Ways to maintain a long time relationship?

I think communication is the most important thing. Being open to each other also important, and I agree with you that there should be no secrets between the two, no matter what. Besides, we can also doing something new together so that we won't get bored with each other.

Hey Mervyn, I have been in a relationship for the past 5 years.The secret to having a successful relationship is by understanding your partner's needs and being there for them when they need you.If you do this,They will definitely be there for you when you need them.A little adjustment is also needed as both partners are two different people and both of them will have their own likes and dislikes.So the main thing is a mutual understanding between the partners.If you have all this,then you shouldn't really have any problem in maintaining a long term relationship.

hi mervyn, There must be the presence of trust, love and respect for each other. Both partners must spend quality time with each other no matter how busy they are. It is because through spending quality time with each other, they can make each other feel special. There must also be respect. Avoid saying words or accusing one person of something especially without enough evidence. The communication must always be open. Whenever there is a problem or misunderstanding, both persons involve in the relationship must work out on this. They should talk with each other heart to heart.

Hi mervyn07 I was once a long time relationship. My husband and I dated for about 6 years before we get married, to add up the challenge we are in a distant love affair situation. But still manage to get through it all. I really do not know what is the best secret for that. But all I know is that you have to have faith at each other. Learn to trust each other and always remind each other of how much they mean to you. The longer you get into the relationship the sweeter you will be to each other.
