Today, we seldom see relationships that last long. Usually, it only takes months for a relationship to last. For those who manage to keep the love between both partners, How do you do it? How do you maintain love? How do you keep the relationship strong?

I know what you mean. There are so many people in the world who can't maintain a relationship more than a month or two. Well, I have been in a very happy relationship. But I will say much of it has to do with the fact that we are compatible with each other both physically and emotionally. Also we both are eager to make this work because we see each other as perfect partner. The only thing that can make a relationship strong is to cutting ego out of the personality and treating each other respectfully. I see this as the most important element in keeping a relationship strong. Once you get to have this you will see how fearlessly you will be able to face relationship issues and solve them at the same time.

I am happy for the both of you. You're right, in a relationship respect for one another is very important. But don't forget TRUST. It should always go along with respect.

Yup! Being an open person helps your partner identify possible problem that may occur in the future.
