Honesty and personal space together. Each person needs to feel that they still have freedom within the relationship.

My view is that everyday respect matters more than love. Love can come and go, but respect is what holds a home together. Someone who does not respect their partner in front of family and friends will not build a lasting marriage.

Realistic expectations. Many marriages fail because one person expected a romantic film and found real life instead.
