My longest relationship was about 4 years and she was my schoolmate in college way back then. There are really certain things that makes a relationship last long and even last for a lifetime. Basically, it will depend on both of you. It will rely on how you will keep the fire burning.:) The longer it takes, the most likely you could no longer feel excitement in a relationship, but again it will depend on how you make it as if its a new one! The best thing about in a relationship is that you have someone to talk to when you're down aside from friends and family. Also, it inspires you in your everyday work. Lastly, your partner will be the best person that you can share your laughter and sorrows with.

The longest relationship I have been in is the one I am in now. It's been 9 years. I have been with my husband since I was 14. We got married shortly before I turned 20.

Hi sisco. My longest has been 5 years. I don't think 5 years is really a long time considering there have been people married for 20 and 30...sometimes longer. I have this thing in which every 5 years my life changes dramatically in one way or another...kind of weird really but what do you do? lol

Is it mates that you are talking about sisco?.. The best thing for a relationship is that we could share something we love or like more deeply. I have been 2 years in a relationship with my wife before i marry her and that was a great time in my life until now.

I am in the relationship with the guy that I met when I was only 14. At the age of 15 he and I started dating and now at the age of 35 we are about to watch our oldest child graduate high school. We had him when we were just children ourselves and now he has grown to be a delightful young man. It hasn't been easy but we have outlasted many of our friends. The best thing about being in a relationship is having someone to talk to at the end of a long hard day. And especially when it is someone that can understand what it is that you are going through.

I have been in a relationship for more than fifteen years. It is my marriage now with my one and only husband. Our relationship started when I worked part time at a chicken outlet while I was studying in university. At that time my age was 19 and I went to work with my friend also from university. At the same time, my husband was also working there taking part time. One day my friend was involved in an accident and was hospitalized. That was the beginning of my relationship with my husband. Because I didn't have a friend to go home from work, he volunteered to send me back every night. In this relationship, we have fought a lot. Life is not always rosy and beautiful. After marriage, there are a lot of his attitudes that I could not understand and it took me so many painful years to slowly learn to understand and forgive him for what he did and said to me. Now, I am beginning to know him not because I am a slow learner but because at last I succeeded to make him realize that marriage is a two way relationship and he has to open up and communicate with me. All these years he had bottled up all of his emotions for stupid reasons and I personally feel it is really dumb to do just that. To me, in a marriage or any relationship communication is the most important thing or else the relationship could not go further in a healthy way. Now I am happier and he is more tolerate and more understanding.

The longest relationship that I've ever head is the one I'm in now. We have been together for five years now and we're still going strong. We met in high school actually and are still going strong. In our relationship, and in any relationship, trust is a must. You need trust to build a good relationship. I personally love that I have someone there to go to when I just need a cuddle or have someone to talk to. They brighten my day when nothing else can, sooth tired nerves, and sooth my fears when I have them. I love the emotional support they offer me in general and the physical as well.

By Gods grace, I have been happily married for 21 years and have a wonderful son to prove it. I guess thats long enough. Being in a relationship with a person who loves and understands you and whome you reciprocate, life can be pretty easy. Im not saying we dont fight, but we dont bear grudges. We forget and start talking again. We are there for each other in times of joy and sorrow. When I fractured my knee last year, he was there besides me, tending to me. We have had our ups and downs but the main thing in a relationship is understanding. Wish you all the joy and an understanding partner in life. THAT MEANS U TOO MUST BE UNDERSTANDING .

I'm probably not supposed to answer this question because the longest relationship I've been in has been for 8 months, and even that seemed like a long time. I rationalize that it ended because it simply wasn't meant to be, but we probably could have made it work if we tried hard enough. I don't know if our personalities just clashed too much or if it was the little things: dishonesty, him being kind of a jerk, being too demanding/controlling, and so on (I could probably go on for hours). I met him through a mutual friend (that I'm no longer friends with.. go figure). He was exciting to be around - and spontaneous - and I was so happy to finally have a long-term boyfriend (because I hadn't had one before, and I had been so jealous of hearing about my friends talking about theirs and such!) but it just wasn't meant to work out for the long run, and it didn't. The best thing about it was always having standing-arrangement plans; and never having to worry about what I was going to do next weekend.

My longest relationship was a little less than 4 years. I am not sure how it made it that long but it did. We lived together since the first week of our relationship (something i dont recommend) and in my opinion I became comfortable of the situation and I think that is why I never did anything else. We used to live in north Florida then his family lived in Miami and he wanted to move there. The only reason I did because I thought it would be better but I was wrong. Also, I don't recommened living with parents. I believe the best thing about being in a relationship is having it progress into something. Like the feeling you get when you say goodnight to the person and not knowing when your going to see them again. Honesty,trust, and communication also play a major role in having a relationship succeed.
