dude, theres never a reason to feel guilty for having a good relationship. i have an amazing 3 year relationship and i feel very fortunate for that, becuase i know these types of relationships are hard to come by...when you're single its hard to pass the one month bar scene most of the time.

tips:

always show your appreciation towards each other! and make sure to give compliments when appropriate. (that just sums it up very generally in a nut shell)

sex life parts a secret

honestly - it is what happens outside the bedroom that does it for me it all leads back to the bedroom

That one has been etched in stone for me and it works.

It's 13 years for my wifey and me (6 married + 7 together).
I can tell you that a relationship takes work.
Noone ever thought that ours would work but it does.

- Respect your partner decisions and opinions
- Listen to your partner when they need to talk (don't give advice unless they ask! Sometimes being a sounding board is all they need)
- Encourage them to do that thing they'd love to do (for my wife it was Irish Dancing and now Bass Guitar) and support them 110%.
- Have common and separate interests/goals.
- Most of all, always tell them you love them and hug daily.

Works for me...

I don't know wether to call your timing excellent or horrible.

There's always *lots* to do in between the sheets.. Or above them.. Or on the floor.. Or against the wall.. Or against the window where the neighbors can see (kidding.. Gahh). I keep my mileage low, but those who I've shared that 'experience' with got truly and utterly spoiled. That's about all the advice I can or would give.

Devote yourself to them entirely, as the favor will be returned.

It's all about respect, Boys & Girls.

VD has to be high up on that list.

Been in a long distance relationship with my fiancee since 1999...

I think what has worked for so long is just the loving way we speak to each other; we have arguments and all but we hardly yell and always say, "I love you" to each other.

I guess once we start living together things will change (have no experience with that) but I don't know if part of the reason we have been together for so long is because we've had so much time apart doing our own things...when we see eachother for the first time after a long time it's always so exciting and filled with love, and we've had that moment like 20 times in the past 6 years, so I still have that giddy feeling when I see her!

Now she's in Montreal so she's closer but it's the same thing...therefore I don't think I have *real* relationship experience (i.e. living with someone knowing they're with you for the rest of your life)...

^^^^^

too sweet.


Yeah really caring for someone/loving someone sure makes the bedroom that much better
