@FU_joehudson - After many years of working with couples, these are the 3

After many years of working with couples, these are the 3 leading indicators it will last: 1 Marriage as a mirror: Both partners see the relationship and its challenges as a reflection first and foremost of their relationship with themselves 2 Growth together: Both partners are committed to their self-development and support each other’s growth (without wanting to fix or change the other) 3 No shame games: Both partners recognize that their resentment is a form of self-abandonment (instead of blaming each other for their unhappiness) If the above three are true, then the relationship will work.
