Yes...you are right to some extent as i would also like to add some more points which will add up to a successful married life....first of all without trust nothing can work out and ofcourse understanding between two people should be very good and last of all, they should love each other more and more in the passing days....don't you think that i am making some valid points here..... Anyway's thank you for your response

well i`m no expert and have only been married for 25yrs but for a marriage to work it has to be a partenership in all areas . there has to be lots of patience on both sides .the knowledge to know just when to bite your tongue and not say anything .Marriage is not a smooth journey by any means i know in mine there have been rough times and in knowing that things will get better gives me the need to hang in there .

I think marriage is different from married life. The entire discussion runs with the same confusion. I could not understand to follow and make a response.

I think it is important to learn to recognize and respect the each others freedom. It is essential to understand that nobody by themselves are perfect, instead they only be perfect for each other, which is the result of understanding themselves and the others.

I am not married but I feel like we are so I will take a stab at this. I think you have to be patient and kind and take turns. You have to have your partners back and hold each other in highest regards. you're a team so you have to do whatever it takes to keep the team together.

The bond of marriage is sacred and depends on the foundation of total trust, unending love for each other and selflessness towards each other.
