Well, first off, as a Christian I believe that God has to be in the marriage. By this I mean that two people have to deal with their trouble using prayer and live their lives the way the bible instructs them too. Aside from my Christian point of view, there should be lots of communication and honesty. Make time for one another and know that it is o.k. to have a fight every now and again. Everyone is different therefore there has to be disagreements sometimes. As long as they aren't major violent fights and they are resolved fairly quickly. Be giving and not just receiving. Try to understand each other's feelings and be supportive of each other.

Be kind, loving, thoughtful, pick your battles. Sometimes just shut your mouth. It takes 2 people to fight. Get your point across when things cool down, sometimes you have to wait till the next day. Say your prayers. Be true to your mate. Cherish each other. Spoil each other, take care of each other. Listen to each other.
