Anyone who has had a long lasting relationship knows that it is not easy to keep up with it. With many disagreements and harsh arguments, it may seem that everything has gone beyond your control. However, it is not the end of the world.
 
If you are in love with a person and are looking forward to a future with them, here are some qualities of long-lasting relationships:
 
Acceptance: Wondering what is the most effective quality of a lasting relationship? Acceptance is your answer. A couple who understands and accepts each other is the happiest of all. Everyone has certain short-comings, but rising above these shortcomings will show you that there is more to a person. To keep your love evergreen, you will need to accept your partner. And make them feel that you accept them.
 
Respect: There are disagreements in every relationship. There is no perfect relationship. It is essential for you to speak up about what bothers you, be it a habit of theirs or company, you have the right to talk about it. But while doing so, you do not get to disrespect the other person. Find a way to politely talk about what affects you. Come to a middle ground, where both of you are comfortable.
 
Trust: This is one of the biggest problems most couples face. Remember that there is no relationship without trust. Trusting your partner with not only your emotions and happiness but also with your weaknesses is the first step towards a long lasting relationship. Trust helps you build each other, and this helps you share your problems as well as your thoughts with each other, thereby bringing you two closer. And if you are close with your partner, there is nothing that you should fear.
 
Commitment: Flirting, talking and randomly having fun is all accepted for a while, but when things get serious, both men and women need a commitment. If you plan on sticking around, you need to show it with your actions. Make sure that your partner understands that you want to be with them. A relationship is built on many commitments after the initial one of staying together, so make sure you are clear on that and help your partner feel what you feel through your actions and words.
 
Forgiveness: Relationships that lack forgiveness are bitter and eventually fade away even if the couple still has feelings for each other. The paramount of any relationship is forgiveness. Every person makes mistakes, and when two people take a journey together, they are bound to disagree on different things. Although these issues are not completely avoidable, there is always a scope of forgiveness. Make sure that you voice out your problems and what bothers you before moving on. Forgive humanly mistakes and make sure that your love life does not get affected due to random problems that do matter.
 
For a long-lasting relationship, you will need to move past the simple things to talk about with a girl or a boy and move to other effective things.
