6 ways to make your relationship last Long,if you can do number 2,4 and 5,nothing will destroy your love,CLICK TO READ

Most of us want to meet and settle down with the “right” person, and most of us want such a relationship to last.
No matter how long you’ve been together, there are some simple, fundamental rules of the road. Putting them into practice isn’t always easy, but it is critical. Make your relationship stronger, and the good stuff — fun, s*x, trust, affection — will be better than ever


1. Accept that your partner is fallible. Expecting someone to be everything you need and everything you are not is a recipe for disaster. We all make mistakes, particularly in our love-lives, as relationships are never easy. But if you can exercise forgiveness in small ways at the start of a love affair then you’re more likely to find ways to forgive the bigger hurts and transgressions, if and when they happen.

2. Accept that s*x changes. There are different qualities to s*x at different stages in a long relationship: first, passion; the urgency of reproductive s*x; snatched s*x in the early years of parenthood; then the slower intimacy of midlife onwards. But our culture presents only one type as being valid: youthful, vigorous, usually penetrative. It is possible to maintain a happy s*x-life for decades with the same person. It may not be as often, or the sort of s*x that you think you should be having, or think others must be having (but aren’t) – just relax and enjoy this special kind of intimacy together.


3. Shut up and listen. No matter how bad things are, give your partner a chance to speak. Given silence in which to speak or rant, they’ll say more than they meant to – even more than they knew they were thinking. It can be surprising and revealing and paves the way for honesty. We tend to jump in with an opinion before we’ve heard each other out. Don’t scream, keep your cool: it makes a big difference. So often, things can be resolved by learning to listen.

4. Don’t keep score.
Relationships are not a game, so there is no reason to try to keep score.This means, if you do something nice for your partner, or do something to help out, you don’t have to announce it to them just to get brownie points. The same goes for if they make a mistake, or make you mad, you shouldn’t feel the need to hold it against them just to make yourself look better. This is probably one of the top reasons why relationships don’t last. Nobody likes to feel like a loser in a relationship.
Forgive.
Everybody makes mistakes. This is a cold hard fact of life.  If you truly care about the person you are in a relationship with, you have to learn to forgive them for their mistakes. Holding grudges toward one another is very toxic in a relationship, and is definitely not something you want to do if you want your relationship to last.

5. Offer solutions, not criticism.
If there is a problem that arises in your relationship with your partner, and they come to you for advice, offer advice that tries to help them actually solve the problem, and that doesn’t criticize them for what they have done, or what the situation is.
Compliment each other.
This one is pretty self-explanatory. Complimenting your partner is such a simple way to show how much you really care about one another. If you don’t do it, it could be easy for them to question what they really mean to you, or what you really think of them.


6. Embrace flaws
Once you’re in a relationship, remember the old adage "nobody’s perfect". Jemima says that when you fall for someone your initial attraction can stop you noticing your new partner's flaws, or at least override them. But as things progress, you learn more about each other - both the good and the bad.
To get through this stage, you need to be understanding and caring. "For your partner to be willing to open up and show the real them is a huge part of showing their trust in you," says Jemima, "so be kind and gracious"
