LoveWhat are five things that makes a marriage successful and why?
1. Trust (for one another, without trust there is no marriage)


2. Love (obvious - have to be in love w/ each other)


3. Communication (BOTH of you have to be able to express and share feelings and emotions)


4. FUN (enjoy life, have fun, be crazy - life is too short not to)


5. Being friends first (This is a must, your spouse should also be your best friend - with whom you can and do share everything!!!)


Hope that helps!
trust - if you don't have trust then there isn't that bond





love- making sure that the person your with is your true love and you have no regrets





commitment-making the person your with the only one you ever have sex with as long as your together





honesty-tell them how you feel no matter the problems that might arise because of it,, don't lie or cheat at all
Marriage is not always easy but, if you have love, trust, loyalty, understanding and honesty within each other, one will always overpowered another to keep the marriage strong.....
1) Trust, without this there's not much of a relationship





2) Honesty, you need to be able to share the good and the bad





3) Consideration and thoughtfulness, we should be able to consider each others feelings and needs in order to have compassion and love





4) Be a good listener, both of you, never be the one just ';waiting to speak';. We all have something to say but we don't all have someone to hear it.





5) Space allows individual growth and therefore widens the horizon in a relationship.





hope this helps

the man doing as the woman says!!! :D
I usually prefer to go with four:





1) A long list of common interests; things you both enjoy doing TOGETHER as opposed to separate interests and separate groups of friends.





2) A lot of tolerance for each other's differences. As much as you share in common, you're still going to rub one another wrong from time to time. Be mature and deal with it. Separate the small $h!t from the serious stuff.





3) A sense of compromise; so that you can work out your problems with a minimum of emotional trauma. It's marital negotiation.





4) A sense of sympathy and forgiveness. You're both going to screw up on occasion. You need to be able to forgive, forget, and move on with the relationship.
1. LOVE - Love will make any marriage a success, because when two people fall in love, they will only want to make each other happy and because they could never be apart, the marriage will last till death do them part.





2. RESPECT - They should respect everything about they're partner. Their wishes, beliefs, abilities and intelligence.





3. TRUST - In a marriage, the couple should trust each other incredibly. They should always be reliable, responsible and true to each other.





4. HONEST - Always sincere, genuine and very open with each other. Never cheating, stealing, or lying.





5. COMMUNICATION - Married couples should be very understanding and very compatible when they communicate. Communication will let them know each other inside and out, mentally, emotionally and physically.
1. Honesty - Because if you are not honest with your partner and they find out.. they have a hard time trusting you again and that puts a strain on your marriage, because they don't know when to believe you and when not.


2. Trust - Always stay true to your partner. There will always be someone else who will pay you attention, but you leave who you are with or cheat and it will ruin a good relationship. THe grass isn't always greener on the other side.


3. Laughter - You need to laugh with and at each other..


4. Love - Of course love.. without love what is there.


5. Friendship.. you need to be able to communicate with your partner and be very open, that way if there is a problem you can talk about it and resolve it.





Good luck on your essay!

Because without even one of these the rest will eventually fall apart, each one depends on the other to keep your marriage strong and successful. they're all pretty close to each other but to me those are the things i would look for before getting married
