Corny? Melodramatic? The quote above is part of the lyrics of the song "A Long and Lasting Love".

Don't we all seek a long-lasting relationship? We may not all be fortunate enough to find "the one" for us yet there are a lot others who found their partners for life... till death.

I know a few couples who are together for a very long time. Just recently, I witnessed a couple who celebrated their 50th anniversary! Imagine all those long years? Who wouldn't want a relationship that lasts that long or even longer?

That's everyone's heartfelt wish, don't you?


So, what's the secret to a long-lasting relationship, whether living together or a long distance? I don't claim to be the expert in this but here are my thoughts:

• Communication - I think this is the most   important key to a lasting relationship, especially for those who are in a long distance relationship. There should be constant communication between partners whatever it is that they have in mind, whether it is about what they want or of what they     don't.
• 
  
• Say "I Love You" - as often as you can but only when you truly mean it.   And when you felt it, do not hesitate to say it. Whisper 'I Love You' at bed time too!
• 
  
• Write a poem or a letter - sometimes it is better to let our   partners know   how we feel through letters, especially when we hand-write it the old fashion way. It doesn't matter how bad your writing is (like my hand-writing). Also, spelling and grammar doesn't affect the sincerity of the content of your letter. 
• 
  
• Hold hands - whether in public or in the comfort of your home, while   watching a television show. 
• 
  
• Compliment your partner - it makes him/her feel good when compliments come from you.
• 
  
• Cuddle up and kiss - either when people are looking or not.  
• 
  
• Send love text messages, share private jokes and flirt with each other.
• 
  
• Say sorry - whenever you think you've hurt your partner's feelings. 
• 
  
• Never go to bed without resolving an argument.
• 
  
• Say goodnight with a kiss.
• 
  
• Make love - need I say more?
