I am really amazed seeing couples that stays together for decades. with kids having kids of their own and seeing their grand kids..what do you think is the secret for keeping the relationship lasts longer. why some people lasts only a year or so.? how long you've been together now with your relationship.? not only for married people but for people with their friends. I know friends come and go. but why some people stick together as if they are not tired of each other.

There's no perfect relationship but if you put god in the center of your relationship it will definitely last. Of course there should also be love, trust and respect to each other. Me and my husband makes sure that we go to church every sunday with our kids because if you have faith in god you will also have faith in your partner.

Hi, I do believe a love and trust will make a relationship last forever. Only with that elements, both parties will stick together and stay together forever till they are old and see their grandchildren. How I wish I have the chance to see my grandchildren in future. Of course, for a relationship to stay stable, an argument can always happened,however, as long as both parties are willing to give and take,then problem can be solved.

Yes you are right but there are situations the other is always giving and the other is always taking..now if one is complaining it becomes an argument. For some they end up in divorce.!

I agree with you but in some situations some doesn't know how to respect until the love and trust slowly disappear!

You must be compatible. give and take. Accept and forgive. love patience being loyal honest and so on. There is no perfect formula but its a destiny. Always pray..=)
