Dating Experts Reveal Three Simple Secrets To Long-Lasting Love - The List

In a long term relationship, it's easy to become passive and take your partner's love and commitment for granted. Through the hustle and bustle of life, you can kind of get used to the sweet or supportive things they say and do for you, but it's vital to remain appreciative.

Many relationships end because one partner feels taken advantage of or not prioritized (via Bustle). For many, this is a relationship dealbreaker. People get complacent figuring their partner will always be there but once resentment sets in, it's very difficult to undo.

Myles Cohen, dating and transformation coach says both partners need to appreciate and value the relationship, "If you can both commit to the mutual goal of seeing your relationship as a third entity which needs to be nurtured and protected, you're both able to zoom out and see the bigger picture."

You and your partner should both feel seen and heard. Of course, there will be times when the frustration and chaos of life sets in and we all aren't perfect at this at times, but long term, taking care of your partner and supporting them mentally and emotionally is a non-negotiable. It shows that they are important to you, and that sets the stage for a lifetime of long-lasting love.
