about

After a while you learn the subtle
difference between holding a hand and
chaining a soul, And you learn that
love doesnt mean leaning and company
doesnt mean security, And you begin to
learn that kisses arent contracts and
presents arent promises, And you
begin to accept your defeats with your
head up and your eyes open, with the
grace of an adult, not the grief of a
child And you learn to build all your
roads on today because tomorrows ground
is too uncertain for plans. After a while
you learn that even sunshine burns
if you get too much.
So plant your garden and decorate your
own soul, instead of waiting for someone
to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really are strong,
And you really do have worth.

What do you think is the most important? Compatibility? Understanding? Love? Destiny? Something else?

Everyone has their own views and concepts on what should be considered to make a marriage/relationship work. As for myself, RESPECT is at the topmost because when you and your partner regard each other with respect, you would be able to understand each other easily and can reach a compromise on anything whenever you would have a misunderstanding. ACCEPTANCE, LOVE and FRIENDSHIP are also essential elements on making a marriage work. Even if a marriage is made in heaven, we are responsible to maintain it and that's not an easy task. A couple ought to love each other as their own bodies. Because of the unity which exists in a marriage, whatever one does directly benefits the partner also helps the other.

To make a marriage work, couples should:
- Have the same goals;
- Be good friends, a sense of being very connected to each other;
- Do the same things and enjoy being together;
- Not be dependent on each other and know how to give each other space;
- Not hold resentments, get things off your chests and talk about it.
