What are the similarities that two people must share to have a successful marriage?

[Fidelia]

For two people that wish to get married, they have to share some important similarities to have a successful marriage.

1) Financial compatibility.
2) Sexual compatibility.
3) Same ideologies in raising kids.

Which other things do couples have to see alike to have a compatible marriage?

I personally think that both of them share everything and decisions should be mutual. It should not be limited.

Two people that want to get married should agree very well on gender roles. This has always been what causes so many issues in some marriages.

The most important thing is trust. If you do not trust, no matter how similar, you are your relationship will not work

For any marriage to work is all about communication and understanding. You could have a lot of similarities, but this does not guarantee a good marriage alone.

I agree. Getting married is to know how to compromise with the differences. If not, it will be a chaotic situation.

Both of them should be loving and determined to achieve their purpose for the marriage.

The challenge with people coming from digger backgrounds is always how to find a midpoint to understand themselves and accommodate each other.

Couples must be willing to make compromise when it comes to certain areas of their lives. The most important thing is that they both must share the same focus and purpose

 

[Springtime]

I think trust is important in a relationship. Other than that, both should share the same goals in life and work towards that goal. Mutual respect and understanding are also important.

The main similarities that the lovers should be having is being faithfully to one another for the sake of a great relationship.

Couples must be willing to make compromise when it comes to certain areas of their lives. The most important thing is that they both must share the same focus and purpose

Having the same purpose as couples make for easy alignment if goals. When purposes are different, it means that they are traveling different paths.

The level of understanding, accommodation and loyalty should be almost same for the marriage to work out.
