    Wink What keeps a relationship strong?

    communication, intimacy, a sense of humor, sharing household tasks, some getaway time without business or children, daily exchanges(a meal, shared activity, a hug, a call, a touch, a note), sharing common goals and interests. giving each other space to grow without feeling insecure, giving each other a sense of belonging and assurances of commitment.

    If these qualities are missing, the relationship will erode as resentment, withdrawal, abuse, neglect,dishonesty and pain replace the passion. As long as we have memories, yesterday remains. As long as we have hope, tomorrow awaits. As long as we have friendship, today is beautiful."

    Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, and the romance in a relationship and find out that you still care for that person. Love is being able to walk arm in arm....even when you don't see eye to eye!

    Never say goodbye when you still want to try. Never give up when you still feel you can take it. Never say you no longer love a person when you can't let go. If you love someone, tell him/her, for hearts are often broken by words left unspoken!

    Hi telford

    Yes you are right in a way, but the things the other ladies mentioned will keep a couple together if money gets tight.
    It is the sharing of intimacy that, in my opinion, makes the glue that really bonds two people.
    I suppose it is what priorities we all make as couples.

    BTW, where did you get the font in your signature, and what program made the image?

    i think its trust... in the past i have been hurt by my ex and couldnt seem to settle because of my past experiences. when i met my hubby it took me along time to trust him not to hurt me. that is the bond that keeps us together.
    God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i can and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people i had to kill because they pissed me off.

    Unconditional love, learn how to compromise, trust, honesty, patience, good communication (mean a lot) and everyday learning of experiences aside from others
    Don't make promises when you are in JOY. Don't reply when you are SAD.
    Don't take decisions when you are ANGRY. Think twice, Act wise. BE happy.

    Sometimes MUSHY BITS is the cause of arguments esp. if your partner is hurt before or he/she has a trauma on her/his past ... We are dealing that sometimes

    Love, love and love! I believe love is a commitment. A commitment to respect, care for, cherish and value another, even when you don't want to or it is easier to walk away!
    Be responsible with little so that you can be trusted with much!!
