I think God and communication.
I know many have put honesty, but I think that comes hand in hand with putting God first in your marriage. It also is essential for communication.
I guess I gave a "Dr. Phil" answer...haha |

The husband and wife fully submitted to God, and the two ppl submitted to each other. one and one should be two, but in marriage , it is ONE. Then with God, its still ONE. three in one, Blessed trinity. amen |

That would have to be the ability to laugh at yourself, admit when you say or do something stupid. HUMOR! OH and one thing more... always tag team on the kids... it is always more fun! |

Setting time aside during the day to just one-on-one talk to eachother (communication) & trust
When you have a problem, you should be able to turn to the word of God for help. God must be #1 in the marriage. |

Though I can't speak from experience, I do know how my father looks at his relationship with my mother. He has always said that before anything else in a relationship, you must make sure that you have God as the center. After that is taken care of all the rest should fall into place. Other important things that are necessary for a good marriage include love, respect, the ability to listen, and the ability to truly voice how you are feeling. But like I've said, I am no expert and can only go by how my father looks at his relationship with my mother. God Bless Beth. |

Respect-without it there can be no love.(not real love anyway)
unselfishness-If you are constantly preoccupied with yourself you can't put the other person first.Which is what you are supposed to do when you get married. |

To be self-aware and then selfless.
First, know who you are -- how can you have someone loving you when you don't even know what there is to love.
Second, be confident enough to be able to place the collective needs of the marriage before your individual desires when required. You have to be strong enough not to be threatened by this. If you are with the right person, pursuing the collective needs will not endanger your pursuit of your individual goals. |

The top two things in my book would have to be:
1. Trust in yourself as well as your partner. ( if you trust him or her they should be honest)
2. Friendship ( communication makes a friendship and a friendship makes a marriage)
well that's my opinion anyway. |

1) Never "step out of the circle" (meaning resolving whatever issue you may have);
2) Love yourself and make an effort to keep your relationship developing. |
