    Communication, trust, love, mercy, forgiveness... what are the ingredients to a happy marriage in your opinion and how do you strive to keep those qualitites in your marriage ??

    Does this help http//itunes.apple.com/us/album/how-to-find-your-soulmate/id314030971

    From my current experience, don't even mention other women's names.

      Don't approach each other in anger. If your partner starts arguing with you listen, be patient and give sometime before you answer. Usually the anger is spontaneous and things which are later regreated might be said, so its best that one of you keeps quiet and act rationally. Or always take the philosophy 'the women is always right' and there is no argument or problems ;D

      Peace

        If you're a woman and your man gets angry, start crying. They'll feel guilty and stop shouting group

            That works when she does it with me. And I love comforting her.

                that might work with some, but for some reason if I do that my husband thinks I'm trying to put on a show for sympathy? So if I cry I have to do it in private.

                  I'm guilty of that myself. I grew up in a household where the occasional massive fight was as normal as Sunday breakfast. So when my wife and I do argue, if she starts crying, it just screams "drama queen" to me. I have to constantly remind myself that not all women have the cast iron composure my mother and sisters do, and my upbringing was most definitely not the norm.

                  As for maintaining a marriage, I've learned the all important "I'm sorry. I was wrong. You're right." That rarely fails.

                    Well at least you are able to say "I'm sorry. I was wrong. You're right.". I've never heard that from my husband.

                      Hey everybody..first time here sharing my views..i believe that in a marriage trust, love and communication are of utmost importance, but also i believe that similiar religious views are crucial..so atleast two people who live together have a chance to grow spiritually and provide the kids with an environment that is peaceful and loving,with an emphasis on following Gods path.at the end of the day ur spouse is the one u spend most of ur life with..and after God they should be your utmost priority. I come from a shia family but reject almost all of the beliefs.In my opinion Gods word is the only right path, nothing else.Unfortunately the guys i have encountered either have no religious views and arent exactly bothered, or just stick to what their family believes.It is so hard to actually find a partner who has the same beliefs about how to live your life..so evrybody out there who is lucky enuff to have a spouse they love and share life with..congrats! and just know how lucky u all are.

                        That doesnt work with mine, he panics and shouts more, I cry more, he shouts stop crying. He cant handle tears, says it rips his heart out rotfl

                        Works better if hes angry (which actually is incredibly RARE) to not speak to him, then all his anger is forgotten while hes trying to make me laugh )

                          If someone gets angry and yells at me, I get VERY calm. No yelling back, and definitely no crying.

                            I tend to believe that for a successful marriage you should not look for the perfect partner but try to be the perfect partner (but what do I know, I'm divorced)

                                    The most important thing is to have the same values and beliefs. Communication, trust etc. are all things that a couple can develop and is commonly available. Having the same beliefs is very rare though.

                                      thats true..once u meet someone with similiar beliefs its easy to respect love and trust them..and its VERY rare to meet someone with beliefs similiar to ours (
