i often wonder what the secret is to having a long, loving, successful marriage. is it to respect eachother, be eachothers best friends, a warm hug and kiss each and every day, to say "i love you" everyday, laughter, passion....what? im sure its a combination of all of these things AND more. what are other important things that a marriage must have to keep it meaningful, happy and long lasting?

Love doesn't last very long if it is not nurtured by both parties. All relationships should be a joint effort. Doing unexpected special things for each other keeps you going. I still think you need to have trust and honesty in the foundation of a relationship. If you don't totally trust your partner, the other things begin to crumble around you.

Mutual trust and deep understanding are few essential requirements of marriage apart from both partners should be truthful to each other.

you are right a combination of these things you mentioned but you failed to mention Faithfulness to each other. I believe that when we love somebody we have to give all coz when the love, trust, respect don't go together then eventually the marriage will fall apart. And once the trust is broken it can hardly be recovered.
