1/3 ration and a beating a day!

Dunno, but I'm very glad to be in one (I think (so far so good))!!

Things that might help
(1) similar approach to money: spending, saving, vacations, possessions, etc.
(2) Kids and a similar approach to child raising.
(3) Get along with each other's families.
(4) Willingness to give each other space at times.

My wife & I also have a fair amount of overlap in the books & movies we like. Not 100% by any means, but there are plenty of things we can enjoy together.

My father, now passed; kept his vows for 31 years.

My mom plans to keep hers till they meet again someday.

Short lives.

Respect and not taking much for granted. Looking at it as a partnership with a roommate, complementing and helping each other, rather than ownership.

Ehhh... Idk, maybe the fact that I'm so glad when he's at work all day!

Determination

Hard work at it 100% on a daily basis!

Love, respect and remembering that your partner is a person in their own right.

I heard one man say it was having seperate tv sets

Empathy and compromise... With a big dash of love

Mutual love, trust, forgiveness, patience, shared values

Polyandry

Faith and fate.

I don't know. I never got to that either time.

I honestly don't know anymore...

Truth and trust but dont expect that anymore

hard work diplomacy, and patience

Early unexpected death?

In-law shotguns?

Heck if I know I am on my second divorce!!

An early death

High tolerance or love

Lack of divorce, mostly

A shotgun! BOOM!

Both people have to work at it.

Butt secks? It's spiritual!

Death.
