Communication most definitely, because I know that I cannot read his mind sometimes and he cannot read mine, which ends up as us losing our trusts for each other. We have broken up and gotten back together a lot of times, but it takes a while in between the days of breaking up and getting back together, simply because during those times I guess we realized our mistakes and anger turned into I really miss you and I want you back. So I completely agree with what Zenairis_Serean said under his post. That is what I do to keep my relationship going. And I tell him directly that I sometimes have trust issues, but we work it out somehow. Sometimes communication can be from the heart and body too! If you take the time to sit down and talk it out, it helps quite a lot, even friendship relationships or family relationships, they work the same way - except for the romance part, but they work the same way - communication and trust.

ROMANCE.
let Marvin Gaye (the best wingman in all of history) set the mood.

Throw some rose petals everywhere. Dim the lights. Light some candles( ALOT not some). Learn to do the toosie roll( roll your belly). Strip buttnaked. thump them fingers in rythem to the music. Raise one eyebrow in a creepy way. Bite that hole bottom lip. make your way towards your women and spin her right around and hug from the back. Move dat hand down dat shirt and show them buttoms who the boss is. Get real close to her her and say '' Just keep lovin meh sugar '' .

Still, I advise marraige beforehand. You love her right? than marry dat girl *tootsie rolls*

Constant Communication... Even the cliche, Good morning, i miss you and etc...
Effort to make the person you love happy and inspired everyday if things starting to get blue...you should be there to comfort.
Respect to him, his friends, his family and his job.
Trust, to what he say is true and not to entertain other thoughts of him if in doubt just ask him directly and be honest.

Sexual compatibility.

Friendship keeps it going for me. Once you've fallen for your lover, it's not impossible to fall for him/her again but it will fade away. It never stays till the end of times so, when the honeymoon is over we should have a loving and caring friendship.

Lies wil always break it for me, there shouldn't be a reason to lie to me, especially when in a relationship. If you lie to me, I can't trust you. If I can't trust you, I would be afraid to love you. There are only few people worth such a risk in my opinion.

Respect and honesty. The minute I start feeling like I'm taken for granted, I'm out.

I was just going to say this. My fiancee and I live in two different cities 8 hours away and we talk every single day, sometimes twice.

OTHER NON LOVE & PEACE IDEAS:
----------------------------------------------------

You could try locking them in a giant golden birdcage and threaten their family until they love you forever.

If you're mega rich, just give them money and let them do whatever they want. Even if it's across the world with the pool boy.

Make sure that you brainwash them right away or they might get that disease called 'free will.'

Just kill everyone that they like until only you are left. Problem solved.

Or, just build her to worship you. We have the technology!

work... and lots of it.....I'm not talking about a job...its more as a interest instead of a job

i was in a long distance relationship

and to keep it going it all boiled down to TRUST and COMMUNICATION....

with out those 2 i think there can be no relationship between 2 pipol...

Maybe I'm the only one who believes in this but...I think it all boils down to dumb luck.

The luck of the draw.

There are countless relationships where the guy or the girl are basically perfect and do all the right things. Are good-looking, intelligent, kind, have a bright future, are funny, understanding, supportive. And still, in spite of that, their significant other still breaks up with them, or cheats on them.

Just think back on the news all those years back when Hugh Grant was dating a drop-dead gorgeous Elizabeth Hurley. The one from Bedazzled and Austin Powers. Classy, elegant world-famous supermodel with the charm to boot.

And Grant goes and cheats on her, by soliciting the services of a (frankly) ugly prostitute when he had Hurley waiting at home for him. Not because she did anything wrong, or because he was more attracted to the prostitute. But simply because it was more "dangerous" and "exciting" for him to go against the law and cheat with a street-walker.

There's no rhyme. No reason. No logic. People just do the weirdest things sometimes. So at the end of the day there's nothing you can do to make sure your relationship is going to work out or keep going. You can increase your chances, but it's no real solution. It's dumb luck. Even if you do all the right things.

No, no, no, no! You've got it all wrong! It's not just sex, it has to be good sex.
