Sometimes I get questions from people wanting to know if I think their relationship will last. Sadly I cannot predict which relationships are strong enough to survive life's up and downs and which are not.
But you should have a good understanding of how strong your relationship really is. I always advocate building a relationship on a solid foundation of friendship. The truth is that those are the relationships that seem to not only survive but they actually thrive as time goes on.
If your relationship was not founded on friendship then it will be necessary to build that friendship as time goes on. Don't worry, lots of couples start their relationship without a solid friendship and they build it over time. As long as you become great friends the rest will be much easier - after all, you already have the love that is necessary for a great bond!
In building or strengthening your relationship work on doing things together that you both enjoy. Engage in real conversations. Spend time together doing whatever possible. Hold hands and cuddle up. Learn all you can about one another and add an activity to your relationship that will create a new bond.
With love and friendship your relationship will go far!!!
