Well I am neither a relationship guru, nor a love consultant. Not even close. But in my relationship, I have certainly picked up a few tips and have learnt precious lessons. Despite these tips and lessons, I admit that I can't boldly declare that my relationship will last forever and ever. Deep in my heart, there is still the slightest tinge of insecurity, fear, and doubt. I'm not sure about my better half, but we try to make things work out and ultimately, we hope to fulfill a mutual goal in the future.
So back to the point of my 'secret' to my 6 year old relationship. Hmm. Well I do have a few pointers:
1. Maintain healthy distances. I believe in personal space and distance because these are the times where you take time to do the things you like and spend time with other people or yourself or your family. For dear and I, we don't meet everyday; probably 3 to 4 times each week. So what do I do on days I don't meet him? I hangout with friends, I spend time at home etc. There are so many things to do without your partner!
2. Get a mutual hobby or activity. Ahhh. The best thing you can do together is something both of you like. Be it fishing, or some sport, or even a simple activity, these are the times where you can tighten the bond with laughter, teamwork, and love. For dear and I, we enjoy fishing occasionally but most of the time, we visit places locally (and non-locally) with our friends about once a week.
3. Have mutual friends to hang out with. Well it's sad to admit but three is indeed a crowd. So get to know each other's friends and hang out with them together with your partner. You'll soon realize that you get to have the best of both worlds - friends and boyfriend at the same time!
4. Selflessness. This might perhaps be the most painful and difficult gesture for anyone especially in times of strife. I don't particularly know how to elaborate the benefits of being selfless, except that the more selfless you are, the deeper the love would be and the love you will receive from your partner.

So what do you guys think? Or do anyone have other precious pointers to share? :)
