how will a good marriage work?

hello chryss, i am not married yet,but i am going to marry in a few months.so i don't have any proper idea or experience regarding this matter.but what i feel i am sharing.just the days with my fiancee. for me what matters is these ingredients-love,mutual trust,mutual understanding and acceptance.when we love somebody we trust him/her and rely on him.when we trust somebody we start understanding him.and when we understand somebody we know his problems and weaknesses.what he can give us and what to expect from him.so that leads to acceptance.and automatically you will wish to give him/her the space or freedom which is most important. i can't say everybody goes in this path.no person in this earth is perfect either.somewhere they forget one or the other ingredient which i think is due to the internal ego in them.and that leads to problems in a marriage. so i would say just love love and love.and pure love has everything in it that can overcome any negativity.but its hard to find this pure love. and thanks chryss for posting such a nice discussion and bringing out some true facts to the forefront

first of all, the partners must understand that no person on the earth is perfect and same is true with his/her partner. I have found that in most of the cases of trouble in marriages, the partners expect too much from each other, feeling that their partner is a perfect person and would be able to fulfill all his/her wishes. Each of the partners must understand that there are some weaknesses in each one of them and they have to live with it. The best they can do is trying themselves to change according to the wishes of their partner, which again is a very difficult thing to do. The second thing which is essential for a successful marriage is presence of mutual trust among the partner. The third important thing, according to me, is that each person needs a space for himself/herself. Thus partner must provide that space/freedom to their partner. I think with these things, a marriage can last forever. Although, I do not deny that these are not the necessary and sufficient conditions for a successful marriage. There might be other conditions/requirements as well, which probably i might have missed out on.

Good understanding between wife and husband and a great relationship makes a good marriage work.Sharing sorrows and happiness makes their life happyyyyyyyyy,this may lead a good marriage workkkkkkkkk

A good marriage in my eyes will only work with honesty, trust and communication on all levels. 50/50 partnership and sharing responsibilities. I would have to say that communication is the # 1 thing in my mind. Without that and trust, you can't have a marriage.

Marriage needs true LOVE to work . And love needs perseverance, hard work, & strong communication to make it last. Essentially, one should not marry for the wrong reasons. As long as one is not yet ready to share a good part of herself to the other half, it would be good to wait for awhile before taking that vow. God bless!
