It would have been nice any suggestion on what marriages to last by anyone that made that suggestion should also state the period he or she has been married .

Beyond the gift-giving, acts of service, physical touch, words of affirmation, or quality time and all that lovey-dovey whatever.

Very often, we hear about the five love languages that help us understand our partners better. Things that help us to love and care for our partners in ways they desire to be loved. However, these are only applicable when everything seems green and rosy. In those moments of raising voices, walking away, and exchanging words, how do we deal with our partners?

When conflict arises, we desire to be heard, and quite frankly, I don't think anyone wants to be spending time with or be touched by a partner who they have unresolved conflict with.

Realistically, every healthy relationship has conflicts, and when these issues arise, it is important to know your partner's fight languages or responses to amicably resolve conflicts. Just as we need to understand the love languages of our partners, we also need to understand their fight languages, as they are essential in understanding how to communicate with your partner.

Broadly speaking, we have people who are expressive in conflicts and prefer to address the issues immediately; on the other hand, some are suppressive and prefer not to address the issues head-on. Let's break these personality types into categories to fully understand the what and how of dealing with a partner's anger and our anger as well.

Patience nd perseverance nd nothing more. If not for patience most of the marriages we see clocking 30 to 50+ yrs would have dissolved b4 even celebrating the first anniversary. My parent have been married for more than 30 yrs but the truth is that in the course of the marriage they passed through challenges that could have ended the marriage but through patience nd perseverance they're still a union nd that has taught me alot as a guy.
same story, over 30yrs of marriage. moreover, my dad had 4wives. I came from a polygamy family. from grand fathers to dad.

RESPECT. AGAIN RESPECT. LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH. Compromise, simple understanding. Never date someone who is not on the same level of understanding as you, or who doesn't want to put in the work to make it work. As a man know your worth.

Forgiveness, selflessness and kindness.

On both sides.

Good and kind people don't hurt their partners, and if hurt does occur, forgiveness takes care of it.

Selfish people don't even have a place in a relationship of any kind.

Selfishness and relationship are oil and water.

Lack of understanding

Being considerate to each other.

As long as boundaries ( do's and dont's) are respected, the relationship should last

Desisting from being a Tilumbu ass licker can make a relationship last long. because when u keep licking an old druggy ass, it affects your psychology

I'm talking about marriage, not these days relationship.

Mutual respect, tolerance and financial capability.
May our pocket be blessed.
Re: What Makes A Relationship Last Long? by Anonymoususher: 4:39am On Jun 25, 2023
My relationship is 6yrs old and we are getting stronger by the day with mutual love and respect.

She was 18 and I was 24 when we started but I think what earned me her love and respect was how I stepped up and lead like a leader.

First, I was a fresh jobless graduate living in a face me I face you. When I approached her she blatantly told me that relationship was last thing on her mind, to cut long story short we began, I am her first boyfriend.

As usual she said no sex till marriage and I agreed, sex was the last thing on my mind because to me I want to marry.

I pushed her to become a better person, instead of sitting and waiting for admission, I pushed her to learn a skill, thought her alot and I am not only her advisor but also her confidant. 3yrs we dated and kept building ourselves many people even her parents and friends didn't want me around because they felt as guys do I would just eat and clean mouth but I kept assuring her that I am in for good.

It's been 6yrs down the line and everyone that doubted are now in the believe, her parents, siblings , friends, uncles etc plus Mine already see themselves as in-laws.... We have good relationship and have also built our finances too.

Till date I still do the things I used to do when we newly started, I pick her from work, I still take lunch to her in the office, we still gist, never have they been insults, infidelity etc, just vibes and love


We are taking a course now and focused on it, next year we will say we do

Commitment, trust , understanding and love.
Re: What Makes A Relationship Last Long? by corlin2(m): 6:43am On Jun 25, 2023
First off I would say, knowing within yourself that you are ready for commitment.
If not , you’ll be having doubts along the line if you should continue or not.
But if you have made up your mind to be committed, you can easily sway those doubts of yours.
You have to make up your mind first of all and let go of those other girls totally.

Cos if you have this mindset that you have other options out there , trust me , it is only a matter of time , you’d give in to those thoughts and it will crash your relationship.

I would love to also add that, you’ve got to learn to have an open communication with your partner about everything that’s bothering you at some point and make your partner understand your point.
