Long, lasting relationships?
I've been with my boyfriend for over three years, and am happy to say we make each other very happy and love each other more than we can say. We won the "Cutest Couple" superlative, and have always been different from other couples, but more successful than them, as well. We do not have sex (but do other sexual things), and we aren't all over each other every second of every day. We are each others best friends. However, that phase of always being cute with each other has passed, as it always does with a long relationship. Sometimes I'm guilty of questioning if he "loves me as much as he used to, in the early stages of our relationship", even though at the end of the day, I realize it's a silly idea by the way he says he loves me and treats me. There aren't anymore cute messages left on my phone when I wake up, not as many random "I love you's", but we do other fun things that have brought us closer in the long run.
So, I'd like to hear stories of your lasting, loving relationships and how you kept them that way. We both just started college (at the same large university), and while most couples we know have broken up because they "wanted something new", we didn't feel that way at all, and look forward to the ups and downs college life can throw at you. So if anyone has advice or stories to keep our reationship as strong as it is, or any stories of growing into more than just "high school sweathearts", I'd love to hear them!

Well, I can't say I've ever experienced a long relationsihp myself, but I definetly know someone who has. My old neighbor and teacher says she was in love with her husband since sixth grade! They ended up going out in high school, and they dated for a couple years afterward. When they were in college, he proposed. It shows it doesn't matter how young you are, you can always find that special person that can change your life. Heck, they've been together for almost fifty years, so I have no doubts!
