advice on lasting relationship

Hmm. trust issues. Then I guess you have to work on that premise first. I was with my boyfriend of eight and a half years before we got married. In those years, we fought almost everyday. About petty things, time, trust.You name it. We had a cool off for about 3 months and then we talked about everything. We layed everything down on the table. We were able to reach compromises and all that. We also went to a retreat for couples. We have now been married for 4 years (this December) and though we still fight, the trust issues have been addressed and we know now better how to handle our petty quarrels. During major fights, we also know how to face it head on and still keep a straight mind. LOL! Remember this, if you two are meant to be together, God will find a way for both of you to stay together. Of course you have to work on it too. Talk. Then you'll know where your relationship is heading. Goodluck!

i guess your right about this trust issue, people specially partners or even friend tend to be on the distant if trust is broken, however you can fix this situation by winning it again..perhaps you dont do some fixing thats why it takes years for both of you to be in this kind of cold situation..i may suggest to fix thes things out and friend take good care of your family and avoid those activities that somehow gives something of a negative and suspicious thought for your partner against you, otherwise theres no reason to fix things out if you continue to violate her trust..
