Many have different views about the ingredients that sustains a marriage from destruction. The following are some of the responses received from a recent survey among a group of friends:

--There must be loads of money to spend
--Lady must be beautiful
--The man must be handsome
--The man must be working
--Etc etc

Please readers what do you think sustains a marriage.

communication/sincerity.

To find out more, I suggest you find answers in the book: The Secret of Family Happiness.

Highly recommended.

Quoting from chap. 3 under the heading: ''Two Keys to a Lasting Marriage'', pg. 27 pp. 3 question is: ''What three kinds of love should be cultivated by marriage mates?''
pg. 30; pp. 7, 8-10 : ''What is respect, and who should show respect in marriage?''

''What are some ways that respect will help to make a marriage union stable and happy?''

i think it should be trust, understanding, tolerance and patience on both parts. cos when the novelty of the love fades away and reality sets in, with these attributes, the marriage will be just fine.

TRUST

GOOD COMMUNICATION

RESPECT

GOOD SEX

good communication and good sex

Building the family on a solid foundation which requires love,trust,perseverance,respect.those are the basic things

However, it appears the respondents so far are mostly ladies.
