What makes a RELATIONship last long?

Starting a relationship is always fun and exciting, but making a relationship last is hard work. Once you’ve gotten settled in your relationship, you have to maintain an honest flow of communication and to continue to cherish your time with your loved one. Making a relationship last isn’t always fun, but the benefits of maintaining a long-term and committed relationship far outweigh the difficulties that you may face......handshake

I guess if love and like are still there then it makes all the hardships worth fighting for....as you say aslong as communication is always open then every problem is halved and therefore easier to get through.
Love and more love Jenny. Okay including but not limited to mindfulness, tolerance and a lot of wrinkled face digesting all the challenges that come with it.teddybear
Lots of communication, and etc
dd
thumbs up


Communicate about anything and everything. Have deep and meaningful conversations once in a while. Discuss what's going on in your lives right now — social life, school life, or family life — and learn about each other's pasts and childhoods makes it work cheering
Well said Hopethumbs up cheers
I agree with Hope but must add another crucial ingredient is to Compromise. Being able to compromise is very important.

Ysabel hello.
You made me think of how my marriage last.
Thought of, ....Distance could help..blushing
I got married to the only man I had in my life . ...a sailor who went sailing for 9 months and with me for 3 months. Our marriage went that way for 15 years. Of course when he went home from work, it was a real...missed each other...to sum up the time we were together maybe it was like Less than 4 years. But those were always sweet moments, we never waste any moments for dramas and the like.
It was because of DISTANCE..Meaning, we need to be far from each other for quite sometimes...always together makes boring...lol
head banger cheering conversing

wave jenlei Thank you for dropping byhandshake
LDRs can work in 2 ways

Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Or
Out of sight, out of mind

If the couple haven't spend a lot of time physically together, there is more chance of the latter being the outcome.

Relationships were never meant to be long distance or virtual.

Real relationships need the people to be with each other in real life. To have regular arguments, regular boring nights in, regular meals together, regular life.
Nothing is regular or normal about LDRs
Hey Mollywave

So true and now I realized couples suffer for this LDRthumbs up hug
So true Ysabel,Good day.
Because of DISTANCE there are lots of broken homes, broken families and kids suffers.
Well each one has different stories.
Hey there ayoneqhug
So sad if I heard families breaking up just because of the same story as almost have.I just home couples realized thatcheers
Keeping our legs spread very wide
rolling on the floor laughing Merce if only we can just do that it would be as easy ....wave cheers
