What Makes A Relationship Last Long? by DyshApp(op): 7:53pm On Jun 23, 2023
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.

Being considerate to each other.

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

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.

Compromising

If you want your relationship or marriage to last, you will make sacrifices. You will accept some things that might even go against your principles. Not once, not twice but every single time you STILL WANT the relationship to continue.


That's the simple truth.

Rich people have premature relationships and marriages too so money can't be a long lasting factor.
