The hardest for me was to realize that my wife does not like all the things that I like. We try very hard to build our relationship on respect for each other. There are things that I like/dislike and the same with her. The thing I believe makes the difference is to give of yourself to make the marriage work. (and to give of yourself - especially me as a male - is often VERY difficult) Cor |

Continually falling in love with your spouse sounds good, but walking it out on a daily basis is a great challenge. Marriage requires you and your spouse to be patient with one another. Kind. Loving-unconditional love. Marriage requires commitment: both parties have lives, and the woman at the office can't get more important, or desirable than your wife. Marriage requires sacrifice. Marriage requires you to change just to be able to continue to live in the same house. Marriage takes hard work and a mindset that having a great marriage is possible. |

Be patient Remember you are there to stay Understand they are only humans Love your spouse unconditionally No Reservations, don't have an exit strategy Don't entertain negative thoughts in your marriage Keep the first fires burning, all those appreciations, efforts, buying presents, going for a walk holding hands, eating out together, buying flowers, etc |

I believe the key to a successful marriage is remaining best friends with your spouse. Keeping communication open, loving as though there is no tomorrow, and always remember why you fell in love with them to begin with.

Two things...a sense of humor and trust. With a sense of humor, it's being able to laugh and to make your spouse laugh also. The other day I was in quite a bad disagreement with my partner. We have totally different ways of "fighting". I tend to want to talk it all out and he heads into his "man cave" to cool down. But on this occasion we sat there -- the one who spoke first "lost". Finally after over an hour he looked at me and said "Well, I'm glad we talked this out. Doesn't that make you feel better?" It was so silly and funny that it instantly stopped and reminded me of exactly why I love him so much. The other is trust. Physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. ![]() Sherri PS - Joebaby, are you sure your name is spelled correctly? From your post it looks like the "J" should be an "H". |

It takes a lot of strengh to want something so badly that everything else becomes secondary. Not everybody has that strengh. Not everybody should have that strengh. You can't make your partner love you, but he/she does it. So,just be yourself, don't conceal your emotions, feelings and thoughts. |

This is totally from a guy's pov. But when I got married (almost 30 years ago...and to the same woman, I might add ), my dad told me to make sure I married the kind of woman that I would want to raise my kids. I did.

A successful marriage requires a lot of patience, trust and motivation of each partners. There are sometimes a successful marriage would come up with trouble for a small reasons but in the end they will realize that it is very useless quarreling about that small item. So, through quarrel a successful marriage and partners will arise.

| You’ll have a successful marriage only if you find the right person for you. Who is this person? The one that belongs to a similar psychological type and shares the same attitude when examining reality. If you’ll marry someone who belongs to a psychological type that is the opposite of yours, your marriage won’t last too long. This means that before getting married, you have to learn how to find the right person for you. |

The #1 thing I love about my husband is he loves me for ME, faults and all, and has never tried to make me change. He says the #1 reason he loves me is because I put up with his sh**. So I guess we're saying the same thing. ![]() The thing that was hardest for me to learn was that we don't need to be together all the time to have a good marriage. My parents always were so I thought that was how it was supposed to be. He has his guy time, I have my gal time. And we laugh about it when we get home. |

Seven Secrets to a Great Marriage 1. It Takes Two To Tango - In great marriages, two become one. It is not you and me, it is WE! They are a strong team together. They form a strong marital relationship without losing their individual identities. 2. There Are No Sacred Cows - In great marriages, couples talk about anything and everything. There are no sacred cows – no secrets. Successful couples are each other’s best friends. 3. Follow the Golden Rule - In great marriages, couples understand that you do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Great marriages show mutual love and respect to each other on an everyday basis. 4. Your Body Is Your Castle - In great marriages, couples understand that taking care of yourself in a health sense is not sufficient. You must also promote health in your spouse. To live until “death do us part” requires a mutual concern about good health, diet, exercise and looking your best. 5. Fill a Joint Return - In great marriages, it is not YOUR money and MY money, it is OUR money. Their financial goals are developed together and they are mutually committed to achieving them. 6. Touch Often - In great marriages, touching each other multiple times per day is the norm. A touch acknowledges the presence of the one you love and says I love you so much I simply must touch you. 7. Never Be Bored - In great marriages, love is characterized by variety and spice. Great marriages are exciting, never boring, and are full of unpredictable things. Don’t always do that which is predictable. Check out my site, SelfGrowth.com and blog for more articles, videos, and links on marriage |

What you put in, is what you get out. A successful marriage is based on partnership, friendship, and love. Without one the others will fail. A successful marriage is also based on hard work, determination, and the ability to dream together. "Nothing worth having, comes easy." |

tricia2253, I agree with you 1000%, separate bathrooms is a must. In addition, a successful marriage requires both individuals having a healthy relationship with themselves and a willingness to be each others reflections, see and accept what you may like and dislike in one another. Also you just have to be horny for one another, LOL. |

