Here are some keys to successful marriage, that can be easily implemented to keep your love and romance alive:

• Commitment

When two people both give full commitment to their marriage, you have a strong bond that is going to guarantee flexibility and ability to cope with marital crisis and problems. 

• Compromise

A marriage will demand a lot of compromise from both spouses. Be ready to compromise to make your partner happy. Be fair, only ask as much as you would give and always be sensitive of the other person’s feelings. Adjust and compromise should be a two way road – valid for both spouses.

• Maintain Your Individuality and Space

Do not bend backward to accommodate your partner. Be yourself.Sooner or later you would resent it and will find it difficult to continue. Each spouse should be able to be themselves without any pretense. Many married people feel trapped after their marriage. If this is not tackled in time, it often leads to deep disturbance and even divorce. The solution is to allow each other some space for personal development. A little time away from each other sweetens the relationship. If it is not made possible it becomes suffocating.

• Choose the Right Partner

One of the most important keys to a successful marriage is to carefully and prayerfully choose the person you will spend the rest of your life with. The quality of a finished product is dependent on the quality of the raw material. So the success of your marriage depends on your choice of life partner.

• Be Willing to Say “I’m sorry”

Be willing to admit it when you’re wrong and apologize. “I’m sorry” can save a lot of trouble.

• Be willing to Forgive

Sometimes it’s hard to forgive when you have been wronged by your spouse. Try to forgive your partner and rebuild your relationship.

• How You Say “Hello” and “Goodbye”

One of the most important and most overlooked interaction that most couples experience takes place when they are parting (going on a trip, going to work etc) and reuniting (getting back from work, returning from a trip etc). Most partners pass through this time by saying “See you later” or “I may be late” and head for the door.

• Children

Support each other in the disciplining of the children. As parents you need to present a united front for your children. Failure to do
