What are some ways to keep your love alive?

My answer may sound rough and wayyy diff from the ones which are softcored .

There aint no "secrets" to make a relationship last, bubbles..but der is Definetely a "way" which we already are aware of and which we usually happen to follow when we r in a dire need of survival - survival in the sense,survival of love-- and that is "Fight for it." Look around u, whether its love or life, human or animals, from the tiniest of the living particles to all the celestial objects, they all fight- not among each other- but fight within themselves becoz of wat they believe in, believe in wat is right for them and for the person they love. If u want something to sustain then its all in ur guts, ur confidence that YESSS , YOU or I can DO IT!!! .... no matter wat circumstances arise , even if we lose a hand or a leg - doesnt matter- perfect or no perfect -doesnt matter- The fruit of "happiness" starts to bear only after u have tried somthing for the right cause not just once( eg:- once in 8 mths or 1 yr) but each and every moment of ur life.( I hope this doesnt sound hard to do and it doest matter if ur far or near), This statement is applicable if u belive in love aint enough.

Example - I love this girl to the most extreme core of my heart, her name is Trell aka Sushiwushi, we have loads of fight (sometims volcanic fights!) but its is nothing comparable to the happiness I have for being with her. U might wonder how can i be happy(and am damn serious abt it!) even if we fight....well the answer is above... :)

1st- Thinking of break up shud always be 2 sided, if one hasnt given a single thought abt it, neither shud the other( now this is tricky!)

2nd- Dont ever question urself or doubt urself on the relationhip { eg; the way u have portrayed ur question ;) }

3rd-Arguements are normal {it means both the partners are highly intellectual / intelligent ;) }

For any further clarification, Feel free to drop by to have a heart to heart conversation. ^_^

When we "fall in love", we are usually talking about "romantic" love which is a far cry from reality. In reality it takes time to really love someone and with that love comes trust. Also, and this may sound strange, it is very important that we "like" the person that we fall in love with. The initial romance may fade away, but what should remain is real love, trust and yes, like. If you don't like the person that you are with, than walk away. But if you do and know that your love and trust is strong, then take it to the next step. Introduce a new "romance" into your relationship and by that I mean actively become romantic with your partner; one of you has to take the first step and start new habits. When we are talking about a relationship, it just follows that at some point in the relationship it takes work to make it work. If that person really does mean that much to us, and it is worth it, we will take the time and work on the the relationship. No relationship is perfect and a "happily ever after" depends on compromise, reality and the type of attitude that you bring into it which will make it possible. If you are a negative person, it will never happen - but if you are a positive thinker and a positive doer? Then yes, I believe in happy endings. You reap what you sow.

Falling in love makes us really happy once we found the right one for us but its not really love only that we will have to run into this relationship...when we fall in love we need some trust as well, understanding, be honest , be caring, be thoughtful...so that when we fight to the core we know already how to adjust the temperature of that degree, we can cool it down and try to sort out the misunderstanding...once you can tackle all the unnecessary actions towards the relationship then you can handle the next episodes...being aware of whats going to happens is really a good moves...try to comprehend the misunderstanding and then apply what you guys had...the love that you shared.

forgive them. you cant change a person without a lot of hard work and why would you want to? Nobody is perfect. You could try:

1) avoid the arguements altoghether

2) if that cant be done, just agree with them or give in. It might be embarrassing but in the long run it'll pay off

3) find the good things in their faults, i mean nothing is completely bad right?

Thats all i can come up with, hope it helped xox

Be honest, trustworthy, understanding, loving, caring and yeah when youhad some problems dont let it get big be open minded show yur showmanship ...if you still love him /her fight for it no matter what...whatever your encountering right now is a part of growing up...a test of time so when love still there dont give up...share each others pain...i know love isnt enough but thats the main foundation to grow up...and further more hold hand in hand for the best !

Keep the lines of communication open. You have to know how to express your feelings and be a good listener. Good communication requires both the ability to express and listen.

Dont take your love one for granted...Express every day something you appreciate about her/him and how grateful you are to have him/her in your life.

Gauge your relationship.youhave to notice and don't ignore the warning signs if you're not talking, you're less affectionate,you're fighting all the time, and you're not happy. The sooner you acknowledge you're having problems, the sooner you can begin to solve them.

Give and take the main thing in keeping your love alive , you have to compromise in order to survive...its not the love alone that can be handled in this situation its being with each other on how you both can survive in a twisted sceneries...and make sure youre aware of all your actions.

You have to trust your partner in a way that same treatment will be delivered to you...just like zoobi yashmik said love aint enough...yeha thats true, if we love someone its not love who can make the relationship alive only its the caring the understanding the trusting...being honest and open to one another makes the world go round...make sure that you always give and take...little things makes fire so before it happened make sure you sort it out right away...
