in a long term relationship or marriage what are the qualities that you love the most?

i have been married for 28 years ,we never wanted to go through the dating thing and both refused to allow the other person the right to sleep in another room of the house we always went to the same bed for sleep.ask your self what well i do when i stop loving that other person because there well be many times you don't love that other person but if you decide no matter what your in it for the long run nothing can cut you out of the relationship ou can't lose an till you give up .another important thing is i would rather do things with my wife more then any other person .just hearing her breath watching her ways is heaven to me i am blessed .

Well we've been together for only 7 years, not 10 or 20. But we have the same friends, enjoy the same interests (music, activities etc.) We have a very strong connection, unlike many of our couples' friends. We know what really pushes each others buttons, and we try our hardest not to do that. We don't fight, and when we have arguements, we fix it right away. Now while I am more goal orrinated (?), He's still into buying all the toys to go play on dirtbikes, four wheelin' trucks etc. But he makes sure he pays some of the bills and gives me a certain amount to put up before he goes and spends it. And of course the obvious, we love, trust, respect one another deeply!!

My husband and I adopted each other's interests. I was into photography and he learned that trade--quite well, too. I was also a high school teacher who loved mystudents; he got to know and care about them, too. (As a matter of fact, some were in our wedding!)

I grew up in a world that revolved around football, so I had a good understanding of the game. He was a big San Diego Charger fan, so I became one, too. I learned the players names, wear the jersey on game day and share his excitement when the team does well.

The biggest bonding element, however, was that we endured a four-year long trial. We had a business that took off quickly, suffered for a while and then was on the verge of going over the top. It was consuming us, our efforts, our finances and our energy. There were times we didn't know where our next meal was coming from or we didn't have enough money to put gas in the car to get to church. Still, we stuck by each other. We sacrificed so much to see the business succeed. When we realized that we were drifting away from God, we decided to cut our losses and take back our lives.

Because of our faith in God and our shared convictions, we survived that ordeal even though it brought out the best and worst in both of us. Our relationship had truly been tested, and we each knew that we'd stick by each other through thick and thin. We are each other's best friend. We share common goals and work together to achieve them. The love is unconditional. We both feel that we are blessed with something rare and precious, as we take every precaution to protect it.

I am thankful for that four-year trial. We appreciate all the luxuries that we now have, and our relationship with God and each other has been significantly enriched.

Been married 3 years here and I have to say the qualities I love the most of my husband are - his kindheartedness, he generosity, his true love for me, and just the similar way we are to each other. We like pretty much all the same things and that really makes a difference.

Since we got married, we've had a lot of things happen to us. Less then a year after our wedding his mother passed away. A few months after that his oldest sister decided to ignore him, his dad and their youngest sister - 2 years later she refuses to talk to them and my husband no longer can see his nieces. He has also lost two jobs and we've gotten through that, too. All of these things have brought us closer in ways.

One thing we've gotten hooked on lately is every Sunday night we head over to my family's house and play games - like Balderdash or Scattergories. It is so much fun and I've never seen my Grandpa laugh as hard as he does. Everybody enjoys it and we go home already psyched up to play again in another week.

I think the main thing to a happy and successful relationship is not only trust, communication and love but also time. Everything and everyone takes time. Dont rush. Time will always tell. You need to make time for each other. Have your alone time if you have kids. Keep that special spark between the two. My husband and I have been married for 2 years. We have a 9 month old also. We are learning to try and make time for each other but also enjoy our family. It is very important to keep your relationship #1.

Just the little things, like when he walks passed me, he rubs his hand across my back. Stops me in the middle of the hallway and starts dancing with me to no music at all. Rubs my head when we are talking in bed. I say these are little things, but they mean so much. I've only been married for a month, together for a little over 2 years. I was married for 7 years before and he never did the "little things"

My husband and i have been happily married 17 yrs

We love each other more then anything

We are each others best friend

We are there for other another during tough times.

We love going fishing together its fun

We like taking walks together

We like cuddling on the couch watching tv.

We're recently married, but I really value the stability and legitimacy of marriage over just living together. That is just not a lifestyle I ever wanted for myself. I'm 38.

Personally, the best quality that I bring to the marriage is an enormous bladder.

We could go on long flights or car rides and I never have to stop to go to the bathroom.

My wife loves this about me.

we've been married 36 yrs, I gatta say now, that the most important thing is being able to sit down together and have a meal and talk about stuff at the same time.
