Practical Tips for a Long Relationship
 

Munki and I met in high school, and have been together for over 7 years. We still have a lot of fun together, so I thought it might be cool to share some insight on keeping things happy and hott.

1. We're always taking showers together. It's great, at least 15 minutes or more, a daily dose of wet naked time, it always gets us through the day feelin' happy and relaxed. Oh, and when there's time, bathtub blow-jobs are the best!

2. We try to deal with our shit with each other ASAP. If you runaway you'll end up confiding in friends or family which greatly impacts their (one-sided) opinion of your spouse, which sucks later when everything is peachy again.

3. We don't go to sleep mad. Everyone's heard this suggestion, but really, we're both already grouchy in the morning and it's much worse when you wake up pissed off. There is only the exception when we're drunk, we usually can't even remember what we were fighting about the next day anyway.

4. Birth-Control, it's free in the US, no excuses...take it and take it right.

5. Avoid getting married. If you must, do live together for a long, long time.

Anyone else got any tips?

1- Make sure the girl leaves after you have sex

2- make sure you get to know her friends

3- I am sexy

Do you post on newbienudes? lol

good tips! however i think on GFY theres not many peeps with GF's or BF's...

Don't aruge.

My wife and I have been together for about sixteen years. We don't argue at all. If we have a discussion and we disagree, we both back away and revisit it later.

We've only had one arguement ( July 2nd, 2006) and that's that. Yes, I remembered the date.

You'd be surprised... I know I have been...

Don't do nudes...not for the public at least:winkwink:

What makes you say that?

It seems most of the people I know in this industry are married.

Excellent advice!

Don't mistake not going to bed mad for comprimising because you're facing a deadline, though. I've fallen into that trap with an ex, and it turned into him saying "we have to keep talking until you agree with me because we can't go to bed mad at each other."

Being upset with someone is just one small battle. There are MANY battles in a war. Its ok to lose a few every now and then. Apparently your ex didn't realize this, thus being an ex. :-)

Oh crap:Oh crap, you're onto me...

:disgust:disgust

We are pretty good about hashing things out... and you have to have respect for the system... if either party abuses it... it won't work.

Don't live together..everybody needs their space at times

my best tip

ALWAYS Leave the money ontop of the desk.. ALWAYS...

too late

You guys look young and cute. Enjoy it and keep up what you are doing for as long as you can. We have all been there.

Now here's my tips:

-Make a lot of money and let her spend it
-Learn how to instinctually say 'yes honey' (even if you don't mean it)
-Cut down on 'guy time'
-Make more money
-Pay attention when she is talking and remember if she asks you to do anything
-Help out around the house
-Be a good Dad & Husband.
-Marry a wild girl so you can still go out and have fun once in a while.

Seriously, I have a great marriage but it takes a lot of work.

Is that the day she forgot to stock the Jager cabinet? I think it was in the news...:)

Nice tips.. I do hope that will work best for everybody!:)

I agree with this 100%. Especially the pay attention and remember part.

:zzwhipDamn!!! You really got this down. Thanks for sharing:winkwink:

1) Earn money.
2) Compromise
3) Earn more money.

very very good advice :) Thanks

Reality baby. Now go and take care of your man.

:thumbsup:thumbsup

get her to like ass to mouth.

:disgust:disgust

I have the same experience

This month it'll be 15 years of marriage for me...

best piece of advice I can give...in two parts

1) get real into understanding the other person's headset (compassion for other than self)

and

2) realize that life is short, make sure YOU are happy...there is often a way to include someone else in your happiness...

:pimp

I was married for 8 years until I became a widow and we went nearly five years of our marriage without a single fight. It was a pretty big event when it did happen but largely I agree..if there is too much fighting it should be a sign anyway.

:(I'm sorry for your loss, he sounds like a really awesome guy.

Thanks for the tip:thumbsup WooHoo! 15 years...you gonna celebrate?

lots of good advice here!

it's not that hard.. my wife is always right... and we are both happy :)

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Thanks..he was :) Though part of the reason we didn't fight much is that I knew he would win! lol.

just curious.... why do you say to avoid getting married?

I've been married for 32 years and been quite happy with it :winkwink:
JFK might even say the same thing :1orglaugh

Marriage to the right person is great..if you are going to be together marriage certainly isn't going to stop that.

I agree, and I also know marriage isn't for everyone. To each their own. I was just curious why Munki's Girl said to avoid marriage.

Cute couple! :thumbsup

very nice helpful tips..the third one is so damn true..it's already proven...thanks for sharing!!

good points! you, two, also look good together, hope you'll have each other for another 7 years and more to that!

You betcha!

Just remember every day, it could be your last...make it a good one.

When problems or fights pop up -- and oh they will -- is it REALLY that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things?

For that have health issues that indicate time is running out it's easier to maintain this perspective...you don't have to wait until you're there to 'get it'

I agree with number 2 completely. If something is bothering you, say it right then and there and don't let it go un said. I also agree with the birth control thing. Best invention EVER.

just say no... then there is no problem.

Says the guy about to get MARRIED. :thumbsup :1orglaugh:1orglaugh




Ananda

nice inputs in here...thanks for sharing.

I've been with my bf for 5 years now and we've been thru a lot. I guess understanding each other's need is also one of the things that couples should look after. not only one sided...

Exactement :)

Haha, no offense, I have a lot of respect for marriage.

In my generation, marriage seems to be tainted. We dealt with the trauma of watching our parents (damn baby boomers) get divorced. Personally, both of my biological parents are still married (30yrs), I stuck out like a sore thumb growing up, I didn't know anyone else who's parents were still together.

I also had a few friends divorced by 22, most married due to teenage pregnancy. There's no good reason to rush into marriage, and plenty of good reasons to wait.

I'm not anti-marriage by any means, and I hope to do so myself one day:winkwink: I do believe it's forever, even if ya have to wait forever to confirm that's correct.

My boyfriend and I have been together since high school too. This August will be our 10th anniversary. We always try to compromise. Even though I don't agree with some of the things he says or does, I still respect the way he feels. Oh, and lots of great sex too, that's always necessary!

:winkwink::winkwink::winkwink:Well said, and congrats!
