how to make it last through the years
This question is directed towards people who have been in a relationship for two years or more. I've been with my boyfriend for 3 months and the connection we have is different from any other relationship I've had. I really feel like we can make it work and last for a really long time. I just wanted to hear from other people what are some simple things (or not so simple) that you've done to keep your relationship alive and well.

Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life?
The best advice I can give you guys is to not get too comfortable. When you're first talking to a guy, you're not snippy with him. You don't get angry when a girl's name comes from his mouth. You don't expect him to call you every second of every day. You give him space and time to start liking you. I think a big problem people have in relationships is that they get too comfortable. Of course you're going to want to be able to depend on him, but you need to give him breaks every once and a while, and he needs to do the same. Take things easy, don't rush or force anything. When problems come up with him, start looking at the problems as your problems as well. Don't take things too seriously at first. Don't take things too seriously for a while. If you rush into things in the first six months, there will be nothing left. It will die out quickly.
Most importantly, be best friends. Be there for him during family problems, school problems, financial problems, health problems, etc. The way a friend would be. Hang out and do things like friends would along with doing things that couples do. Don't make everything be sexual. In order to stay together through the years, you have to best friends with each other. Be comfortable, but not too comfortable.
Hope this helps, good luck! (:
