With regret my wife died only a few years ago. After 33 years of being happily married I was on my own again. Grief took its pathway and I am now ready to move on and have dated again. However, most women I date are divorcees and this has made me take a deeper look into my marriage to figure out why my wife and I had a successful marriage when so many others have not lasted the distance.
When I look into it, I believe that there are many factors which make a successful marriage. Maybe my wife and I were just lucky enough to have all factors stack up in our favour. I would like to share these experiences with those of you who are currently having problems with …show more content…
This is necessary so each has an understanding of what the other is thinking and why. Often if decisions are made without the involvement of the other partner then dissatisfaction and tension may develop. This of course is detrimental to the ongoing relationship.
Love
Love in a successful marriage must be unconditional. There will be times in the marriage when you do not like your spouse for one reason or another. But don 't confuse dislike with loss of love. Don 't confuse behaviour with emotions. It is okay not to like some of your partner 's actions or behaviours, but it is never okay to not love them as a person. Love your partner, always and unconditionally.

It is essential to be your spouse 's best friend, someone with whom you can laugh and cry, someone who is always there for you no matter what. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
Companionship
It is very important that as well as being your best friend, your spouse is your companion. Someone to share the achievements in life no matter how big or small; someone to share the highlights and the sorrows; someone who is always there for you; someone to do things with; someone who cares about you.
Reliability
You must be able to rely on each other in good times and in bad. You each need to come to the helm and be able to do things for each other and hold the fort when necessary. If you can 't rely on each other, then who can you rely on?
Romance
How beautiful are those romantic moments you share together? The touches, the hugs, the kisses, the romantic candlelit dinner, the holiday away from it all. Keep romance alive throughout your marriage. It builds moments of lust and passion and this of course leads to the intimacy of sex.
Sex
Sex is a sharing of the most intimate nature. It is a basic human need and something to be shared, honoured and enjoyed with lust and passion between husband and wife
