I am the kind of person who love to observe and learn. I love sampling various fields of life. Recently i have been sampling marriages and i cannot tell if it was a coincident but i have been coming across such scenarios of late.
It is like i have come across all sorts of stuff in such a small span of time. Parents fighting over petty issues,children running away from home,wife killing husband and vice versa and the best of all the happy families that make you know it is possible although it is not a bed of roses.
My finding; Having a good family is possible but it comes with effort from the two involved. Allowing a third party into that relationship messes things up. It is not a smooth road but good communication accompanied by understanding and not to mention prayer really work well.
I may not have said it all,afterall i myself i am yet to get there lol

I agree. My spouse has a habit of flirting with all the girls including my friends.

Good luck with marriage my friend.
It is not an easy road even at the best of times.
I prefer to avoid it at all costs after too many bad ones lolz

l was married 12 years,today I wonder how I managed to keep it going so long.Fault was on both sides but then, my x has been married and divorced 3 more times since our divorce in 2008 so im sure l did ok.BTW, l was wife number2, he was already divorced before we met.
Will i re-marry? yes l have, is it smooth sailing? ask me that in 10 years from now because i don't think it will last that long lol

A good marriage involves patience, respect and tolerance. But that is not all. I am sure that there is such a thing as luck in this case. Some people are just not meant for each other.

My prayer would be for everyone to have a good marriage filled with love.

Just curious, what do you mean by "sampling marriages"..
Whilst understanding, patience, compromises, love, care, flexibility, effective communication, and timely actions are required to build and foster a good relationship.
I straight up don't want to "do work for a relationship" or "make a relationship work".
If you find yourself spending a lot of time "making the relationship work".. then it's time to consider why it doesn't work, and maybe take yourself off to find someone that requires less effort.

i am 24 and unmarried , and i have just observation
but i think Communication(as you have mentioned) is key to maintain marriage , rather every relationship.
Things might not as they look, so we should always listen, and second major Ingredient is Trust.
i can tell further after i will get married
