Any successful relationship must be rooted in love. However, love is not enough. Love brings bliss in the early stages of relationships, but it only grows and blossoms if it is tempered with this one special quality.

There is no recipe or secret to making a marriage last, there are however some key indicators that you may be on the right track.
