Hi there! Just want to add some tips to make your/our relationships work and last.
 
There it is:

1.) You have to trust each other . -- of course.. kasi kung wala kayong tiwala sa isa't-isa, everyday might be the worst day for the two of you. Without trust, there will be no relationship. Trust is vital for any relationship to become stronger and everlasting..

2.) Honesty -- Where does relationship go without honesty? No one truly wants a relationship based on lies. Be honest with your partner at all cost. Lies are like a poisonous gas that will silently kill your relationship.

3.) Spend your time with each other-- Spending time together. Sounds easy right? Think again, with the hustle and bustle of this world it is extremely hard to make time for anyone in your life. Sometimes you have a tendency to forget that the other person is there. Do not let this happen to you. Always make time to spend with that special person in your life.

4.) Forgiveness-- Forgiveness is essential for a strong relationship. Now , I am not saying to forgive unfaithfulness, for that there is none. What I am saying is to learn to forgive your mate's quick tongue every now and then. Sometimes we get into moods and say things we really don't mean. As long as this does not happen everyday or even every week , take the time to find it in your heart to forgive your mate.

5.) Iwasang mag-away-- Fighting only fuels the fire and we always end up saying something that we really don't mean. Hurtful things happen when we fight, stay as far away from that as possible.

6.) Agree to Disagree--  I have found this is extremely important in a relationship. We know that not every couple is going to agree on everything . What successful couples do is agree to disagree. If it is not a life threatening matter then just let it go. It is alright to not agree on everything , we would not be human if we did. That is what robots do.

7.) Compromise-- Ah, where would this world be without compromise? Nowhere is the answer. That is exactly where your relationship will end up if you do not practice compromise. We have to understand that we will not agree on everything and when you just can not agree to disagree you must compromise.

8.) Communication -- This is a vital key to your relationship becoming strong. How are we to know what our partner is thinking or what is going on in their life if there is no communication. Did you know that most arguments or disagreements between couples generally stems from a lack of communication? :3

9.) Listen -- Always give your partner your full attention and really listen to what they are saying to you. There is nothing more annoying than talking to someone's back. Listening when your partner has something to say or a gripe is 100% vital to a strong relationship. this goes back to the communication, without it there is nothing. Kaya, walang patutunguhan ang isang relasyon kung parehong mainit ang ulo nyo..

10.) Make Love--  No matter how much life gets in the way make time for intimacy between you and your partner. It has been said that your sex life with your partner directly corresponds with your success rate as a couple. It is true. When you are intimate with your partner , be in that moment. Don't be a million miles away in your mind, turn yourself over completely to the intimacy.

That's it! I hope It's help you Good Luck couples! )
I know all these things are not just easy as it says. But at least we have to try it. Actually, dapat talaga gawin.. SALAMAT!

Give some space too. Your partner has his or her own life. If your partner wants to chill with his friends, let him. If he wants to play ball or workout, let him. He will not do anything bad if he really loves you. He loves you and he trusts you so you gotta give that back too right? He'll have time to text you or call you or see you. If you don't let him live his life, he will get annoyed of you or he will probably leave you.  You have your own life too anyway. Go out, go shopping, or have some time with your girl friends. Don't worry or over think too much. You're making a problem that's not even there. Like what Ronna said, communication is key so if you're bothered by something, tell your partner instead of fighting about it. In a relationship, you should give and take. You don't just take from your partner, you have to give too. If he treats you like a princess, treat him like your prince. You have to be equal in the relationship. Don't eveeeer tell your partner to do something for you that you can do yourself, for example, "can you get me some water?" I just had to put it there. Do things that he also likes, not just what you like (give and take). Do some things that you've never done before to make your relationship more fun. It gets boring when you do things over and over again. Stay loyal! God bless.

In my case, I can tell you two things:

1. Take it one day at a time. Let the future think for itself. Enjoy the present as it is :-)

2. Build each other up. You should challenge each other to reach your highest potentials and to dream big dreams.

[Jerhonna03]

Actually, depende talaga yan sa situation ng relationship nyo.. I have a ldr for 7 months from now.. We fought everyday but of course we didn't really take it seriously.. We do trust wid each other. Loyal sya sa'kin at ganun din ako.. Pero kung iisipin natin, ldr is the hardest relationship we can ever had..  Kung hindi ka matatag, makapaghintay etc., wala din mangyayari sa relasyon nyo.. 

But as long as hindi pa nga talaga oras nyo, all you gonna do is wait and trust God.. For HE is finding the right for ya out there..  LOVE - it is the hardest yet the best feeling we've ever had.. Kaya, kung may gusto ka sa isang tao pero wala namang "LOVE" .. Then it's not "LOVE" at all..

[eliel08]

you need to be honest with each other. try your best to make you realationship work. Dont wait for each other to make an effort. life is to short dont waste time. love is real not fake. its the wonderful feeling you'll ever feel in your life.
if this didnt click he/she's not the right for you.

[Jshearts221]

TRUST!!!!
for me, that's it.  loving your partner is already given.  but, keeping a relationship without trust is like doing bunjee jumping without harness.  you're jumping even though you're not sure if there will be a rope pulling you up again

[thirteenthstar]

I think so? Lol. Truth is, I don't really know. No one can tell.

But in my opinion, maybe we are. Hope so. It's been two years ago since I had a crush on him, and that time I was like, "Oh there's no way he could notice me!" yeah. But now, after a year or two? We're like happy with each other. I think. HAHA. So maybe, just maybe we are. I can dream, can't I?

[yscir]

i dunno. god only knew the answer to that question.

[PoncanKiss20]

we really dont know if our present girlfriend or boyfriend will be our future husband. only God knows. we just have to live life accordingly to His will, and that's it. most importantly, when we are in a relationship. so i disagree with the last number, to MAKE LOVE. it is a very special feeling that a married couple can only feel. so why hurry? if you think you two are made for each other, and you can't live without your only one, i suggest, marry  them (with a stable job and ready to have a family) before making love to prove that youre really willing to give yourself honestly by making a promise to your partner and mostly, to God.
