Nowadays, it is not easy to find a successful marriage. It needs effort from both sides to make a marriage happy and successful one. Basic recipe of a happy marriage will definitely be love, respect, faith, sacrifices and good communication between the two people sharing a life as husband and wife.
Lets talk about respect in a marriage. Respect has been known as the key to a successful marriage. Respect each other. Treat our spouse the way we want to be treated. It is never about one person, it is about two. A great way to show respect is to be honest and faithful.
Faith has always been an important part of most of our life, from childhood to being an adult. It has given us a strong sense of who we are. Naturally we wanted someone who felt the same sense of self, as we did, in religion.

Be ever ready to trust & sacrifice for the good of the marriage. Most importantly be ready to sacrifice your time, your pleasures and be willing to accept things and habits that will never change in your partner. Be a believer that love change and develop to all good things. So work your marriage towards that and it will grow healthily and happily. Give trust at 100% to your partner and be honest all the time and trust everything will be fine.
A good communication makes a successful marriage. Start easily with being a good listener. Listen with your heart and when it is time to talk things, talk lovingly and sensibly. Never ever bring up the past mistakes and always be ready to admit or to forgive. Communication is a space for both to share sentiments and ideas. Let out your hopes and fears with your partner to make your marriage more workable in the midst of your busy daily lives.
Above all, love is the most important essence in a happy, successful marriage. Rekindle your love everyday like the first time you fell in love. In conclusion, trust, effective communication, and forgiveness are the keys for a happy, healthy marriage.
