believe it or not you can keep it going forever if you BOTH work at it..\nyour hormones are flying and usually raging because you are young..in body and heart..\nlove brings out things ( chemically ) in people that give them the sense of euphoria..\n\nand you brain just loves this and you feel so great\n\nbut if you or he say the exact same thing in the same exact way ten year after you were first togehter..it sounds like he is picking on you...because your brain does not have all the endorphins to make you happy like you were when you first meet..\n\nbut if you both keep working on each other each and every day.with little surprises ( sneak up and put your hands on her eyes and kiss her neck..and make her giggle..) even though it is silly..stuff works..\nup out of the blue on a Saturday..make HER lunch and bring it to her and say this is for my ever do lovely bride..\nif you two keep working at it ..it will work just like you two first meet..\nand so on and so on

When my husband and I started out on our relationship over 17 years ago we did not have a lot of things. We rented an apartment and several houses along the way, have had several vehicles that turned out to not be very reliable, and even had to stay with my parents a few times. We are still together and stronger then ever.We now have a house of our own { for 3 years now} and a reliable truck to get him back and forth to work.  So do I think that a relationship can last? Yes, definitely. As long as you truly love one another and really want it to work then nothing can stand in your way. I hope that I have answered your question and good luck. By the way, I was only 16 when I got married and we have been married for 17 years and together for 2 years before that. We made it and so can you!

Yes and no. Many things can happen in 4 years but if you two love eachother that much to wait then go ahead. you only live one life

Like any other relationship, as long as you're in love you'll stick together no matter the mileage separating you. My hubby was in England, I was in France, then he was in Malaysia and I was still in France - we did that for 3 years before moving in together, and after 10 years we are married. So it works!

Wow you are really young to be together that long. Congrats. You still are young though, just keep doing the things you are, and enjoy being together, cause that is all that really matters

It will be tough, but it all depends on the length of time apart and how long you have been together and how strong of a relationship you have had during that together time.\n\nIf you have a strong relationship full of trust then you will be able to last some time but if you have had a shaky relationship then doubts may follow and out of site out of mind soon follows. \n\nSo if you completely love and trust each other, GREAT.  If not one should make every attempt to move towards the other if possible.\n\nGood luck,

speaking only for myself as an english man, i wouldnt say we make better physical lovers, we can sometimes be more considerate caring lovers though, having lived in the USA, I found most men tended to treat their wife/partner more as a pal (not necessarily a bad thing) than a person with whom they wished to have a long loving relationship, and lets remember here love making isn't just about how long you can last in bed, it's showing how much you care for a person, holding hands while out in public, those little looks and smiles you share, and knowing you could trust your partner with your very life if need be. So as far as i can see, if your partner fills those criteria, it doesn't matter where he comes from so long as he makes you happy.

I think so.  If that chemistry is still alive 25 years later--that is truly a match made in heaven.  Chemistry does have a lustful element in it.  I have had nothing really last for me relationship wise, so i cannot comment on 25 year things.

I suggest a 12hr sex session... or 24hr, even better! You guys should be gagging for it if you've been apart for the past 6 weeks.\nMy 19yr old flatmate got a dr who figure and a haircut for her man for their aniversary this weekend. \nI think you really have to work this one out for yerself tho, you should know him really well by now, probably better than anyone, and you'll be able to find something i'm sure. \n\nI'd still go with the sex tho!

If you're happy now, then be contented with what you have. You chose to marry him despite his age and you've lasted that long together.\n\nIt is dangerous to entertain such a question...

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.

it is okay to love someone for that long.. but if they dont pay attention to you, dont pass up other realtionships that could turn out to be good just for him. best of luck and i hope it works out for you =)

two people can feel they are right for each other when they first meet, definately. i had it happen to me, five months ago. we were together for a couple of weeks and then i had to go back home... its been 4 months and i still havent even thought of having a relationship with anyone else. we talk every day, the feeling Is still the same. so the point is, it can last, for sure! :)
