Physical acceptance of one's partner is a prerequisite for a happy marriage.

Пасибо всем!
"An important condition of happy marriage is to be a physically accepted by one's partner!"
That doesn't exactly work. There is a missing noun.
Is to be a physically accepted "match" perhaps
but even then it sounds extremely awkward and I'd rather just recommend that such a combination of adverbs, past passive verbs, and nouns be avoided.

Pah, that still sounds wrong, there are a number of grammatical mistakes:
An important condition for a happy marriage is to be phyiscally accepted by one's partner.
There weren't any mistakes other than the superfluous 'a' that I omitted to remove.Quote:

As for "a happy marriage" or simply "happy marriage", it just depends on how you read it. I think omitting the 'a' makes it sounds more conceptual, whereas using it makes the sentence a simpler statement of fact. I think it works either way.
