A successful marriage

Lifestyle Relationships
1

Ladies and gentlemen:

I have learned a lot about a variety of marital problems in this forum. For both, married and unmarried, I would like to ask you this:

In your opinion, what are 10 attritbutes and/or qualities that you would like to see in your spouse in order to have a successful marriage?

It appears to me that most marriages are for the sake of being married without envisioning the challenges ahead.

Best,
Arazi.

Now how does other people's "list" of wants make a difference in your life? You do realize there is no formula for success right?
So pointless.

Whoa dude. U've gotta get ur head peppered with a bit of some optimistic-dust. (like fair-tinkerbell-dust)

c'mon now. Life ain't all that bleak is it. Do read some Ralph Waldo Emerson if u everrrrrrrrrr have the inclination.

To me and also to him success is:

*To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of little children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one self; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived- this is to have succeeded. *

^although I'm not sure if i can endure the torture of befriending little children at the moment. Such headache they give, the best I can do is stuff candies in their cute little pie holes :(

btw, Arazi I will come back to your question. I don't want to make a fat rambling post which says nothing. Lemme give it some thought :)

Re: A successful marriage

Success is all in one's head. If u feel contend ... u will be in peace. Just depends on how much home-work, and energy both hub/wife sincerely wants to invest into that relationship, for I think nothing is impossible if one puts their mind to it, unless u're married to a already-dead-trunk-of-a-tree like person :-)

Just one is enough:
Should be a perfect spouce and should know what a perfect spouce needs to do to get the marriage going.
