Good marriages are built on aligned goals : what kind of family you want, the balance between spending now and saving for the future, how you spend your time . Focus finding a partner who is aligned on where you want to go : rest will follow.
To this, consider the services of a skilled relationship therapist before a serious relationship goes bad.
Candidly, they can only do so much to save a relationship, if both people aren't invested in that.
What it will do, if you lean into it, is ensure you introspect and realize mistakes, so you don't make them in your next relationship.
The only thing worse than making mistakes is ignorantly making the same ones over and over again. And in the heat of a troubled relationship, it's far too easy to assign blame to your partner rather than yourself.
