1. Honesty
2. Trust
3. Tolerance

These are the 3 most important ingredients in sustaining a healthy marriage.

Honesty: We must be honest with our partner in order to maintain a healthy relationship that is not based on suspicion.

Trust: Again we must learn to trust our partner, we cannot keep on suspecting them having affairs or cheating on us. Communicate more and gain the trust.

Tolerance: Sometimes, things they do might be against what we like but then again, we must learn to accept what they like and let them do it their way or else we will be very bossy and they hate it..

Hey, Funky girl. My mother has been married three times. My father who I haven't seen in over 25 years is on his fourth. Go ahead and give it a try.

1) A man

2) Another man, or a woman. Possibly a cat.

3) Complete connection. There needs to be a shared recognition and understanding that one's partner is a spiritual being, and in fact, is the SAME spiritual being as oneself. Acknowledging ultimate oneness, in other words. Once that place has been glimpsed together even once, pretty much everything else that transpires becomes a sitcom or a soap opera, all based in pretending we're not who we are. In my marriage, only one of us has to remember the truth, and it's usually my wife, who can generally turn an argument into comedy on a dime, completely defusing my "position" that I still maintain I was right about! Argh@*!!

My wife pointed out that my syllogism above inadvertently left out lesbian couples. Sorry, I meant to be inclusive of all unions.
