How to last 8 years and counting?

Tweet

There is no such thing as a fairytale with a happy ending. There is also no perfect person that could understand you all through out the days of your lives. Sometimes, misunderstanding occurs specially if you don't know how to listen. I have this 6 reasons to share why we lasted 8 years and counting. He's my first boyfriend and hopefully the last... ( It works for me, I don't know if it will work for you too.) But still I wanna share this. :) 1. We always appreciate things. - appreciating is a way of showing that you care and is proud of what he's or she's doing. We simply appreciate each other by saying thank you and by showing that what we did is always special even if it's only a little thing. 2. We see to it that we miss each other. - there are some relationships who spend their everydays together. Sometimes, it's good but most of the time it's bad. ( If you are not married yet.) Give yourself and your partner the time for you to missed each other. Remember, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." 3. We give and we take. - we have both our likes and dislikes. We respect each others opinion mostly, and we asked each others idea to avoid fights. 4. We listen to each others side. - after the silence, we will talk if what had happened, why is it like this, why like that and etc. So just understand each other, and never ever make a decision that you can't face after the fight. ( But we fight only once in a blue moon.) And ofcourse, patience. 5. We started from the beginning. - we started from being a stranger, classmate, friends and lovers. Our relationship starts on a step by step basis which is good, because as days passes by we got to know each other more and love each other deeper. We started from being friends, lovers, first holding hands, first hug, first kiss and many more first. :) We didn't hurry ourselves to experience those, because we know in the right time and the perfect timing, we will. ;) 6. Lastly, we know how to make our love grow and deeper. - we know how to make ourselves being loved even more as we grow old. We see to it that we're still sweet, we say iloveyou's often and there is always love between us. We explore new things together too. :) How about you? Can you share yours? :)
