Being in a long-term relationship is truly a beautiful life experience but we know it takes a lot of hard work. Here are Ten Tips for long term relationships and a tribute to some of our favorite couples. Happy Valentine’s Day to you all – and may you find the love you deserve.
- “Good relationships are not just about the good times you share; they’re also about the obstacles you go through together, and the fact that you still say “I love you” in the end.
- “Immature love says: ‘I love you because I need you.’ Mature love says ‘I need you because I love you.’ – Erich Fromm
- “Man may have discovered fire, but women discovered how to play with it.” ― Candace Bushnell, Sex and the City
- “Choose your relationships wisely. It’s better to be alone than to be in bad company”
- “Successful long term relationships are all about power levels. A high power level male will attract and succeed with a high level power female. How do we define those power levels? We can’t, they are inherently in us, and invisible to scientists, accountants, psychologists and spiritualists alike. None can explain the Universe in its entirety, and it is more than chemistry, biology, physics, genetics, horoscopes, religion, in-laws, fame, psychology and spirituality. We may be infatuated by a person, but as soon as we hold their hands, kiss their lips, and especially, make love or have sex with them, their power levels will be instantly exposed.” ― Robert Black
- The most beautiful thing is to see a person you love smiling. And even more beautiful is knowing that you are the reason behind it.
- “When we’re incomplete, we’re always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we’re still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on–series polygamy–until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.”― Tom Robbins
- Love is not about sex, going on fancy dates, or showing off. It’s about being with a person who makes you happy in a way nobody else can.
- “Every couple needs to argue now and then. Just to prove that the relationship is strong enough to survive. Long-term relationships, the ones that matter, are all about weathering the peaks and the valleys.” ― Nicholas Sparks
- Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” ― Laozi
