me and my girlfriend have been in our relationship for eight almost nine months now and we are really happy together and i have never cheated,hit..or anything like that and i have always been upfront with her and i am always there to listen to her no matter what it is or what time of day it is, and she is the same way with me, and i really love this relationship and i really love her and i was just wondering if you had any advice on what we might be able to do to keep our relationship really strong? i would like to take this time to thank everyone for taking the time out of your day to come by and read and review my discussion and hopefully answering, and trying to help me, and i hope that you all have a great day and night tonight, thanks again for taking the time to stop by.

Sometimes pride is one of the things that really breaks up a relationship. So my piece of advice would be "let go of your pride" in the sense that whoever commits mistakes must apologize and must not prolong the quarrel for days. In my experience, we always have some slight quarrels with my girlfriend and sometimes this ends up in a big fight. We are not like this before because during our first 3 months we are always happy and laughing most of the time. But nowadays, we tend to argue on something everyday. But we are still the same jolly couple when the fight is over. I dont know, maybe its just because we are still adjusting because our relationship is still young. -communication -faith -loyalty -clarity of mind -too much pride must be lessen hope i helped...

keep doing what your doing and keep it fresh and alive. There comes a point where you will get really, really so comfortable with each other that it is easy to fall into the habit of taking your love for granted. It is pretty cool when you don't have to worry so much and are confident in the relationship but I think many couples take it too far. You still have to keep it interesting and show that same love later that you do now. Keep the romance alive. As time goes on, you don't have to be so intense but don't let it die. Surprise each other with an occassional love note or poem or night out...be creative. The thing is that it takes 2 to both be equally dedicated to the relationship. All to often you find one that puts their all into it and the other just gets so lame. Sounds like you have a pretty good thing going....hope it lasts for you both!

I think if you are ok till now, in every way its very much possible to be ok with this. the trust and understanding should be intact.

I've been with my bf for 5 years. In the beginning it was like yours but after alot of arguments came along lol. What I suggest is that you keep on being patient. Patience is a virtue. It is also important that both understand each other and not only 1 who want everything his/her way. Both should put the same effort into the relationship. If there are any problems, try compromising. You are dong great with your relationship anyway. :P

its realy nice to knw dat u2 are having a great relation and as u r givin ur time to find out what to do to keep this relation going on im sure u love ur gf alot. i can gues hw luck she is to get u and she must love u alot too. i dnt u need any advice coz in relationship nothing happens as planned. if u2 are madly n truely in love wit each other i m sure everythin that comes btwn u r just petty n unimportant and wil pass away soon. wat i want u to say is inspite of bein so caucious if anything goes wrng think abt wat binds u together dan what keep u apart.

it seems that you've already established a good foundation in an ideal relationship. i believe that you've done enough to preserve and cherish what you have. just always ENJOY each others presence, good times or bad times. Be happy with what you have right now and be thankful for it. no need to worry in anyhting, but in everything. God is there to get you through the way. good luck and God bless to both of you. ;)

You have built up good relationship and you two love each other very much. You are matured people and so you two take very good care of each other too. What else do you need? I do not think that you need any advise here. Only thing I would like to say here is that both of you should be careful to maintain such relationship. It requires only few misunderstandings or few inconsonsiderate remarks to break relationship. So do not allow it to break because it is rare to find such relationship.

Hi Jhl! You have a good relationship there with your girl. It is a good start. You just need to continue what you two are doing :). Being strong in the relationship is by keeping the love alive by continuing to love that person everyday of your life... Happy Mylotting! Cheers!

I would say that you just have to keep communicating. A lot of times, couples will reach a point where they get comfortable in their relationship and stop communicating. This often happens without one or the other person realizing they're even doing it. Just remember to talk about things that bother you and get them out in the open rather then just sitting on them.

Good understanding and trust for each other will keep the relationship going strong enuf. I think u need not do anything really special to maintain this. Both of u need not change any quality of ur's since u have liked each other for what u r. Ofcourse any relationships will have few misunderstandings and fights,but both of u shud always have the trust that u'll be there for each other during good and hard times. So,just get going. A small suggestion from my side is,u people will surely get older but see to that the love and care you have for each other stays young and tender always. Keep rocking!! Cheers

It doesn't sound like you need any advice. Just keep doing what you are doing. As long as you love each other you'll be fine. :)
