Tips For The Foundation Of A Successful Marriage.....

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this clip where the ladies of the daytime talk show "The Real" give Adrienne helpful advice/tips for a successful marriage! Marriage is a BEAUTIFUL and REAL type of experience that requires a lot from both parties!!! I agree with the advice that was given. I find that a lot of people who are not married view marriage as SUNSHINE and RAINBOWS.....but forget that it requires HONESTY, COMMUNICATION, LOYALTY ,COMMITMENT, and SELF AWARENESS!!!! As I always say, I think that marriage is a BEAUTIFUL thing however it is not always a FAIRYTALE!!! Both parties have to be ready to SACRIFICE, COMPROMISE, SHARE, LISTEN TO ONE ANOTHER'S NEEDS, and BE WILLING TO HAVE THE DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS WITH ONE ANOTHER. I also believe that it is SO VERY IMPORTANT to marry the RIGHT PERSON!!!! 

I do not have ALL OF THE RIGHT ANSWERS as I have only been married for two years. However, I wanted to share what I have learned and assessed thus far!!

What are your thoughts on what is needed in order to have a successful marriage?
