(females) whats the best way too keep a good relationship last a long time?

Answer 1

Making a relationship work is hard and sometimes even painful. But love between two people creates a safe place for them to come when they are weary and not on their best behavior.
Too many couples depend on love to keep their relationship together, but commitment is the adhesive of a good relationship, and love is the reward of keeping the promise to stand beside each other through both poverty and wealth.
Be truthful, loving, listen to her, commit and put everything into the relationship. But it takes two to keep it together.

1- Staying faithful, not just by your actions and in your heart. Don't start letting yourself think about the what if's of being with someone new... find a way to always want what you already have.

2- appriciate the details. Take the time at the end of a day or week and remember all the little things that she did -but didn't have to. Realize that only special people will be that good to you, and when you have the time, and the right drive, then make sure you do what you can in return for her.

3- keep the bed room life spicy. I really shouldn't have to go into detail here. Just be open minded, and feel free to talk about the things that both of you want and need in order to feel staticfied.

4- keep things special. Make sure you say that phrase she loves to hear, remember important dates, and don't let the suprises die out just because you hit a rough patch.

5- be honest. just becuase you have been together for a while doens't mean that it's time to assume how the other one feels, or that you don't have to explain the whole thing about why you don't want to play board games with her family. Good communication keeps everything running smooth.

6-Do what ever it takes to grow together. Through life things will change and experiences may take you in different directions. If you share what you are going through, you can both grow together... instead of apart.

There are lots of things that can be done. The best thing i can say is... no matter what it gets to be like, after any amount of time just be glad for the love you can feel for one another. If that love means enough... it will last a very long time.

There's no one best way that's going to work for everyone, but I really think compromise, trust, and understanding are three key elements to maintaining a healthy, loving relationship.

It's important that both parties do their part in compromising and not always insisting on their way or the highway. It also helps to minimize any residual bad feelings or resentment that might occur because of selfish behavior or the like.

Trust is absolutely essential because it is going to help make you feel so much better about the direction your relationship is heading into. If you trust your mate, you aren't spending a night home alone worrying or wondering what they're doing (or who they're doing it with). You'll be securer in your relationship and it makes you more confident (which is infinitely attractive). Part of trust is the act of being honest with each other. I'm not saying to take honesty to a level of being hurtfully blunt, but the people in the relationship should feel comfortable sharing their feelings and thoughts, whether they're good or bad.

And lastly, understanding is key to a relationship because it allows you to make allowances for your partner. If you know they tend to lash out when they're moody, and they're always moody for the first half hour after they come home from work, you learn to give them some space before approaching them wanting to discuss the days events. Or if you know they hate going to a formal event (say your friend's wedding), offer them an incentive - say you'll take them to something they want to do that you don't particularly love doing in exchange (if it's a guy, maybe to a sport's bar for the big game or his favorite team).

I think these are three very important things that are easy to talk about, but they're much harder to translate into behavior.

Well, me and my bf have been together for almost a year, and here's what I think:
1. Never miss a chance to tell her she's beautiful
2. When you argue, its OK, any good relationship is gonna have problems, just think before you speak and never ever call her a bad name or hit her in any way
3. Try to set up romantic dates every once in awhile
4. Don't be grumpy all the time, and when you are having a bad day, dint take it out on her if its not her fault
5. COMPROMISE!!Don't always give her her way, and don't always try to get your way..try to meet in the middle
6. If she asks you for your opinion, tell her your opinion..!Girls hate guys that are undecisive..
Those are some of the things that have worked for me and my bf, hopefully they'll work for you..
Good Luck!

Answer 5

I've been with my boyfriend for 4 years and we've kept things fresh and new like they were in the beginning. We've done this by doing things that we did when we first dated, (going back to the restaurant where we had our first date, etc.). We also find new things to do with each other.

As we get older (we're in college) new things are right on the horizon and being there together through them has been exciting. If it's true love, it will be easy to stay in love...trust me. :]
