My boyfriend and I have been together for nearly a year. Though we have our arguments like other couples, things have been pretty great. My question is how can we keep our love strong? We're in our late teens, but I really believe that this is the guy for me. We really love each other and I want to have a mature relationship that lasts. Any advice?

I am married and I got married when I was 22 and my husband was 20. My advice to you would be this, pray and seek the Lord if you believe in Jesus Christ. Also, I would say that, anything worth fighting for is worth having so if you really love this man and know that y'all are meant to be together, then it is worth fighting. Another thing is don't let people bring you garbage about your relationship, or your boyfriend, and something I had to learn is that misery loves company. I hope this advice helps you out to some degree.

Mature relationships inclue a lot of give and take...it's normal to have disagreements, but remember to admit when you know you're at fault and say you're sorry, even if it's hard to. Support one another when it's needed, but be honest about things...don't sugarcoat anything. Trust is so important...remember to always tell the truth. That is a mature relationship.
As far as making it last and last, no one can tell you exactly how to do that...that's all up to you. Take each day as it comes, and just be happy.

Since you are both in your teens, I would suggest waiting a bit. You will both mature quickly soon and you may find that you are not for each other. As we grow up we have different ideas and likes and they may not match anymore. Give it time and if you still feel this way when you reach your early 20's you can make a better decision on this.

i would to say don't change anything between you two, because u both love each other for the way u guys are now, but to keep it strong try to agree on some things that can be agreed on even though we all have our different point of views, which is normal not to agree all the time. and make sure u guys don't argue over little stuff...even though the little things do count sometimes...best of luck with making your love.

The best thing you could do is to walk away from each other until you graduate from college. Then get back together again and take it from there.

I can't really give you any advise except what u wanna hear. Ask him. Let him know. Better yet find out how he feels and base your decisions off that. No use wasting energy for nothing.

Your mutual love needs to be nurtured every day. Invest time in doing so...both of you...
If it's meant to be a lifelong love, just invest time every day and don't worry about forty years from now...you spend forty years one day at a time.

Only the future will show...you can't do anything just act normal, and be yourself...don't change your behaviour...be the same person and maybe the future will be good

I honestly don't agree with dating, but things that would help, don't be selfish and think about just yourself in this relationship.
