How to keep the love last for a lifetime?

To have a long lasting love does take a lot of work. I believe it is takes falling in love every day with your partner. Then there is trust and communication. Without these then there is no relationship. I have a little book with quotes. I remember some of them that have inspired me. One is, love is like a fire. You need to attend to it to keep it burning hot. Another one is love is like an empty box. To get some thing out of it, you have to put something into it. There is a reading in the bible that I do love as well which does inspire me. The passage is corrinthians 1 chapter 13. If you have your hand on a bible then have a read of it. It talks about love. I have been with my partner for between 16 and 17 years. Married for 15 years next month. I love my partner with all my heart. I talk to him and I trust him. I do pray that I will spend many more years celebrating my wedding anniversary with my man because I love him.

I completely and absolutely disagree. I think when you enter into a relationship your first task is to see if you're compatible in the first place. I absolutely do not agree with just jumping into expecting "forever" to manifest out of nothing. Once you have figured out whether or not you are compatible with this person, then it's time to move on to thinking about whether you should be with them or not. If not then you break up and move on. If so, then you TALK to them about what your life together should be. I for one absolutely do not believe a relationship should ever be about doing ONLY what pleases your partner. YOU are important too and there is absolutely nothing wrong with making sure SURE find happiness yourself. You should both be happy with each other simply being yourselves. If you're not then you need to find another relationship.

I think that the trick is for both partners to wake up each day and decide to make life a little happier and easier for the other person even if it means just doing one little thing for their loved one. I know that when my husband does little sweet things for me they are the times I store away in my memory. Talking is so important too, without communication it is too easy to eventually drift apart. If both parties commit and decide that neither is ever going anywhere that is the best start especially during the tough times.

You may call me an idealist but I believe that a love could really last for a lifetime. What the relationship needs is God's blessings. If both parties fear God, they would know that what they have is a gift that not many people get. So in understanding this, both would have to care much not to lose what they have. Both then would work hard to understand each other, their quirks, and differences should be resolved and not be left hanging. Commitment to one another should remain. Other ingredients include respect, trust and forgiveness. Most of all, they must keep on loving each other. "LOVE" is an action word that each partner should not get tired of doing. That's a very nice question.

I have a very long love path. Time to time I used different kind of technique to bind that man with me. But the technique which I use now works well: I terribly need that man not only as my lover but, also the father of my two children. As I need him not only as my lover but also a perfect father and a happy family member I use some techniques as you told. 1. I make him happy with all the possible ways, all the time. 2. I never do anything that doesn't like (in front of him). But If i find any thing right in the view of God, the things which he doesn't like I do them when he is absent. No one can stop me doing them. In long run he understands that I do so and accepts it.

Here are just some random thoughts on making love last a lifetime: Say I love you often, Say I am sorry, Say I forgive you, Make your spouse a priority. Kids will move out eventually, Have a time just for the two of you at least once a week. Talk about shared memories, Say something nice everyday, Brag about your spouse to your friends when you spouse can hear you, Focus on the positive, Compliment one another. Be happy with the small things and go a little extra for your spouse. Years ahead is better when it is shared with someone you love, and who cares the same about you..

I think mostly it takes the choice to do so. Also I would add to your very good list, that if a dispute arises and becomes a vicious circle of contention, one person dropping their end of the dispute will break the circle/cycle. This is hard for many to do, due to flawed, i.e. imperfect, human nature. - It's also very good to have common interests but at the same time allow each other some space. Everyone needs some time or interest away from the other.. or I should say most. - Also, as with all other good relationships we should be sure to cut each other some slack (knowing that we our selves are far from perfect or without flaw).

love is a beautiful feeling which bonds the two individuals.Any relation is started with a intention to maintain for a life time.any relation to last for a long time there should be a good understanding & respect to each other. trust should be maintained always as once broken it cant be got back easily so we should maintain it love is something which creates a beautiful world for us.

True love Can last a lifetime but each person Must put in effort to put each other first. To celebrate the similarities and respect the differences.I am finding it helps a lot if you are best friends first and then lovers. If you both understand each other then it Will last.

Commitment is one way to keep love lasting a lifetime. without it, love can change and fade away. Before we know it, the relationship has ended and we can't get it back.

