do you know what makes a relationship lasts longer????

I think as long as you keep passion in your relationship it will last. Having passion for someone keeps you wanting to do and please the the person your with. Which makes for a happier relationship. To me a relationship lacking passion will be short lived.

As far as my opinion is concern. For a longer relationship the two partners should be respect to each other and most of all the two partners should have fear of God. If you have faith in God, and obedient to him. I don't think you can create doubt and sin to your partner. This is the best part of a relationship to stay longer..

hello there! i agree with you that love and trust is important for a relationship to last long...but i can also say that respect and understanding can also do a lot, acceptance and forgiving. i have been in this relationship and my husband and i are 5 years bf/gf before we get married and now we are 5 years married...so we have a 10 year old relationship already and it still going strong and stronger everyday... those years we spend with each other are not all happy moments...there's so many trials that came in our relationship especially when we are not yet married! our relationship was put into trial many times, and in all those trials and problems we encounter...forgiveness, love and respect and trust with the God keeps our relationship alive! when we are in this very hurting trial...i lost my trust on him, but my love is still there...so i accept him and forgive him on whatever he does and i pray to God to help me in this...it takes me a long time before i totally forgiven him, and bring my trust back...but i saw her sincerity and his sacrifices just to bring my trust back...and so we ended up marrying each other... so with all those things that happens to me...i can really say that love and God's guidance and forgiveness in our heart and sincerity and some sacrifices...keeps our love alive and stays long!

Trust and Communication. My man and I trust each other, and agreed early on in the relationship to never ever accuse the other of cheating, with the agreement, that if either of us did cheat, we would tell the other before we did it. And there is nothing that we don't talk about. If he says something that upsets me (which happens cause I am pregnant and hormonal), I don't stew over it, we talk about it. We have been together for a long time, and because of the communtication we have, I can honestly say that we don't fight, ever. Get frustrated from time to time, yes, and we agree to disagree at times. We have never shouted at each other, and never go to bed mad. We also, as a third thing, do not try to change each other. Nothing. We fell in love with each other, the way we were, and so that is how we will stay.

For me, I think respect is the key to lasting relationship. We must always respect each other and never take each other for granted. No matter how long we have been into the relationship, always treat it like it is our first day together. That way, we can keep it fresh and alive. Love each other unconditionally and always trust and respect your partner. Love each other like it is your last day on earth.

For a relationship to last there are a few basic requirements. The rapidity with which relationships are breaking in the modern days is a matter of concern and we should try to find out how to make a relationship that lasts for a long time. The major factors that affect the survival of a relationship are as below : Selesction of partner, sometimes our selection of partner may be wrong. We may have nothing in common and our values and goals may be very different. With bad selection from the beginning, no relationship can survive for long. One of the main reasons of erong partner selection may be hury in selection of partner and inattention to the true nature of the selected partner. Communication, bad communication is another reason for break ups. PArtners are unable to tell about true feelings to each other for many reasons including fear of conflict. Sometimes, non verbal communication is made which fails in sending the message. Sustaining relationships is difficult It gives joy, but demand lot of efforts. Relationship is no solution to all our life problems. Sometimes it creates its own problems. For a relationship that lasts, we have to take care of all the aspects of the relationship.

communication is one factor that makes relationship lasts. and of course we have to respect each other. i am three years married with my husband, i trust him and i think he do the same.

Faithfulness and Honesty. Cheating is the number one problem couples all over the world face. perhaps if couples will stick to each other and remain faithful, the relationship would last longer. but it should not be just faithfulness. there should also be honesty. if you're falling out of love, tell your partner and don't make a fool out of her. if you cannot remain faithful because you're falling for someone else, am sure your partner will understand only if you'll be honest and open to talk about it.love is really complicated and only a few people experience everlasting love.that's what i think.

