There are millions of articles telling you about marriage counseling, but very few articles tell you how to have a successful marriage. Sure you can fix it after marriage problems arise, but wouldn't it be nice to know the things that make for a successful marriage? Well, having a successful marriage is as simple as knowing your ABC'S.
A- One thing that you need for a successful marriage is to ALWAYS treat one another with respect. Although you may hear that love is the foundation for every marriage, there can not be a feeling of love, without a feeling of respect for each other. When there is no respect in the marriage you will find that there will be a lack of communication and therefore a breakdown in the marriage relationship that you are trying to build up.
B- Have you ever looked at an elderly married couple and wonder how they have dealt with each other for so long? The answer is simple, they are each others BEST friend.

When you and your spouse are each others best friend you have the main ingredient for a long lasting, healthy marriage.
C- Always be willing to CARRY your spouse up the difficult hills of life, as well as being willing to allow your spouse to carry your at your times of need. Everyone faces a personal tragedy in their life and during those times it is important to have someone that is strong for them.