An excellent sense of humour is a must, as is the old adage, never let the sun set on an argument. Resolve to kiss and make up before going to sleep that night. Don't see it as a power game. Husband and wife should work like two wheels on a chariot. Be prepared to change horses in midstream if you suddenly realise your partner is right. Forgive. It takes two to make a fight - if one gets in a rage, be disarming and charming. It works wonders. If you are the raging bull, take a second to stop and look at yourself in the mirror in mid-rant. It becomes more difficult to take yourself seriously. You know you don't want to do damage you will later regret. Always let your higher self prevail, and don't let the mean, petty child within gain the high ground. Don't expect a grand time in the bedroom if you don't spend quality time outside of it. Don't let romance die, but don't go overboard with it either. If you're a husband, kiss her now and again on the back of the neck. If you're a wife, blow gently in his ear. Don't sweat the small stuff. Don't sweat the small stuff. Don't sweat the small stuff. |

Only one word keeps a successful marriage and that word has a double meaning. That word is....drumroll.......communication, or you can call it an understanding,(even in silence). If two people understands one another and is on the same page then it is all to the good.

Advice for Men: Give up 80% of the final decisions to the woman... but hold fast on your 20%. Most guys don't really care too much about the minor decisions. DO give your honest input when requested! Advice for Women: Men should be cared for and "trained" as you would a child. Take care of them and they will last longer... and help them to learn what you need. DO allow/expect them to lead, and expect yourself to lead from behind (see Tao Te Ching) Advice for both: Always be willing to say you're sorry Always express how you "feel" instead of judging: ie "I feel like you are trying to control me" instead of "You are a controlling $%@#" Judgements don't get us anywhere, but how we feel is always valid. DISCLAIMER: All relationships are different, but there tends to be one partner that takes a more dominant masculine role (men above) and one takes a more dominant feminine role (women above). That is NOT to say that these roles "should" be taken by any particular gender. Same sex partners, masculine females, feminine males, non-traditional families, etc. all will arrange along the masculine/feminine roles... ron |

Golden Rule: Treat others the way you want to be treated. Unless you are a masochist, then treat them the opposite of the way you like to be treated. Be honest and have an open line of communication. Yes, if my wife looks fat in that dress I say yes you do. If she gets mad at me, I then tell her: Don't ask me anything that you are not ready to hear the honest truth about because that is what I am going to give you. If you don't like my response, Next Time I can lie to you to make you hear what you want. She doesn't ask me that question any more |

I love that quote. It's good to always remember how you fell in love and those wonderful reasons why. Think why that person fell in love with you as well. Are you still that fun, thoughtful, considerate, romantic person? I think everyday we have to love ourselves. That means take care of our own mind, body, and soul. Then we will be more appealing to those around us. Most people start concentrating on themselves only after their partner is gone/relationship over, and they realize they have to "enter the market once again". | |

I'm not married yet (we're engaged), but one thing I had to accept is that my boyfriend IS in fact, the most annoying person I've ever met. Let me explain. While I won't bore you with all the details, we had a long history before our relationship was ever official. As much as his antics would piss me off, I realized how deeply I cared for him and loved him. He would say the exact same thing about me. That fact comes before ALL else, no matter how hard it ever gets. We share far more good times than bad. We don't always see eye-to-eye, but we're on the same page as far as our relationship is concerned: we take the time out to love, understand and look out for each other. We have the same priority: enjoy life. Ultimately I believe it comes down to whether two people want similar things out of life. It doesn't matter if you listen to the same music, hang out with the same people or even share the same religion. If you want the same things out of each other and out of life itself, a relationship has greatest chances of succeeding. |

I agree completely. Think of what would make her happy each day, take the ebst care of her you can, and treat her like you're filled with appreciation and happy that she is in your life. Hopefully she will treat you well too. Most people would.

Patience and tolerance are crucial. You have to have faith in your partner. If your love is pure and relationship is honest it will save your marriage to the rest of your life. Remember that.

Selfishness kills any relationship including marriage. Don't be selfish. Easier said than done, but you will discover that as you focus more and more on your partners needs, yours will be fulfilled by them. Your cup will run over you will be so fulfilled. Keep perfecting that for a lifetime and you are in for a happy life with your spouse.

Whilst I've only been married a couple of month - I think that the most important steps that people tend to forget are: 1. Work very hard to really understand what the other person thinks - nothing kills a marriage as mis-understanding. Spend a lot of quality time just finding out about the person you are going to spending the rest of your life with actually thinks about things. If you know why someone does something, it's easy to accept and (if you must) change. 2. If you are feeling frustrated, let your partner know about it, but do it in a nice way. Don't hide it - you're only cause problems in the long run. Also - don't just rant about it - people switch off and don't listen. 3. Tell them that you love them. A lot. Also say lots of nice things - however tough people are on the outside they do like. Also - if they something nice to you, just accept it and don't look at the negative side of it. 4. Make sure that you both understand your life goals. If you both know what you are aiming at - life become a lot easier. You make sure that you both keep on track. 5. Spend quality time apart. Spend quality time together. Don't just slump in front of the TV for hours together - go out to a nice place to eat together and really talk. Also - go and do your own thing for a while. It's much better to spend 5 quality hours together and 5 hours apart than 10 hours watching TV. James |
