Tips On How To Have Sucessful Marriage?

Hi Nairalander,
A friend of mine is getting married. So i decided 2 do a reasearch on how to have a sucessful married life based on people's experience & opinion.
I'd appreciate it if u can provide tips on how 2 make one's marriage a sucess.

I no this is hard but you have to be wellcoming  and RESPECT your in-laws.

First of all, tell your friend NOT to take advice from blogging sites and 'other peoples experiences'.
No two people in this life have the same path to take and so on something like marriage, you can only open you ears but not take in all you hear.

I dont know who taught you that thing youre saying, but if you think thats how to have a 'happy marriage' then youre sooo wrong. Men need to be challenged and being 'submissive' to your husband means youre simply laying your bed for future unhappiness and eventually a lousy marriage.
As a married couple, you are to encourage eachother to grow, and men need a strong hand from when theyre children until they die.

It is a womans job to encourage her man to be the best he can be. When you 'submit' and not question his actions and rubbish behaviour, youre simply allowing his bad sides flourish and you raise a tyrant thats wrong. The man wont be happy with the person he becomes and he will later resent you for not challenging him enough. Ive seen many marriages where women 'submit ' to their men and it always ends with the man hating the woman for not being strong . Men need to be checked constantly and it is the wifes place to do that.
You must  respect your husband, but that submission talk is just wack!

And so is it alright for the man not to respect his inlaws? or what do you mean by 'especially on your husbands side'? The man also has the duty to respect his wifes family. Marriage is a two way street. The woman is not the only one who has rules to follow.
