What is the foundation of a successful marriage

the matter of relationship comprises love like wise the leading of God, it is only god the foundation of all marriage, many people got married 'cos their fiance is rich, later after marriage the money vanish, what do u think she is up to? so their are many of example but the matter of fact is commitment and putting God first. most man loves their girlfriend 'cos she is pretty at dat moment of friendship, once they got married, he became fed up of such lady.

I find it hard to answer this one since I had the feeling that right after our marriage exactly the same happend to me. For some reason he feels settled, only now I am back home (we live in a different part of the world) he misses me a lot. Perhaps there is less need to show it? Or husband takes their wifes for granted as soon as they are married? I know he is proud of having me for a wife, he also has his dreams and they are not realistic at this moment. He likes it if his friends say he is a very lucky man because he has me for a wife. I think for now there is not much more to do as telling him each day I love and miss him, same he does to me and wait till we meet next time. Trust and the knowledge we are married is enough for us at this moment. Partly for you this should be the same. I would advice you to pick up your life too. Go out with your own friends and go on with your life. Men love the hunt, what is catched already is less interesting. So go on playing the game. I wish you all the love in the world.

VERY SAD ABOUT YOU,SINCE YOU HAVE LOST YOUR MARRIAGE LIFE WHY DO NOT YOU THINK FOR A SECOND MARRIAGE, UNNECESSARY WASTING TIME ABOUT DISCUSSING ABOUT THE PAST.....just go ahead and get a new tie ups and enjoy life....do not waste the time '

I'm not in a relationship right now, But I've read in the books or in any articles that marriage is not just because of love but because the two of you are ready to commit a lifelong relationship. Things have changed now that you're married but it is just a challenge on your relationship on how long will you endure it.

The sad thing is that most men are like this. When you date with them they act like as if you are the most important person in their lives and they do that so as to earn you. But after marriage they think and take you as granted so they unfold their real self.I have seen in most marriages..But there are happy couples,on the other hand, who say that the secret of their good and succesful marriage is the humor,real love and understanding as well as discussion about everything they concerned to them. I am really sorry about your marriage...

well to have a successful marriage is not really finding the right person. It is a matter of being the right person. And of course a successful marriage is always a triangle a man, a woman , and God.It must be a perfect triangle indeed..

I think the best thing in a relashionship is space. Let them have their life with their friends because what matters at the end of the day is that he comes home to your. It is commitment and love that make a good relationship but you need to know when you are just being to stuck in the relationship that you dont even have a life outside that circle.

I am not married yet..however, I learn from my parents`marriage (they have been married for 40 years) that love is IMPORTANT,however, TRUST,COMMITMENT,HONESTY play MORE IMPORTANT part.. Marriage is not for one or two months. That`s why when we have problems, we should ask ourselves: why did I marry him/her?/ We know that when we decided to get married with someone, we did it because we love that person. When we have problem, why don`t we talk and listen?open communication is needed when we have problem. Try to handle your ego

The most important things to make the marriage is successful trust. Because without trust on each other we cant live happy life. Trust about work, friendship, money etc. Second one thing is mutual understanding between the couple is most important. Patience in between both, communication all points are important.

I believe the foundation of a successful marriage is communicating, love, trust, honesty and friendship. However, it has to go both ways by working together in making a marriage strong. It can't always be a one sided, you need to meet your partner halfway.

Sometimes we also have misunderstanding in our relationship when it comes our responsibilities but the best thing for that is both of you talk about the problem and don't let the day pass that both of you don't fix the problem. I think the foundation of successful marriage is love, trust, and understanding. If we love the person we must always trust them and we must also show to them that we are worth for their trust. We must also understand what they feel and what they want to say and we must also be honest about it. Happy Mylotting

The best foundation of marriage, I believe is a strong friendship foundation to start with. My husband and I were friends three years before we even started dating. Love is something that is a strong emotion but not enough to keep a relationship together. Commitment is a strong want but not enough to keep the relationship exciting for both parties. So a combination of love and commitment would work if there wasn't a strong friendship foundation first in my opinion. I would suggest talking to him about it. He might feel since he is married that he doesn't need to spend as much time with you or automatically thinks you know how special you are. Just tell him that you just want to feel appreciated sometimes. That you want to know that he still enjoys being with you and that he still loves you.

Well i am married for approx 2 years now and prior to that we were in a relation for 1 year. There were some problems from our parents sides but we were able to convince them and overcome al of it.so to me LOVE, TRUST IN EACH OTHER,PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING, are the foundation for a good marriage..and yes some COMPROMISES which may sound negative to some but it is a part of this constitution..and you have to do it whether you like it or not...

Marriage is a big responsibility a couple has to endure to strengthen and tie their relationship. It’s a matter of taking it to the next level and making it more meaningful throughout your relationship process. A successful marriage depends on the quality time you spend together as a married couple, although it’s another leap of responsibility, it is better to manage and to weigh both your priorities and your partner’s priorities before making any decisions ahead on your life as a married couple. You should never allow negativities and bitterness come on your relationship, as a married couple, you should always keep in mind to forgive and forget. Keep communication in every aspects of your married life open and be giving and forgiving.

Well...I think it is a little of both. Maybe you could express your concerns to him and tell him you need him to spend some time with you. Sometimes the worst can come out in people after they are married but if you keep those lines of communication open, it gives you the chance to talk about and change things. Talk about the things that you feel like make him irresponsible but be ready for him to mention things he sees in you that you might not realize too. Don't be offended..take and learn from what the two of you talk about. I wouldn't make it confrontational either..that usually fuels emotion and makes people defensive...just talk about it and maybe there will be some information you can use to make things a little different if your not happy. Best of luck to you!

Living and vibrant relationship with God is the primary foundation of a successful marriage. Open and honest communication with one another which includes constantly expressing love in manifold and creative ways day to day, being sensitive and responsive to each other's need and an attitude of loving forgiveness in the life together is the human side.

There was an article that I read that made me change my perspective when it comes to marriage. The author says that "We shouldn't hope for a successful marriage but a happy marriage". Thinking of successful marriage is not enough. Happiness in a relationship can make it successful.

dear angelako, sorry to hear that. mutual conversation is important for you two in my opinion. He loved you so much when you were still boyfriend and girlfriend, and that is the foundation for your marriage. you are so lucky to meat each other, appreciate the chance, tell this to your husband. GOOD luck.

As i think the foundation of a successful marriage is that you know to someone with their parents with their dealing from long time and behaviour to others. hope you will not received complete answer as you want, but one idea is that some will think very very good friend but really as your goodlife concerned they will push you to badlife.

I have to agree with AidaLilly. But not only is a strong friendship a key factor. In my opinion I think communication and honesty are the keys to the foundation in a marriage. It has to be an effort between 2. Not just the effort on your side or his, you have to meet in the middle somewhere or you may never get anywhere. I agree though he may just think you already know how special you are to him. Maybe if you guys do like a little date night one night just you and him like you used to (or whatever it maybe that you used to do before you got married) and maybe kinda relight that spark thats there just buried under the stress of life. It might bring you closer together and maybe try talking to him about what your feeling, maybe he shares some of the same concerns, you never know til you try!
