What makes a good marriage?

Sorry but my response is a little more cynical, a good marriage is about buckling down, holding on tight, ignoring the potholes and learning to forgive. And if you can do all those things, for long enough, you'll be the best of friends for life. Its about surviving, after all - love and lust have a pretty short expiration date.

Marriage is the best relationship in the life. To make a good marriage firstly you need respect to each other, love, friendship, caring, bond, understanding, patience, adjusting nature, should share each and everything and so on I think the list goes on. You should mainly have love for each otther to that extent that you can do anything for your partner.

I think a good marriage is a marriage with a strong base. What I mean with the strong base is not only the true love that occurs between you and the partner, but also the well-prepared life to be lived together. Marriage is a different thing, it is committed relationship which you cannot just break them up. A strong base should be: the financial stability, the commitment based on two party agreement, the love (of course) and the willing of take and give. The well preparation should be: psychological preparation of many unexpected problems, financial preparation, and of course the planning program for at least 5 years in advance. I believe it would be hard to get them all, but for me, those were the consideration you should think about before you get married

I'm single but i noticed in the society that lot of couples didnt succeed on their marriage because of many reasons like: 1) They don't really love each other 2) Some of in-laws getting involve with the couples relationship 3) They don't support each others goal. I want to discuss more about the number "3" reason, for a couple they need to support each others goal for them to grow more as a person and not become stagnant because of marriage.

Here is what I think makes for a great marriage... It is a combination of trust, frienship, equality, peace, love, being honest, open and are able to discuss life's issues...The good and bad..I think it is important to have a good chemistry of sorts, so that the "fireworks" will remain. I think it is important to love yourself b4 u can begin to love anyone else. Marriage is a huge step to undertake.. It can also constitute a financial melding of an institution..My advice would be to get married for all the right reasons..In order to stay married, U must be compatable with your mate. u should have many things in common but also be able to become a better person/partner throughout the marriage... There are so many things that make a great marriage...including but not limited to hope, desire, dreams, love, kindness, understanding, tolerance and being a best friend! Best Wishes~
