What is the secret of a good relationship/marriage ?

A bit vague , my question ?? Mmm, I mean, what does it take to have a great , interesting, interactive, loving, seductive, reassuring relationship ?


I recon I must be fooling myself, just like when your young you believe in fairytales ...Is THE secret Only about compromising ? There's a fine line between ''compromising '' and lying to yourself ... One can only change because He decides too ! No one else can achieve that ...

Though there are so many things that make a good marriage possible, here are my favorite...Know when to say you're sorry, when to shut up, and always say thank you.What is the secret of a good relationship/marriage ?
i am basing this from the greatest marriage i ever saw , the kinda love i never knew existed and the kinda marriage i want .....my grandpa loved my grandma more than ANYTHING , even when she died fighting her 3rd round of cancer , he terribly wished it was him and not her , he slept sitting up for months just so he could hold her hand and she know that he was there , and the moment he left her room she died so he wouldn't see her die . they each took up the others slack , took care of the other when they were sick, and my grandpa when it came to a disagreement he agreed to disagree . he constantly told her how much he loved her and knew she adored roses and he put roses all around the house and and made them grow just for her , their marraige was like when they were young dating each other. i am married and wish my marriage was like theres ... they rarely ever argued ... in all my yrs maybe 2 arguementsif you wanna call it that... i ever heard them have .... marriage is give and take .... and its 100% effort on both parties ..
As a Christian, I believe that putting God first as my number one priority will help me have a successful marriage. I know the wife has to do her part also because when the couple says ';I Do'; to each other, the two are no longer two but one. That means y'all work together as one instead of two. It's like a football team. One player doesn't try to do it by himself. But instead, the whole team gets involved by everyone doing their job like the offensive linemen. They block while the quarterback and running backs do their job as well. The same goes for a married couple. They have to work together. If you have to, you can buy some books on marriage at a Christian book store. Buy one that you believe will be good to read and learn from it. I hope this helped. I wish you the best.
You want a relationship or marriage? These two are totally different.





Relationship is for two people get together to have fun. No attachment, no commitment.





Marriage is for two people get together after they had their fun and now it's time for attachment and commitment and let the 'suffering' begin.
Communication,TRUST %26amp; respect are the keys,to a great marriage..


You have the keys %26amp; practice them every day,everything else will just


fit into the natural order of things,no dramas..


My own feelings on relationships,are they are a compromise,in them selves,because the sworn commitment is not there..Just my opinion..


Hope this answer helps you sort yourself out..
There is no single ';secret';, but when each member of a couple gives a hundred percent to the marriage, that marriage stands a very good chance of lasting a lifetime. None of this ';meet you halfway'; or ';it's a 50-50 proposition'; crap. It's all or nothing, capisce?
Well, the secret about a good marriage is the main purpose when you decided to marry him..


I like to say that married to make our spouse happy is the sweetest thing but it getting difficult after through many years. Always rewind your feeling why you love and choose him/her to be with you,maybe it can bring you to the happy longest marriage.
If I told you then it wouldn't be a secret. First you need to join the Freemasons before I consider letting you in on the ';secret';.

Why do some couples stay happy together for a lifetime, while others are in conflict almost from the beginning?





Part of the answer is compatibility - making the initial choice of a partner with whom you share common values. Equally much, however, depends upon the choices each partner chooses to make during the relationship. Here are seven choices made by happy couples:





1. Trust: Suspicion and jealousy are the death knell of any relationship. If the other is going to cheat or otherwise dishonor the relationship, suspicion and jealousy will not prevent it, and such a relationship is fatally flawed in any case. Unwarranted suspicion and jealousy create misery in a surprising number of relationships. If you want to live happily, trust your partner completely. If they dishonor your trust, deal with the situation then. In the meanwhile, your will have been happy.





2. Open Communication: Tell the truth, tell the whole truth. If you didn't want to share your whole life with your partner, why are you together? If you make a mistake, admit it. If you have doubts, talk about them. Secrets and lies kill a relationship. With truth and openness anything is possible. Even if something is unforgivable, it is better to deal with it quickly.





3. Honoring the other's point-of-view: People disagree, couples disagree. Understanding that the two partners in a couple remain individuals is crucial to a happy relationship. Why would you expect that you and your partner should agree on everything? Honor that one of you is a Republican and the other a Democrat. Honor that one of you is a vegetarian and the other loves a great steak.





4. Self-Confidence: Co-dependence is another frequent cause of failed relationships. Happy couples know that they don't need each other. Each partner is a completely whole and valid individual who has entered into a voluntary partnership. Neither ';owns'; the other, nor ';can't live without'; the other. Each has their own interests and friends, as well as having mutual interests and friends.





5. Generocity: Greed and selfishness kill relationships. True love is generous in spirit. Mostly, generosity is not about material things, although that is also important. To have a happy relationship, be generous of your time, your love, and your attention.





6. Forgiveness: Resentments and thoughts of revenge and vengeance have no place in a happy relationship. Happy couples forgive each other completely for everything the other has ever done or failed to do - no exceptions.





7. Gratitude: Happy couples are continuously grateful for each other. Every day there are a myriad of reasons to be grateful for your partner. Find those reasons each day, and thank your partner every day.
