I appreciate your question.
The answer of what makes a "good marriage" are as varied as there are marriages.
Basically, similarity, like mindedness in beliefs and values, makes a good marriage.
The best chance of getting along with someone on a longterm basis is when two people see life and the world in similar ways.
Even though "opposites attract" this is a short lived dynamic which breaks apart when there aren't enough similarities in common between the partners.

If you are currently feeling suicidal or are in crisis, call 911 or proceed to your local emergency room.
