nothing in common. It might be fun and exciting to date someone who is totally different than you, but living with them is quite difficult.
It makes more sense to find someone that you truly relate to. Choose someone who can be and becomes your best friend and then you will have a lasting marriage.
Take care,
Troy

Many people think marriage is 50/50 and it is not. Marriage is 100% not 50 from you and 50 from him. When 2 people give their 100%, then you each should learn to accept differences and complement the other with them. Keep your focus on why you married this person and build upon that.

Love. Alot of married couples are different people, they have different hobbies, and interests. Love is the thing that binds people together, it's the reason people marry.
If a person feels it's not working because of interests, they're thinking too materialistically.

Asking this, either you're married or you're about to, but not so sure. Before doing anything (in this case marrying the one you love) ensure that you can live together, and not end up in getting divorced. If you're already married, give a last try to save your relationship. But in my opinion, a relationship for which you need to try a lot to maintain it, is not worth it. I wish you luck... in finding what you want soon.

depends on the situation. most people meet out of pure physical attraction and some meet because they have known each other and have similar hobbies/beliefs etc. when given enough time any couple can learn to love one another because you see this many times in arranged marriages where the two dont even know each other until they are married.

When we got married she lived 1200 miles apart and we just love and respect each other so much plus were my is weakness are then she is my strength and were she is not knowledgeable in some areas then I pick up the load . We have been married for over 5 yrs and it is our first for both of us. The key to marriage is respect and to truely Love each other and take your vows seriously

Everybody is different. Nobody said two married people had to be the same. Differences is what makes a marriage interesting sometimes.

Differences are not what make a marriage. It is the love and friendship and all the things that actually brought you together in the first place.

COMMUNICATION is the key to any relationship like marriage.
Sure there are differences between man and woman (or husband & wife). But as married couple, they have to talk about their differences and try to meet halfway in order to work things out. :)

Communication and respect for the differences come to my mind first. When we learn compromise, we can ENJOY the differences. There's no room in a good marriage for "My way or the highway!". Good luck. Merry Christmas
