19 secrets of couples who stay together forever
Never
underestimate the value of asking your partner how his day went. Niceties don't become any less nice just
because they become routine. At the end of the day, even if you felt like no
one cared about anything you did, at least you know your partner will not only
care but want to know details.
2.
Some fights are just fights. They don't have to be deal breakers. You can be madly in love with a person and
still be mad at that person. Fights don't have to spell The End. Couples that
stay together choose the relationship over the conflict.
3.
Accept that relationships come with obligations. You might not want to do everything your
partner wants you to do with him — work events, seeing a band he likes, even
errands — but you also know it makes him happy to have you by his side, which
makes doing those things totally worth it.
I beg o! View this picture, what readily comes to your mind?
