-- Posted by Kevin S at 7:45 pm on Jan. 7, 2009 O.K. What are some of the key things to making a relationship work and not fail. Like how do u keep that fire burning between u and ur sweetheart? What do u do as in where to go and to do with ur sweetheart(Ex: Movies, Dinner.....) but like new and creative ideas that will for sure help the relationship. Also i want first how to make a normal relationship to work but then what about a long distance relation? I'm currently in one and she live an hour away from me but it doesn't' bother me to travel that far if u call that a long drive because i dint to see her. SO yeah if u will one answer would be nice but if u would cover bother parts separately that would be Great! Thanks again ! -- Posted by danndivision at 7:46 pm on Jan. 7, 2009 trust -- Posted by Imbetter at 7:53 pm on Jan. 7, 2009 Trust honesty respect compromise understanding -- Posted by ocho cinco at 7:55 pm on Jan. 7, 2009 going down every now and then keeps her around -- Posted by prsnltyquizaddict at 7:56 pm on Jan. 7, 2009 respect, love, kindness, gentleness, being able to listen and share without getting snagged, and just enjoy each others company. do some little thing to surprise her, for example think of a convo that you two might of had and she said something she liked or liked to do but thought you might not exactly be listening and then surprise her by presenting her with whatever it was whether it's a present or activity, she'll think it's majorly sweet and think that you're a great listener. -- Posted by puppie11 at 7:56 pm on Jan. 7, 2009 trust and be spontanious. that works for me anyway... -- Posted by neotreo at 7:59 pm on Jan. 7, 2009 1) trust - if you cant trust your partner, it wont work. 2) Communication - if something bothers you, you need to let your partner know. Also, if something bothers them, they need to let you know 3) Respect - if you cant respect somebody, why are you with them? 4)honesty - a relationship built on lies will crumble 5)love - even if it's not complete love, at least a little bit must exist. at least enough for you and your partner to care about each other. 6)understanding - if you cant understand something about your partner, COMMUNICATE with them, and try to find out why they do what they do. 7) compromise - you cant have everything you want, and they cant have everything they want. but through compromise, you both will get the best of both worlds.
