Successful marriage? I know one thing and might help...first please put Christ as the center of your relationship...cause if Christ is present in your heart and soul there will be forgiveness, humbleness and understanding will obtain you peace, joy and love b/w the both of you...and you can read the Holy Bible if you have time...just a suggestion my friend and hey Welcome to myLot...

Thanks so much Arnold. I am grateful. That suggestion is so much applicable as I can remember when we used to go to church together regularly, nothing of these sort happened. She stopped and now here we are in problems.

Marriage is not a bed of roses. Marriage is uniting two different people together to be one . The two of you needs to work out your marriage. You need open communication with each other. You have to trust each other. You have to respect each other.

Thanks so much Rakski for that information, but now the problem is that she is not ready for a talk she is even not sleeping our bed room. She is still so upset. I am just confused.

@pmusee Once you know the problem, now you can work on the solution. Love is the key and the solution to every problem. How long have you been married? Do you have any children?

She picked an argument with my mother the other day over a negative post she had posted on her social media over 'mother-in-law'. She posted a very negative post over 'her' mother-in-law, my mother. That's where the problem started.

I am a newlywed but I think there has to be good communication and compromise to make it work. Plus, trust and honesty and being there for each other no matter what.

Have kids, when love in marriage becomes less and less, having kids make marriage stick together, that if you two care about your kids.

I hink now you have a big point. That is something i did not know. We do not have kid(s) yet, she had requested if we could start having in (2) years time. Or might that be a trick perhaps she is not ready for the marriage and that is why she did not want to give me a kid for the last (3) years we have been in the marriage? I am getting more scared.

Always make up after quarrel. Always find one thing to laugh at everyday.

I have read that your mother is interfering with your marriage. A couple must stay alone to be happy. Mothers, or family members who want to stick their nose between a married couple always ruin the marriage.

I am a nurse aide. One day, I asked this very lovely couple who were in their 90s. They were sweethearts since high school, been married after they graduated. I asked them what is their secret to a long and happy married life? The wife responded " it's always 60-60. Why do 50-50 when you can do more?" She meant, if one fell short, the other one has extra to give.
