So many broken homes,broken hearts and shattered dreams.Many lived in The fairy tale world until they came face to face with the harsh realities of the marriage institution.The havocs in so many marriages call for urgent attention on the part of the Romeos and Juliets who are yet to tie the knot.What are the true virtues for a  successful marriage?

Righteousness

DO UNTO YOUR SPOUSE AS YOU WOULD HAVE HER/HIM DO UNTO YOU.

But there are no perfect human on earth, we only have humans with perfect intentions.

@poster
it all depends on what your idea of a successful marriage is:

- if you think that a wife who will do and execute as she is told is a successful marriage then OBEDIENCE will be the virtue needed.
- if you think that a wife who is not afraid to tell her husband anything IS a successful marriage then HONESTY will be the virtue needed.
- if you think that a wife who lets her husband go clubbing with his mates is a successful marriage then TRUST will be the virtue needed.
- if you think that a wife who can stay faithful for yrs while you work abroad is a successful marriage then FIDELITY will be the virtue needed.
-if you think that a wife who give all her money to husband is a successful marriage then GENEROSITY is what you are looking for.(beware, some can view that as the virtue of STUPIDITY)

the list is endless but you surely catch my drift. lol!

What are the true virtues for a  successful marriage?

Love
Commitment
Trust
Understanding
Sincerity
Cooperation
Communication

etc

Love is the greatest of all end of.

Onchedu:

Righteousness

YES! With TOTAL TOLERANCE

Mutual respect, Openness and Communication

Love

Tolerance

Trust

Understanding

-LOVE
-TOLERANCE
-PATIENCE
-UNDERSTANDING
-FAITHFULNESS
-HONESTY

It all boils down to these two:"TOLERANCE and PATIENCE".
It is not lack of love that makes marriages to collapse nor is it unfaithfulness. Rather, it is couples that are tolerant and patient that reap the fruit called success in marriage.

GREAT!, & above all,there must be "LOVE & UNITY" without which,Obedience, honesty,trust, fidelity,generosity,etc will never be possible.

the answer is relative to person(s).mt is respect.

Mutual respect. If there is anything you do not want done to you then do not do it to your spouse. Do not take each other for granted. There is nothing like woman's work or man's work. If your husband is having a hectic month at work and the grass needs mowing then get the mower out there and mow (I will personally just pay someone to do it LOL). If your wife does not feel like cooking dinner then you cook it or round up your wife and kids and go eat out. Marriage is give and take not TAKE TAKE TAKE. Selfishness has no place in a marriage. It is not about YOU. It is about the family unit

HI u always talk about mariage, re u married

Lots of sex

Marry a like minded man/woman.

what is marriage?

Simply put, it is two forgivers living together as one. End of Story,

To add to the list.

Conflict Resolution ---- The couples must avoid involving third party during conflicts/differences and learn to resolve them on their own.

Just 3 words: Trust, Tolerance & Love Q.E.D

@top-kin WORD.

You just read ma mind, that is the key point.

The  most important quality for a successful marriage is selflessness.
Most of the issues that create problems arise out of each party wanting to advance its own interest.
When both partners are ready to think of their own interests less, and their partner's interest more, success is more certain.

THE G-FACTOR(GOD)
MONEY
GOOD INTIMACY.
Every other thing can come behind.
Before u disagree with me, the 3 above are a common denominator for all of us, black, white or yellow.

i think communication is the key,once u and your spouse are able to talk through issues,then your marriage is secure. A lot of relationships die because partners would rather keep malice or give each other the silent treatment, than communicate really very sad, im presently going through the silent treatment phase now and im beginning to wonder if he really is the one,thankfully we aren't married yet,so, anything can still happen