Hi Vijayanth!. I think if we wanna have your love last forever we need to have a mutual respect. we need to respect each others need, passion, and wiling to hears. Love hers the way you wanna love, cherish the way you wanna cherish, praise her for little she do. From what I see from my parent marriage its all about desire but small thing inside it and together in facing hard moment.

Hi anna, how are you? When we enter into relationship, the relationship itself is starting with the promises. So we have to bind for that, apart from that love will bind each other, respecting feelings, compromise, patience, amicability, intimacy, proper understanding also sacrificing (some of the things for their partners) etc., all will make us to long last our relationship.

I haven't reached halfway of my life yet...and I think I've a few and must learn more. Based my experience, trust is very important, but we could deny the fact that we may doubt and get hurt sometimes no matter how much we trust and love our partner. I think, the relationship would last when both are willing to stay together and love each other no matter what.

Reading this post's title, remind me of old song by Firehouse: I finally found the love of a lifetime. a love to last my whole life through. I finally found the love of a lifetime. Forever in my heart, I finally found the love of a lifetime. Yeah, your question is actually all people's question. It is you who know how to last your love of a lifetime.

hello dear anna, It takes two to tango I learned my lesson,and now that i am in love again...i will think of myself first before him. And i will never let myself get hurt again...never happy Sunday dear anna

Hi sweetie. Let me rather give you my personal opinion on this. It will save a lot of hitting an biting and i'm tired. For me a relationship is what both of us will make of it. It's not really hard work. Trust, respect, love and understanding each other is the base of any relationship. That's halfway. To make it succeed and ever lasting. Patients, personal space and love each day. You need to be together, to work together to make it work. People give up when they don't get there own way. And that is the mistake. You got give and take. Like exchanging, you know. Hell, hope that made sense. TATA.

"Love" is the key word isn't it? If you both love each other, there shouldn't be any problem at all to last a relationship life time. If you simply don't love each other, what is there to continue this relationship for? So, no matter how many small fights you and your partner have, if you both love each other, it won't be an obstacle to worry about.

Today relationships harder than ever, as so many of us are always too busy to think for a second that maybe our relationships need continual work. I have had a difficult time in this area and finally I have been bless with a wonderful man. We both want the same things in our lives and work at it daily to keep it alive. We trust and communicate more as time goes by and both understand that it is required to keep us alive. We have been together for 5 years now and sure we have had our ups and down but at the end of the day we both understand that if we do not give in we could potentially ruin the love. It is not easy to practice it, as it must be a daily effort to maintain it well. As long as my boyfriend and I keep remembering why we got together in the first place I believe we will be okay.

I believe that making love last is a lot of work. You have to love that person as much or more than you love yourself. You have to express your love in small ways everyday and in big ways from time to time as well. I believe honesty, forgiveness, communication and understanding are all key ingredients to a loving relationship. I do not agree that you should always do what your partner likes and nothing they don't. I believe as long as what you are doing is not harmful to yourself or others, you have a right even in a marriage to pursue some of your own interests. I believe that if a relationship lasts a lifetime, each individual will inevitably change and grow in that relationship and individually, and if you do not allow for individual growth there will be resentments later on down the line, and with resentment comes emotional distance. My husband does some things I am not keen on at all, but I have never asked him not to or made him feel like he is wrong for doing those things. I think a big road block to a lifetime of love is that people go into relationships assuming its okay to mold their partner into what they want them to be, or that they can change someone they claim to love after they've been together. What you are really saying to someone when you try to change them is that they weren't good enough to begin with, and that you didn't love them for who they were but for who you thought you could make them. You have to learn how to respectfully disagree sometimes. And also, you must learn to accept imperfections, and even honor them as a part of who you are and a part of who your partner is. That being said, you must act in ways that honor your relationship, even when you are not with your spouse. You must always consider you marriage, and not do things that could endanger it in any way. Being faithful and true not only sexually speaking, but emotionally as well is also a must. Being faithful to the ideals of your marriage, and to the needs of your spouse is important as well. i could go on but this has become quite long and barely scratched the surface. I'm sure you will get a lot of great advice, I just covered a few of the topics I think others might not address.

if you want to achieve a lifetime relationship you have to do such thing below: when she does something that make you unhappy,dont shout at her. when she are down,try to make her laugh. when she is happy,laugh with her. when she are angry,ask her why and then try to make her dont angry. when you are anger,dont flare your anger.
