In the world today it is very difficult to keep a relationship going much less a marriage. You have to be strong and committed to the other person. So many people are going through counseling to take charge of their relationships and save them.

Here are the The Top 10 Characteristics of Successful Relationships

1. Friendship - you have to be friends with your significant other
2. Humor - Laugh, laugh at yourself, laugh at each other
3. Communication - Do you get as mad at a friend as you would to your significant other - think about it
4. Chores - just do them and don't fight about it, someone has to do them
5. Reliability - be there for them, be available
6. Affection - Why else are you even with them
7. Fun - have fun, daily routines are so boring, do something you both enjoy
8. Be open, if you are bothered by something the tell them
9. Don't be selfish - every once in awhile suggest doing something that you know you don't like that much but they do
10. Go to dinner - take each other out, it doesn't have to be real fancy, just go out and talk and have fun
