Is love alone sufficient to run a married life

I don't think so. Married life is really full of adjustment during the first few years because the husband and wife came from different families with different way of child upbringing. And this I where most marriage are put to a test at the time they started living together.

It is a common notion that you may not be able to know the real attitudes of a person not unless you both lived together in a shelter for a period of time. And this is where the said adjustment will start for both husband and wife.

Nobody is perfect and sooner or later you will be able to find some defects on your wife and husband. Husband who really loves his wife will find it easy to adjust because love is there and whatever defect is there for his wife that will be fully covered and understood by the presence of love between them.

For a married life to be successful both wife & husband should have love, patience, understanding and respect for each other. So many successful marriages were established out of these requirements. Because without love there is no way you can understand each other later.

Once we marry our beloved wife we are not marrying her just for her good looks alone but rather the whole of her including her parents, brothers, sisters and even relatives. And if love is really there the whole thing will be replaced by love and understanding.

It is not love alone that brings a successful married life. You should put God on the center of your marriage and it is he alone that could help us to live a wonderful married life. And this is where some married couples are failing because they were not able to put God in their married life.

Love is just part of the whole requirements to have a successful married life. Other couples became successful as far as their married life is concerned but there are also couples who were not so lucky to have a good married life. Perhaps this is just part of the life here on this planet and all of us serve as just the plain players.

At the start we need to have that wonderful love thing within us before we can decide to settle down permanently with the woman that we love and courted for a quite a period of time. Nothing is really impossible if we just keep on trying to have a good and wonderful married life under the daily guidance of him up there.

I agree with you that patience, understanding and respect for each other are key elements in a marriage. Leaving each other space to continue being themselves is very important too as it is accepting each other with their good and bad points.
