Congrats on your marriage. I would say the most important thing in a marriage is communication. Be sure to talk to each other and let each other know how you are feeling. Include talks about what is bugging you. My husband and I have a once a month talk to go over things that bug us about the other. I know that may sound weird but we don't want little things to fester inside of us until we blow up. Also important is trust and honesty. Once you lose the trust it is really hard to earn it back and can sometimes never be earned back which just leads to many problems. Always remember that you love each other and treat each other with respect. And don't forget to enjoy each other and hte life you have together. Good luck to you.

Have the courage to accept that sometimes you are wrong and your partner is indeed right. This is a key ingredient in any marriage. Pride is always the enemy.

Here's some ways that could help someone maitaining a marriage: 1. Take a yearly assessment of your personal life development and your marriage. Talk about where you are and what you had expected. 2. Try to establish a more balanced life which includes personal development, leisure, and relationships with people, along with the busy activities of a career and family. 3. Refocus or modify your original life dreams. Work together so that both of you are becoming all that God intended for you to be and to accomplish. 4. Concentrate on your marriage relationship. It is extremely easy for the obligations and responsibilities of life to cause each of you to spend all your energy on those concerns rather than on the continuing need to build intimacy.

Be patient, love her forever, give and take. These are among the important criterias that you should do. Women are sometimes emotional, so you should try to understand her and calm her whenever possible. Believe in her and give her some space and time to do things for her own too. And it would help to surprise her once in a while with gifts.

Congratulations! Always be open & honest with each other. Trust your partner completely! You are best friends too! Treat each other with respect! Don't go to bed on an argument! Enjoy your lives together! I have been married for 15 years....I love my husband as much now as I did when we first married (feels like yesterday) & I can't imagine my future without him!
