[QUOTE="Harmon, post: 2950407, member: 24357"] Something that hasn't been touched on here- love is hard word. People go into relationships working hard, then they settle into a life and they expect to glide through. You have to work, both of you have to work, and work hard to keep that closeness, that love, that communication open, if you don't then you are doomed to fail. I know everyone here has seen it, then had their own relationship fail and wonder why. Someone was not working at it. There are periods were you can relax, kick back and glide through, but for the most part- work, and work 24/7. Make sure your SO works too. My wife and I have a question we ask each other about every month- "are we okay?" Which is a thing we ask to insure that something hasn't gone wrong, its an open invitation to discuss what needs to be looked at, and what needs work. After eleven years of marriage, more then twenty years together as friends, and otherwise, it works for us. [/QUOTE]
