One word: Communication. It can solve and prevent many problems. Still, this is no guarentee. People are people.

In order from most to least scary, here are my recommendations...
1. Admit it when you're having problems.
Stay calm and try to explain when it's a good time. Decide together what you want to do about it.
2. Exhibit compassionate honesty.
Be honest about your wants and needs, but be considerate about how you present it. Don't turn it into resentful accusations or passive-aggressive complaints. Just speak in terms of what you need, and how things he does make you feel -- both positive and negative. Correspondingly, make sure he knows you expect the same of him.
3. Love is a behavior.
It's not just a feeling, it's a series of choices that you both make on a daily basis that affect the other person's well being as well as your own. Think about it in terms of both long term goals and short term goals. Remember that caring about and for each other includes prioritizing for your own well-being -- you must be your own #1 priority. Conveniently, your own priorities include being flexible enough to have a healthy relationship. :)
4. Have fun together!
Hobbies and interests in common are a great help and... let's face it, isn't enjoying time together (sex AND otherwise) the entire point of dating? That said, you don't have to do every single activity together -- in fact, I advise you both to always have your own separate hobbies and friends so you don't smother each other.
I wish you luck, even though you should both try to make sure you don't need it. ;)

There are many ways to keep the relationship healty.
There has to be trust, understanding, both need to be openminded, committed, have to be able to communicate, and be there for each other thru whatever comes up whether it be good or bad.........
You have to be able to do whatever it takes to make it work if you and the person want to be together
We all have limits so maybe they need to be discussed....
