Most of us have long term relationship, some of us are married for many years but some of us are failed to keep the relationship. What is your secret to stay in a relationship for so long? Maybe this discussion will help someone or everyone who's having difficulty in looking for a long term relationship

It’s not a secret when it comes to a long term relationship it does take work and two people change over the years so you grow to get her or a part but what keeps things between you going strong is communicating talking being open to keep the conversation between open and understand. You don’t have to agree on every little thing but have that open air way even if you don’t grew in the same direction you can still be together and in love. Support, talking, giving each other the time together and alone.

I think the best piece of advice I could give anyone is to keep your dirty laundry between the two of you only. It's much easier to resolve an argument if you aren't getting a bunch of outside advice/opinions from people who have their own motivations.

I agree with you, there are times that we have a nonsense argument, so I just keep saying sorry just to end it up

I do not think there is a secret there. I believe relationship is a two-way street. It is a give and take. Importantly there should be respect.

You're right! If someone is selfish then it'll not run smooth

I don't know if it's a secret. All I do is fall in love with her all over again every morning and spend the day letting her know it.
