If you want to know how to make relationship last, you must know these three necessary ingredients. If these ingredients aren't in your relationship, and cannot be put into your relationship, you will not be asking how to make relationship last, but how to end it instead.
The first necessary ingredient for how to make relationship last is trust. Your relationship must be completely open and honest. If you cannot trust one another, and depend on each other to tell the truth about everything all the time, you are quickly on a downward spiral. Trust, as we all know, is the corner stone of a successful relationship. You need to know that you can depend on each other all the time, regardless of what is going on.
The second necessary ingredient for how to make relationship last is communication. Many times people do not communicate very well, if at all, and they get upset when people don't understand what they want and need. I don't know how many times, even in my own relationships, someone got mad because I didn't give them what they wanted. The only clue that they wanted it as a small body language cue. You have to open your mouth, and you have to clearly, very clearly, let the other person know what you want.
Imagine walking into McDonald's and just standing at the counter. Then getting mad because no one got you the number 1 you wanted. Relationships are no different. Relationships are no different. If you need more kisses, tell your partner that you need more kisses. If you need more time, tell them. Communicate openly, honestly, and clearly about each others needs and desires.
The third necessary ingredient for how to make relationship last is affection. Affection isn't necessarily sexual. Affection is shown by the way we talk, the way we touch, the way we look at each other. Affection is about those little things that are done to show that you care and love the other person. A note on the table saying how much you care and that you want them to have a good day. Leaving the other person alone when they need some time to themselves. Calling to say I care during your lunch break. These are the keys of affection, and without them, your relationship will not last.
These are the necessary ingredients for how to make relationship last. Without these how to make relationship last ingredients, your on a path toward failure. A relationship is work, and it will fall apart like a car does if it is not worked on. But that doesn't mean it has to be work. It can be an incredible and great experience. My wife and I take every full moon to sit together and recite our vows to one another again. It is a quick and simple process, but it keeps us mindful of the promise we made to one another when we got married.
