There Is A Truths No One Tells You About Long-Term Relationships ~LTR (That's Why So Many Partnerships End)

Long-term relationships, or LTR’s, are what many of us search for, but something few of us can sustain in the long run. It often seems there’s a secret to getting through the rough patches of a marriage or LTR once the honeymoon phase is long gone. Even in the case of true love, we find that there is far more involved in learning how to get love to last for the long-term.

The trouble that most people struggling to keep a positive relationship afloat face is failing to understand that no long term relationships are perfect. All romantic relatinoships require consistent work, no matter how well-matched two partners may be. For those of us wondering how to make it through those rough patches, it helps to know the basic truth about long-term romances. Read on to see what truths most people have to learn the hard way about making it work.



IT’S PERFECTLY NORMAL TO QUESTION YOUR LTR

“When true love finds you, you’ll know it”. That is the common misconception that ruins so many good relationships. It’s part of human nature to ask questions, so it makes perfect sense that you may have a little doubt about whether or not you should be with your significant other maybe even major doubt. When the doubt creeps in every now and then, know that it is healthy, and normal. If you are having persistent doubts that are difficult to shake, however, it may be time to address those concerns with your significant other.

YOU’LL BE ATTRACTED TO OTHER PEOPLE AND EVEN TEMPTED  A BIT.
Being in love doesn’t automatically shut down what makes you attracted to other people. Though your feelings of happiness may be true, it won’t prevent temptation from creeping into the mix. It is common for people in a LTR to be attracted to others and even develop a crush from time to time. Keep your eyes open and be honest with yourself and your lover. By firmly establishing yourself as committed to your partner, you will be ready to fight whatever temptation comes your way.

YOU MAY GET “BORED” IN YOUR LTR
When you think about all the adventurous antics of your single days, the steady, day-to-day sameness of your romantic life can seem a bit boring. This is one of the biggest secrets of the long-term life– your romantic partnership will be boring more often than not. It’s no surprise that the heightened excitement, lust, and passion of a new romantic interest is seemingly more interesting than the same person over 15 - 25 years, but there is much more to a romance than escaping boredom. As you work towards strengthening your relationship, you’ll realize that your focus is on building a positive future, rather than reveling in the constant uncertainty that short-term flings provide. With the right person, you will be able to find happiness and excitement throughout your daily lives.

 VULNERABILITY IS BEST
The best experience you can have in a LTR is truly being known and loved anyway. The truly vulnerable moments where you and your S.O. both know each other’s deepest identities can only be experienced in a romance. It can be scary to get this close to someone, but it’s the only way to deepen your L.T.R. and make it last long term.

 FIND WAYS TO BE INDEPENDENT IN YOUR LONG TERM RELATIONSHIPS
A new lover can feel like a whirlwind, making you want to stay with your loved one every waking moment. As your LTR wears on, however, you’ll realize the need for your own interests and space. Be sure to keep your other hobbies alive and well, making them a regular part of your life. By nourishing these outside interests, you’ll be able to keep your romance from being stifled or getting jealous when your significant other is spending time with their own hobbies.


Final thoughts

"If ever you are in my arms again."

Even LTR have expiration dates. Don't assume it's forever, until death do you part. That romantic forever after sounds great but that may not be in the cards you and your partner were dealt. You may just get to a point were 25 or even 50 years might be were you take note of the expiration date/time and call it quits . Unless you make divorce a never ever consideration. So make it as great as possible while it lasts....

Lift her up,
and never "put her down!"
