A successful relationship
I couldn't help but wonder how come there are many unhappy couples and from other side there are some rare cases of happiness.What is the secret of the successful relationship?
Is it about making many compromises or not telling everything to your partner.
Is it just a good luck or hard work from both sides?
Are men and women so different that they cannot live together ?
I am curious to know your opinions.:)

I don't expect to get the "correct" answer.
I was hoping to read new ideas and to ex-change opinions.
However, some keys to relationship happiness include; choosing someone compatible, not focusing on the small stuff, making time for each other and willingness to be cooperative.
Life changes, people, men and women too. Somehow with time it feels like that they don't know each other any more or they have a wrong image/idea of the other person.
Every person has a hidden side, with years it could get better or worse.
The question is are we able to accept the changes in ourselves and our partner?
Isn't it a serious challenge in each relationship?
"making time for each other and willingness to be cooperative"
I definately agree with it. However it takes patient and persistance from both sides.
Our differences make us unique but at same time it either draws us together or apart. Its about so many things. It helps to be honest because truth eventually will come out.
I work in a LTC facility & you see couples being there for each other...day in & day out & sometimes all day & everyday. I think wow they are...to ne...an example that there is hope for love. They inspire me & remnd me that love isn't easy & that its worth it.
Love is about so many things & the little things do add up! Its about being there for each other...in good & in bad times.

I seek out to find the one who is after love and companionship ,and is happy to be with me even if I am rich or poor
Men and Women can live together forever, if they are willing to give up many things, amongst them there might be even their dreams.
But is it really happiness to be in a "successful relationship" if you will never be able to achieve your dreams?
Basically, two people with these traits need to find each other.
there are hundreds and still more sever compromises one has to made while he/she opt for to live single.
For example whom he/she would be sharing the secrets of one's life for that a person mostly desire naturally ?
As some one said here, maintaining and making partnership for life time i mean marrying is not that difficult or some thing very difficult to make or say is full of compromises only, but instead if the the individuals are sincere and fair enough in communicating it is some thing to enjoy with.
Age is not the end of happiness.
Mutual love,respect,care,understanding and mercy are the bases
of making life happy.
