There are lots of comments on LPSG regarding hook-ups, dating, and casual sex. A long-term relationship for some amounts to three dates during spring break or six weeks living together last summer.

First, how long is a long-term relationship for you?

It would be interested to hear from couples (straight and gay) that have been together for several years. What has made it work for you?

Was it:
--Common interest*
--Temperament
--Family/friends support
--Mutual respect*
--Undefined love
--Work ethic
--Shared responsibility*
--Shared cultural views*
--Honesty*
--You just liked the way you are/were treated*
--Oops, almost forgot --- dick size.*

I have married to my wife for over thirty years and our kids are grown. We love each other very much. Even with that we still have our ups and downs but most of our lives together is wonderful. But a man and a woman just think differently and therefore your going to have problems. The things that I think are important are having like backgrounds, being honest always, open communication, respect for each other, getting help from a professional when you need it or when you can solve problem or find the answer and sex and sex and more sex. I think sex is the glue that holds the bond together. God could have made the sex act without any pleasure but he made it with pleasure unlike anything else on this earth. That tells me he meant for us to have sex as much as we can! Where can you go and get the kind of release that sex and an orgasm gives you? Nowhere! There's nothing else like it on the earth. Sex will solve more than hours of talking. Have sex and then talk if you can you will get much more accomplished. And remember love conquers all. Turn the other cheek. We both have God in our lives and we pray. That to me is a night that should not be overlooked. A kind word turns away wrath. Good luck!
