All relationships take some work to it. It just doesn't always come naturally. What I feel helps keep a relationship going is communication, trust and loving each other for who each other is.

Yes you are so right. It really does take effort to keep a successful relationship going and for both partners to be happy. I agree that communicating is important in order for both spouses to know and understand one another better.

Communication is key to all relationships weather its marriage or just being friends.

First of all I do not think that there is such thing as forever, maybe the right word for that is a lifetime.... :D From my point of view and what I have learned from experience. Relationships are build by two people who love each other, because if that two people lost or fall out of love that is the point the relationship got broken. One other point is Trust and Respect for each other. Because, I think the most common reason why people lost or fall out of love is the lost of Trust and if you do not trust your partner you will not be able to respect her/his privacy and you begin to look for other person to lean on. And I think the best foundation of a relationship is friendship, because at the end of the day sometimes we need some one who understand and accept us as we are and that what a true friend is. One last thing is learn to compensate each other, it is like you need your partner because you love him/her and not you love him/her because you need him/her. Well this is just my insight... thanks for letting me a part of this... :D

Yes a lifetime is a good way to describe it. I agree with you when a couple stops loving one another the relationship will fall apart soon if they don't work to fix it.Trust and respect is a major factor in successful marriages. It's hard to have a happy relationship/marriage if the partners involved don't respect one another.

It needs two people who'll defy all odds and still hold each other hands and promises to remain faithful, loyal and loving. Yup, it's not easy but if the relationship is worth it, and you are determined, nothing and no one can separate your hearts :)

I really like how you put that. That the couple has to defy all odds and hold hands. Things like that seem to disappear over time but it's important that we keep doing these things. We need the relationship to be strong and it's important that we do our best to make it work.

I have got no idea how that happens. honeslty! My open relationship with this guy has bben long and I do know it would end some day when I get serious of having a family, but I can't think about how to end it. Because it's working fine and more fine the way it is and I can't think of it ending.

For most people it does take time to understand what they want in a relationship and what will be best for them. When we are able to figure this out then we start to know what will make the relationship we need work.
