This is actually something I'm struggling with right now.  I totally love my girlfriend with my whole heart, but it's just my rebellious nature to look for "excitement" outside of her.  I catch myself trying to impress other girls, and sometimes lusting after them.  Realistically, though, there's nothing more exciting than being in a totally committed, loving relationship, and we guys don't know what we're really blessed with when looking elsewhere.

Compliments to you for being a gentleman. When we rush things, we don't allow ourselves to savor whatever we're trying to enjoy.  You say you want "to keep this one"...well, take your time and really get to know her and what she's all about.  The more deeply you know her, if she's for you, the more you will love her.  Knowing someone on a spiritually(not physically) intimate level, allows you to really commit and give of yourself; which, by the way, makes for a great formula for relationship success. Best of luck!

Excitement is attractive.  \n\nPassion is attractive.  \n\nNice guys who exude a passionate enthusiasm will beat a blase bad boy any day of the week.

If it is not something you are comfortable with, then you shouldn't have to do it just to keep the relationship going.\n\nHave a chat with him and find out if he is understanding enough to give that part of his life up (He should, if he loves you that much.)\n\nIf he's not willing to give it up, then you have to decide if it's something you can put up with, no matter how much you like him or how great he is.\n\nIf you can, then stay. If not, then leave him as you will never be happy with him and will get more stressed out as time goes by.

The differences in men and women are what make it so neat to be with each other. People today don't try to make a relationship last. The trend today seems to be-get what you can out of another and then when things get rough-drop them.Honesty-trust-care-loyalty-understanding-compassion and love are the keys to a great relationship.My wife and I weathered many bad storms in our marriage,and are still together-in love- and will probably stay this way till I die. Oh,by the way,we have been together 21 years!!!!!!

The intensity of the honeymoon wears off.  That's where the action of love comes in.  Be creative, and yet do things to bring back the romance.  Sooner or later, the quality should overrule the quantity.  Makes the intimacy more enjoyable.

I don't think you could ever MAKE love last, but you could do things to help keep a relationship strong. You always should be 100% honest and truthful, no matter how hard that is. You should respect the other person and get respect back. Listen to one another and give advice. Don't ever try to control a person. If you feel like you have to control them to keep them from cheating on you or something, then you don't trust that person and without trust, you have nothing. Make that person smile as much as you can. Laugh with eachother and don't take little things too seriously. Just have fun and love eachother the best you can.

Lucky you.  Sounds like you have the perfect ingredients for a great relationship.  You already know eachother very well and you already have a great time together, so go for it!

Me and my boyfriend just celerated our 4 yr anniversary last weekend. I think if two people are ment to be together then they just automatically never get tired of each. Sometimes when we hangout we just chill at his house or mine, and sometimes we go out and do things. The fact that we have a lot in common is a huge factor too. We like to watch the same tv shows and movie, and we like to go out and do the msae things like playing pool or bowling. Just having common interests is the main factor i think.

Stop taking each other for granted.  Say thank you more.  Notice each other more.  Candle-lit dinner.  Weekend away.  Picnic in the park.  Flowers.  Bath together.  \n\nAll this helps things to go well, but you can't make him want you more.

There are many factors as to why people act out the way they do. I think the question you need to answer is: Do you want a relationship with this person? Then decide what it is that has turned you away. You have to get to the root of the problem in order to know where to go. Is the relationship at a stand still? Do either of you have any future plans for marriage, family etc? Sometimes when we get bored with someone it's because a change needs to happen to bring the 2 of you back together & back on track. It could be a vacation, or dancing or sight seeing... some sort of fun activity that you both would enjoy & that will break up the boredom. It doesn't have to be elaborate, just something different. If you decide that you simply are not happy in this relationship & are truly wanting someone different, then perhaps it's time to move on. Try changing your point of view or outlook. Sometimes seeing things in someone else's shoes, makes us realize just how we are behaving & helps us to change those things we don't like about ourselves to become better people.

Such a good question. I think the most important things in a relationship are friendship and trust. Passion comes and goes and if you're not friends and don't trust each other... you'll get a divorce eventually. So I vote for reason!(You do have to love the guy of course :)

Well, depending on what parts of the relationship you would like to spice up, all call for different answers. Try new things that you never thought you would.  Surprise really helps to spice things up.  Try just doing something spontaneous. Heres a good one.  Make a little treasure hunt for them.  Put clues around the house or where ever you would like, you can even use a map and have it end  with you as the treasure.  Its just something different. Make it kind of sexy treasure hunt to really get them going. Hope this helps alittle bit.

In terms of stability, one of the most important things in any partnership is an underlying friendship. That is especially true in marriage. There is nothing that creates more stability in a marriage than for the partners to be best friends and to fully respect one another as such. Being lovers in addition is simply a bonus. =p

Relationships are always tough. I have found that the way to make them last is to not worry about the longevity. If all we did was focus on when something was going to end, why bother starting? At any rate if you have a good thing going cherish it. If something goes wrong with your mate, try and help them as best you can. Remember some of the best things about being in a relationship are not only sharing good times but having someone there for you in the bad. And if the relationship doesn't work, cherish that, you experienced something, which is better than nothing at all.
