how to make it last
I've always wondered how couples make their relationship last. How do 2 people stay together for 2 years & still be so happy with each other? I understand that it takes love but there's gotta be something else to it. So if anyone can share how they have made things last, I would really appreciate it. <3

i found out to make a relationship last.. all you need is love,trust,friendship, and spice. love well..dont say " i love you " if you dont really mean it, but when you really mean it..its time to say tib ut thats usually after the whole friendship thing. friendship..is like sharing secret witht hem and having fun with them. trust is REALLY IMPORTANT, dont trip for stupid reasons if you dont have clues that he's/she's doing stuff. and then the spice.. we all knoe spice is like physically together..like hold hands, kiss eachother..affectionate is the key.

To me it's like fixing soup lol (don't think I'm crazy, go with me here.) You throw in a little love, along with a little lust, a dash of trust. and a whole lot of friendship and WAAALAAA; you have a great relationship. For my husband and I, it took us a long time to realize this. I think other than love, friendship is the main key to having a great, long relationship.

Well, for me, it hasn't hit 2 years yet, but I think I can put some input in because the 18th of this month will be a year and a half with my boyfriend.
What makes a couple stay together is the love and trust, and the relationship itself between the two of you. Of course you'll experience plenty of fights, but you need them in a relationship. The fights are what makes your relationship stronger, because you know you can get through rough times together. It should take time to love someone. In my opinion, there is no such thing at love at first site. You must spend plenty of time and share plenty of experiences with one another and build your infatuation and "liking" to love. You eventually learn how to live with (not like in the same house, but like dealing with and learning about each other) your significant other, and that's what keeps you going.
I hope I helped. =)

My relationship has lasted as long as it has with honesty, patience, and trust. We've had PLENTY OF FIGHTS... but the important thing to getting through those fights is being able to understand where the other is coming from and we are able to talk through the situation. It's a wonderful thing to be able to do that with someone.
Also, in my relationship, my boyfriend and I were best friends BEFORE we went out. That's important if you want to have a good relationship with someone. My boyfriend has taught me many things about myself and knows everything about me. He's allowed me to realize how stubborn I can be and that helped me to get along better with my mom. Sure, he is my boyfriend, but he's also my BEST FRIEND. There's so much more to a realtionship than kissing and having sex. It's pure understanding.
Another reason relationships last so long could be if the two partners place the value of intimacy higher above most other things in the relationship, meaning basically if they had sex with their partner, they feel extremely bonded with them and close. Some people actually have sex with their partner only because they want to be with them for a long time.
Another thing that's imnportant is to make sure you aren't seeing each other EVERY SINGLE DAY! Sure, when you start dating, you'll want to be together all the time for the first month or so, but after that, it gets really boring. So it's important to save time for other people in your life. And when you do see your boyfriend after a few day break, you'll be happier to see him.
And one more thing, it helps if your families get along, or that you have met your partner's parents and your partner has met yours. That makes it more comfortable to bring your partner along on family trips or have him at home to hang out.
Honestly I could go on and on. Relationships like that are truly once in a lifetime. If everyone was able to have a relationship like that the world would be a much better place.
