When the money finishes so the relationship finishes too. What a fulfilling relationship needs is good communication, understanding and prayers.

That is reason why relationship collapse the the secret to its success remain money so work and make money then relationship will be yours.

i think some posters have said it right and we'll continue to have deferring opinions on what will make a marriage long-lasting.

In my opinion, i think it is a lot of work and dedication. Because if not, you might find that things are falling apart even b4 it takes off.

I strongly believe in God and prayers cos Prayers can move mountains and turn situations in my favor so that's number one.

Tolerance plays a huge role too especially for women, you have to learn to "hold your tongue". Yes, it'll be tough if you are someone that likes to get it all out and say it as it is. I don't mean that you shldnt talk but you have to learn to know when to say it and how best to state it. Two wrongs can never make a right.

You have to learn to ignore in some cases negative words and actions. Just assume it wasn't said and deserves no response.

Always be at your best- kind word, loving action even when the person doesn't deserve it from you, take time to take care of urself very very very well- from your hair, skin, nails even toe nails and dress sense.

Money has a role to play but shldnt determine love and affection in the relationship. You shld love deeply without holding back in good and bad times. In some instances, the bad times could be more than the good times. You need to be courageous and pull urself together cos you will not be the first person in that situation or the last. The solution lies in how you handle the situation and most of the times, the solution is right in the middle of the crisis.

And again be careful, who you consult with during ur down moment. First of all, look up to God and ask for the Grace to go on. And if you have taken certain decisions in the past, that made unpleasant things to befall you, then it is time to change from the old ways.

All in All, it gets better over time with more work on the relationship. Adjustment on your perception of the other person and your response to situation. I learnt from my experience, you can never get a perfect person but can work on being the perfect person, which will over time influence on the other person. Give as much as U can and dont expect or demand unusually so U don't get disappointed.

The foundation is very important! For long lasting and fulfilling relationships, I believe the God-kind of Love & the Wisdom of God(through the Holy Spirit) is what is required and ONLY those who Believe in God & His Son - Jesus, have the opportunity to utilise these. Believers who are struggling in their relationships are probably not utilising what they already possess. Ephesians1:3

Foundation is fundamental. Is the relationship built on God and godly values?

If yes, then what you need to enjoy "forever" relationship is to be ready to sacrifice all for your partner. Difficult but possible and its the sure way to go.

@horny4u, that was the best advice ever read about relationship, nice

In my opinion
God
Don’t keep vital information from your partner, because when is
discovered it drive trust away .
Let your ''Yes be Yes and No be No''
Reciprocate your partner’s love
Don’t take each other for granted.

I think is hard to endure/tolerate a cheating partner

@ Poster

GOD., any other thing is just an addition.

Rbaby:

I believe it is T.L.C + GOD. T=Trust, L=Love, C=Committment and GOD=GOD

God has absolutely nothing to do with the way a relationship works. You have to put i in order to get results. Hard work and focusing towards your relationship are just a few key points that can help a relationship

@Achukwunet,you are right on point!

I have seen atheists enjoy the very best of marriage.If as a religious person you believe you need God for a wholesome and happy marriage thats good and fine,but to say all marriage won't survive without one or both of the couple believeing/acknowlwdging God is not TRUE.

@born2f*** . you just dont get it. Do you have money 24-7? What happens when there is no money? does money equal to love? or maybe you just think love is sex. love and relationship is much more than sex and money. A lot of people here has given a lot of good answers while some are just joking arround. I still stand on effective communication,understanding and prayers. ofcourse money is important but it is not the main thing, money beautifies the relationship but cannot sustain it. how many rich men and women do we know that has billions and yet they file for divorce?

@ifyalways, many things we do not understand is that God himself has given some principles which will work for you wether you are a believer or none beleiver. Amos3:3 is one very important key to success in marriage. So if the two atheist like you said are enjoying there marriage its because they are following the principle of agreement. Agreement covers almost everything,openess, communication, understanding, love , money, infact its so deep. have you not seen many rich men that are unbelivers and atheists and budhists? So it still boils down to God cos atleast it is God that has kept them alive and has put the principles in place for humanity to enjoy success.

Know GOD first through Christ Jesus, HE will teach you all that you need.
