I do not think his first marriage was a success. The second one prospered probably because of the love and respect he had for his wife.

I would say his selfless love. Reading about how he handled alot of issue regarding the independence I could tell that Dr. Ghoulem would be successful in keeping relationship due to how selfless he was.

I think understanding played a huge role in their marriage, I also think that his wife is a very supportive woman who also helped in making the marriage successful.

I think credit for this should particularly go to his wife. She was very supportive

He valued females. He learned to respect women through his religious convictions, his mother, and his relationship with them. He had therefore undoubtedly loved and respected his wife. Due to his extensive diplomatic activity, he led a hectic life, yet despite this, I believe that his wife felt loved and treasured by her husband. They might have remained married for a long time because of that.

He respected women. With his religious beliefs and also his relationship with his mom led him to respect women. So definitely he had respected his wife as well as loved her. So, even he had a busy life with all of his diplomatic work, I think that his wife felt being loved and cherished by her husband. That could have been the reason for their long term marital relationship

In my opinion, there isn't a specific formula or hidden secret to a successful marriage. Marriage is undoubtedly challenging, filled with potential difficulties, and individuals do their best to navigate through them. In the case of Dr. Berrah, it appears that his loving and compassionate nature towards his wife, coupled with the utmost respect he shows her, plays a significant role in their relationship's strength. Additionally, the positive relationship he shares with his mother could potentially contribute to his overall approach to interpersonal connections, including his marriage.

I think there is no particular secret. I think marriage is hard and full of pitfalls and people do what they can.
In Dr Berrah's case, he seems like a very outwardly loving and compassionate individual to his wife and treats her respectfully and I would think that this would be a huge advantage. It is also great that his mother and he have a great relationship, so this might help in many way.
