(1) Achieve all of your goals so that you have no regrets
(2) Give up all selfish ways, (it is not all about you anymore)
(3)Love the person as you love yourself, (do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
(4) Communication, (don't hold on to anger and the person has no clue what you are upset about, work it out.
(5) Unconditional love, (accept the person for who they are, you don't want someone to change you so don't try to change them.

1 - Never say no to sex unless there is a really good reason.
2 - Let one person handle the finances but keep the other partner in the loop.
3 - Get away with your mate at least once a year. Preferably to a place like Cove Haven in the Poconos where number 1 is not an option.
4 - Have similar interests, but also have your own niche where you can have fun alone time.
5 - Laugh, laugh, laugh.

In no particular order:
1. Knowing I'm not perfect, knowing he's not perfect either; and loving each other anyway
2. Trusting each other to act with good sense and love
3. Strong sense of humor
4. Sharing long term goals
5. Being best friends and communicating

After years at the game, one doesn't give much thought to 5 keys for a good marriage.The most important is mutual respect for one another as individuals; then communicate with one another; be truthful ;give each other some time to pursue specific interests( wife loves the card game Bridge) and cooperate. Make marriage a joint effort and find interests which are mutual so you can enjoy one another's companionship.

My parents have been married almost 50 yrs, and from their opinion, the most important thing in a relationship is how you look at your partners faults. We all have them, but if your partner has that one fault you can't live with, your relationship will not last, no matter how much love there is. Acceptance of the person you love is more important that actually loving them. Love them for who they AIN'T,,, cherrrish who they are. I know thats not five,,but my head hurts now.

1)Trust
2) Mutual respect
3)Sharing of responsibilities
4)Ability to admit fault (sometimes this one takes longer than others)
5)We were friends before we were lovers, now we are best friends and lovers.

Love, trust, acceptance, compassion and laughter. With those traits you have what it takes to celebrate that marriage well into your 90's. The love is unconditional, the trust is the foundation of the relationship, you are willing to accept each other's faults, excercise compassion in times of need and for whatever else life throws at you, you have to learn to laugh at it because nobody's marriage is perfect and things could always be worse.

I would have to say forgiveness, serving one another, celebrating your love for one another, trust, and understaning. There are many others as well, such as perserving, etc.
