I’ve been married for 5 1/2 years, but been with my hubby for over 7 years. We have our share of problems.

1.I think trust is #1, if you don’t have trust you have nothing.

Essence couple Cleveland and Maya live 6 hours away from each other but have been together for 11 yrs. Now thats trust

2.Communication is a big one.

Essence couple Irvin and Dewain say they can talk about everything.

3.I like knowing that someone cares more than just about themselves. A Giver

Essence couple Andre says fiancée Genine is more caring about others and that was attracted him.