Hello friend, Welcome to MyLot community. Please upload a picture if you can. Coming to the topic, trust is the word that drives a relationship. Once it goes out then suspicion sets in,especially in today's world, where long distance relationships are common because we all have to move from one city to another for work,education,etc.

in order to have a long term relationship, couples should value LOVE, TRUST, RESPECT, and most of all APPRECIATION. ;)

as with what others have responded: love, trust, sincerity/honesty, commitment, compromise, loyalty, etc. etc. the list goes on. there are so many things that can make a relationship last long. as with your other question, you CANNOT know how long a relationship will last. the least a person can do is do what he/she can to make it last. of course it won't last if the effort comes from one person only, it should come from both of them. they should be open with each other but at the same time, still respect each others' privacy. be selfless but at the same time still love their own selves. don't be a martyr. remember that you still have your own life to live. also, don't underestimate the power of those little things that make you happy. because most couples when they're in a relationship for too long, they forget those things. be each others' support. an lastly, it isn't enough that you are boyfriend/girlfriend. you should be each others' best friend, brother/sister, drinking buddy, etc. :)

Love is beautiful..but how can make it last forever? Relationship starts from love and trust...that is true i guess.. Sometimes relationship can destroy by mistrust and then love must be gone after that..what a wasting time we are.. So if you really want your realtionship is good last longer..dont forget to love and trust each other..always make good communication or discussions..to warm your love... Believe it...your relationship will be last longer..have a nice relationship to you..:)

There a lot of things to consider but let me sum it up..first, Love - your feelings for each other. Then Trust - how they feel comfortable and confident with each other. then, courtship - should always have spicy in your lives even though your together now. that's about it but even so i know there's many more.

In any relationship, I believe what is most important is the respect given to each other. When we respect a person, we acknowledge his/her uniqueness. When we do this, we accept him/her with all our heart. Then springs the virtue of trust, justice, committment, understanding and love. My parents are our greatest examples when it comes to handling relationships. Despite the difficulties my parents faced for rearing 7 children, the respect they have for each other remained intact; thus, we have a solid family and share a solid bond. Such great respect I learned from my family has enabled me to keep a wonderful relationship with my boyfriend who will soon to be my husband. I respect him so much that I do not want to hurt him and just keep loving him. So that's it, for me , the most vital ingredient to every successful relationship is a genuine respect for each other. Thank you.

Question: how long will your relationship lasts??? Answer: Forever. be fair enough with your partners I don't believe in fairness in a relationship. There must be some difference. If you are ready to loose then it would be fair to the other. And if the other does the same then it would be fair for me.

Hi, friend. The only thing required, as i think, is true love. As you love anybody as yourself (but selflessly), all goodness automatically flows into your relationship with the person. The requirement is true love from both sides. Happy Mylotting!!

For my personal relationship, communication has been the key. Also, we both know how to respect each others opinion when we disagree. And the best solution for that has been to agree to disagree.

Two people fell in love because of a kind of wonderful feelings.some scientists thought it was a common reaction to the hormone.but in my opinion,the lovers must have something in common,such as similar hobbies,same goals,ect.on the other hand,the couple must believe in each other.belief is the basis of communication between people.

In my opinion, sincerity, open communication, trust, and believing in your relationship are the key ingredients to make a relationship last longer. Sincerity may be manifested wherein you would stick to the person and not cheat on him/her. Open communication is essential because whenever there is a problem, both of you are open to air out whatever is the problem and how both of you could solve it. The goal of this is for both of you to achieve a win-win situation, wherein the two of you are able to achieve the same goals and that both of you are satisfied and happy. Trust is the most important since if both of you lack trust, then you would always think that your lover is cheating on you and this is one thing that could create conflicts among couples. Both couple should believe in their relationship that it would work out and whatever the problem may be, both should think that they may surpass whatever trial that comes their way. Also, one should give a chance for a partner to express whatever he or she is feeling and don't make your partner feel inferior and treat him as someone important. I think, you should also spice things in your relationship and not just do the same things over and over again which makes a relationship boring. The man should not treat the woman as a subordinate but as an equal.

In a relationship you have to be able to trust each other which is the key to a long-lasting and stronger relationship. For me I have had the experience where my trust for my spouse has broken, however I love him so much and I did'nt wanted to lose him so I for give him since it was his first time for the past five (5) years, but the trust took some time to build back up. I am sure that other relationship would have seperate. But as couples you must be able to forgive and work with each other in order for your relationship to last because no man is perfect and we all do make mistakes. In concluding you must love and trust each other and as young people we must be active in our relationship to keep the love strong.
