Do you want to be a long lasting relationship..??

In today's world of everyday divorce and relationship break-ups, it seems that couples who stay together for more than ten year are fast becoming something  of a rarity. but as celebrities like michael and shakira caine, married for 30 years, and paulnewman and wife joanne woodward, who celebrate their 44th wedding anniversary this month, show it is possible to be happy with one person for a virtual lifetime. But it is such enduring love  down to luck, good judgment or just a lot of hard work?
Happy Ever After
'' It's been no means unrealistic to have a successful , very long term relationship and to be happy , not in the sense of hearts of flowers but in having a fulfilled life together .''  You will have a good times and bad times, there will be heartaches and sadness and life will kick you in the teeth from time to time but this is normal and unavoidable . ''It's the ability to cope together that is vital and to be with someone who not only understands you but who can let you be utterly yourself .'' Although you won't necessarily make sensible judgments when  you are fall in love . What you are doing is having the necessary excitement but that is not the same as having the basis for a stable and compatible relationship.'' What is important is starting out together with a shared sense of love, excitement, passion and sexual desire but to remember that for the relationship to last you need even more than this . '' You need to recognize it's about more than just sex and make sure there's of a basis of a friendship there too.''
Judgment
Don't judge knowing how to handle the bad times as well as the good also plays a vital part , learning to accept that there will be occasions  when you can't stand the sight of your partner. Because the mistakes a lot of couples make is so constantly test and assess their relationship, panic during a rough patch and think all the signs are there to call it a day. '' It's important to understand that every relationship fluctuates in its degree of intimacy and closeness.'' Don't test it every five minutes and get upset if things aren't going well. '' If you are giving your relationship marks out of ten remember  that sometimes it will score a ten and sometimes a minus one and this is totally normal.''
Compromise
 How many times have you head the word's 'give and take'
