A relationship is kept going strong by trusting in each other, being respectful, caring and loving at all times. When I was young my grandma gave me a bit of advice and that advice helped me to stay in a 35 year relationship. She said, "never go to bed angry at each other. Even if that means staying uo all night and talking it out." Best advice I was ever given. Being romantic at times is a good thing as well. Keep that romance alive!

My partner and I have been together for 26 years. Communication is the key and trust is the keyhole. It helps that we have many things in common...hobbies, likes, dislikes, morals and ethics. There have been many rocky times yet we weathered these almost as well as the good times, of which there are many. As we age, our memory and health threatening to decline, this just means a new challenge to change with the flow. Life is constant change and both sides must find compromise. I love her even more today than I did the first time we met, our love is stronger because of our commitment. The youthful lust has dimmed some yet the passion remains strong. And we are better friends, companions, confidants to each other with our maturity. Sometimes, the hardest thing to work on now is the romance. But it is less important to us now then our bond of being life mates. Hard to explain, don't know if I've helped answer the question any, but good luck to anyone who fights to keep their relationship fresh and firm.

To relationships strong there are many things. For me I always established a level of honesty with anyone I was dating, but you also have to have tons of communication, talking or instant messaging daily helps keep things strong because you can get closer and know each other better, but also find things that you have in common with your partner, I always dated people that had something in common withme whether it was sports or a hobby, so many things keep a relationship strong, but respect, honesty, and communication are the main keys.

For me i have only been married for almost three yrs, but i would say just the level of trust and honesty we have . the comumintcation and physicaliness we maintain. and the love we have as long as you got those things you can contune to keep your relationship going. being able to give and take and try new things together sharing in eachothers jobys and hurts. or hobbies and activities.
going on dates and pretend you don't know eachother. something that might spice up your love life.
um take classes being invloved with one anothers interests is always encouraging and being supportive and verbaly telling your loved one your proud of them or you love then. often helps.
but to each is there own way to stay in love. just don't let it start to dye with inside you .

you have to maintain a connection throughout the day sharing the mundane aspects as well as the exciting parts of your day.
