Trust too :DHow do couples stay together for so long?
Couples stay together for so long because they have invested time, love, money, effort, raised kids, and basically built a life together. It takes mutual love, respect, patience, admiration, a little bit of sacrifice and compromise...and a GREAT sense of humor to hold it all together. My husband and I have a lot of laughs and that def helps.
Every couple is different. Some of them stay together because of love. Some stay for money. Some stay out of fear. Some stay for religious reasons. I'm no expert on relationships, but I can tell you that my husband and I are still together because we vowed to be together forever.





My mom has been married 5 times and that taught me not to run when things are rough.
Laugh...laugh alot. If someone has no humor its a hard thing..a relationship takes a number of things. Respect,patience,trust and having fun!! You can't ever NOT laugh. Raising kids and being in a long relationship takes much work but if you can't laugh then whats the point.Giving each other space when needed.Walking away for a while and not talking while your mad,wait until your anger is gone and then talk. If you don't do that things get said that aren't always meant but when people are mad they say some hurtful things.It takes work but anything worthwhile does.
respect,patience and compromise all play a part. that and not sweating the small stuff. eventually you realize that most of it IS small stuff
patience...


love...





and definetly... anger control :)





i love my baby, but sometimes i jsut want to strangle him..gently!

Realizing marriage is like a roller coaster and tomorrow is another day on the ride.
verry easy. treat each other as you would like to be treated. Do not try to control others. Read the book of Matthew
They maintain separate identities and keep their marriage as a common goal.
