A long relationship turn to be weary!

There are certain types of relationships that requires to be perennial. Friendships for example. I believe it will all start with the things called love. Since love is a friendship that has caught a fire between it, it follows that as long as we set and nurture the fire burning in the heart love grows and never gets weary. But we are to choose which love to give. Will it be filial, eros, and the like? In the romantic love, which usually starts from attraction, emanates from the filial love. Nurturance is needed. My parents were engaged for five years before they got married. They did not get tired even up to date. They are happily married for twenty-six years now. They will celebrate their twenty-seventh wedding anniversary on the 18th of next month (May). Further, i have a friend, who is also my colleague in the ministry. They were in a good relationship for ten years before they got married. What is also admirable is that they did not practice the "live-in" thing. They will have their first anniversary soon. I can see that they really love each other. Being in a relationship is something to be cherished and treasured. Persons, partners, life-long companions are to be given. Relying on the power of God who enables each one to walk with other person faithfully is a blessed act.

we just completed our 11 years of relationship this march. and its been wonderful day after day with our understanding between us growing equally, making the relationship strong. we always feel to be like we are for another seven reincarnations if possible. so theres never been even a thought of distate to each other, though sometimes arguments and disagreements are part and parcel of a relationship. Now the incident you tell seems to be a unwise thing they have done. when they have been as boyfriend and girlfriend for 10 years they should have decided before coming this longway and then separating. if there has been coldness between them that shows they have been living in like real couple and yet were unable to decide their own lives or failed understand the love to each other.
