A friend of mine has an awesome wedding website, which included a poll. One of the questions is listed below. The most common answer surprised me. So, I want to know what you think. I realize this isn't a large pool, but I value the wisdom of you all--especially the several of you who work hard to have strong marriages. (then there are the ones of you who, like me, just think we know) I'd love to hear your answers.
What makes a good marriage? (clearly they all do, I'm assuming the question is really, what is most important)
* Communication
* Trust
* Intimacy
* Lots of chocolate
* Service

Tough choice - they're all so important (especially the chocolate)! I think it depends a little on the way that each spouse feels loved. In my case, I would say service. That's how I tend to show love, and that's how I feel loved. So I'm happiest when we're serving each other and serving other people together.
Your going to hate my answer because its ambiguous. But I think at different times in our marriage each of them have been the most important....how's that for an answer?
I'd say communication - if I had to choose just one :)
Wow, it is a difficult choice. I'd go for service though. When we serve others we cannot help but feel love for them and that love will lead to the other things (hopefully) that are listed, because each is important. Well, maybe not the chocolate....
This is like choosing the most important between faith, hope, and charity. They all spill into each other. I agree with the other comments. They all have been important at different times and it also depends on the person's love language. I can't pick just one!
I think communication.
Thank goodness I majored in that in college!
I would say trust because trust is the basis for the other ones.

All of the above depending on the need at the time.
