Agree with flasback. I have been with my husband since I was 15, together 27 years, married for 20, 5 kids... There is no magic formula, we've grown up together, he's my best friend as well as my husband, could not imagine my life without him in it.

I agree with flashback entirely.
Be yourself.
Love your partner, flaws and all.
LIKE your partner, even when you are angry with him/her.
Respect them.
Put them first and back them up.
Don't give up
Don't listen to your friends. They don't know EVERYTHING about your relationship.
TALK! For god's sake people, TALK!
Be affectionate and caring.
Remember the little things.
What works for you won't work for everyone else.
Be happy.

In my experience it works when you:
1. Love everything, change nothing. If you're endlessly trying to change someone you're saying you're better than they are and it causes resentment.
2. Put each other first, no matter what.
3. Talk without trying to outdo each other. Communication is not about winning it's about finding an answer that works for you both.
4. When you're at the end of your rope and absolutely frustrated, ask yourself "Am I wrong about this". You may not be wrong but it may happen more often than you're willing to accept. If you are wrong and are willing to say so, it'll go a long way. Same goes for him.
5. Give each other space.
Ask yourself 'Do I like who I am when I'm with him? Does he make me love myself?"
There will be hard times but don't give up on each other.
It's always worked for me :-)

Ditto to everything that flashback has said. We've been together for nearly 29 years and married for almost 21 years. We argue and we shout at each other from time to time, but we always talk and work things out. Communication is very important, without it you don't stand a chance. Always let each other know that you appreciate them ... it doesn't have to be over kill, like everyday, or expensive gifts, because then you end up taking it for granted it doesn't mean as much ... just the odd word or gesture now and then keeps it real. And if you ever aren't happy with each other for some reason ... never, ever, leave home in the mornings without kissing and saying goodbye ... you never know when it may be the last time. Look after each other.

we've been married 41 years and known each other 43 years.
Guess all I can add to what has been written above is:
Don't bring up incidents that have upset you in the past. You may not forget if it has been a trust broken but you can forgive.
Don't nag...
Talk a lot and laugh a lot.

with my experience, you need to communicate a lot, tip - honesty always pays. also sex life is very important, satisfy each other's needs. last but not least ... discipline (control yourself, dont be unfaithful, dont lie) hard to say, a loving long-term relationship takes hard work.

Trust.... Always being the first to say sorry even if you know it's not your fault. I perfectly Agree with Europe COMMUNICATION is key. Respect. you know love him/her when you've learnt to let go of what you fear the most
