To find an indispensable friend in a partner is a blessing. Friendship paves ways where one can share their unfiltered feelings,dreams,inhibitions and failures with their partner, with the belief that they will be understood and respected by eachother.One of the foremost things in any relationship is respect.Once married life is not about just 2 ppl,the process of give and take with regard to respect can define the surviving value of a relationship.Partners respecting each other and their families and making efforts to sustain a bridge between the 2 is a vital point in any relation. Encouragment,inspiration,putting eachother as a priority,humor,understanding,complimenting,appreciating,communication & trust are what will stand the test of time.i would say both partners should be humble and deeply understanding, and must never hesitate to take the initiative to solve a problem.They should be such that they can depend on each without any second thought in moments of crisis and difficulty.
