Answer 6

looking at how my parents have had so many difficulties in their marriage:

tolerance, flexibilty (my dad makes my mum's life quite hard as he is a pretty strict shia and she is a sunni), respect, trust, understanding, keeping personal matters private, support and sacrifice.

i hope everyone's marriage is well, and to all the youngsters here, including me, insha'allah we will all get our perfect marriage partners with a long, happy marital life.

Answer 7

I think it's important to be friends.

Not just maintain a 'husband-wife'

relationship, but to share happiness

and sadness, to accept the good with

the bad, to understand, commit,

respect and love...and to have faith

in each others love.

Realising that u r with ur soul mate.

Respect ! Always respect eachother !i

Answer 10

Friendship in marriage is also important,

when couples divorce it's not only because of lack of love for each other, but lack of friendship with each other!

Hope that helps..

Answer 11

don't dwell on the small things they add up and cause more stress and anger than necessary which can lead to a divorce. i got married when i was 18 and my husband was 20, we use to bug each other all the time over insignificant things, three years into our marriage and now with a 16 month old daughter, we realize what the important things are. Inshallah the right man will be sent your way in time
