well relationships are hard to maintain for others maybe a couple of months or years couples break up but there are some relationships that grow and be strong that led to marriage now i have a relationship and for me our commitment for each other is getting stronger well i just thought that if the relationship is progressing for years man i just noticed that even a simple thing could lead to misunderstanding haha but i see that all the humps in the road of a relationship always make you strong trials and hard days make relationship better i can in a relationship it is also survival to the fittest cause in a relationship you should respect each other and be able to understand and hear each other whenever there is misunderstandings that will occur how about for you,what for you can make a relationship be stronger?. happy blogging my dear lotters ^^

well friend the best thing in a relationship should be compromise... we should have tolerance and forgiveness... all these things mentioning are not in me... that is why i dont take a relation too long... i m full of anger.. and gets angry for a very short reason... but the good thing in me is forgetting the things... i forget all my anger very soon.. that is why i have some relations still left...

I think love and trust go hand in hand in making a relationship strong. Add patience, friendship, compatibility, tolerance, learning to compromise, respect, honesty, loyalty, physical attraction, intimacy, and understanding. These are the key elements in a relationship. I think I have almost said everything I can think of that can sustain a relationship. If it is still not successful despite these things, then you really are not suited for each other. Time will tell...

i think any relationship can survive only in one condition if the persons in the relation have enough trust on each other. and if this exist between them. it does not come to be the reason of any kind of break up. i think what are the problems may be. but any break up would be always due to tihs reason.

Good day to you Werty009, With reference to your question, its really hard to maintain a relationship. Sometimes, the more you try to nourish it, the more it is prone to break-up. And there are times, you thought you have a harmonious relationship, but, deep in side, a boredom feeling arises. In a relationship, both of the partners must know how to handle it. There must be a mutual understanding to both. And, in order that a relationship grows fonder, it must have the main three ingredients - faith, hope and love. Faith, as it signifies that God is the center of the relationship. Hope, it symolizes that, after all the misunderstanding, both of you are hoping that everything will be settled. Lastly, both of you must have the Love, that will bind you. Love that will lead you to care for each other. Possesing these three factors, maybe, partners can surpass whatever trials might come along their way.

to make the relationships strong you must be patience, kind, you must lead for your relation, to prove that you can accept her and she can accept yours

Well, I agree with you. I think being in relationships is like being in school because you learn a lot of lessons. You think you're falling in love, but you really fall into reality. If you get into a relationship too soon, too needy, too young, too wrong or too controlling, it's not going to last. Communication, intimacy, a sense of humor, sharing household tasks, daily exchanges, a meal, shared activity, a hug, a call, a touch, sharing common goals and interests, giving each other space to grow without feeling insecure, giving each other a sense of belonging and assurances of commitment, asking God to be the center of your relationship makes relationships strong.

Love and respect keep relationships strong. There is so much that goes into building a lasting relationship. The simplest thing can tear it apart if you don't have love and respect for each other.

love together with trust is a good foundation of a strong relationship. these two must always go together. there are times that you will lose your trust to someone you love but if you love the person hold on especially on times when you feel like giving up. then think of your love, then forgive then you'll start trusting that person again.

I am also with someone right now, that I admit like you do we also have petty fight6s and even argue on small matters. Since love is a two-way street, you also compromise during situations. Trust should still be there, forgiveness like what others mentioned, and try opening yourself to other activities, or plan going out of town. Stuffs like that do matter too

as i think relationship becomes stronger when faith and trust goers high to your someone special and same to you from your special one . if you gave respect and love to your special one then your relationship will be stronger as you want .

i think having full trust and giving room for each other to grow makes a relationship strong,if this things will be supported with respect and loyalty will end in a happy marriage. Just like in my case, i've learn that keeping my partner in my circle alone made him unloved me, but when i try to let him grow with circles of his friends and new friend i gained back his love...

Only one thing: completely honest communication!
