I’ve had the topic of relationships going in my head for a couple of months now.  I’ve been with my significant other for 2 years (June 2nd) and although we’re going through a pretty rough, rocky time I am still working my ass off in making it succeed and so is he.  Of all topics that humans deal with, relationships seem to be one of the hardest topics to understand.  Why?  Well, it seems with my own personal examples, whenever you have to seek answers outside of yourself and your partner, you get so many conflicting answers from people.  Some say to do this, others say to do that.  Some say if he/she doesn’t say or do this, then he/she doesn’t love you.  Others say that’s simply not true.

So I want something in writing.  I want to know what makes YOU and YOUR relationship tick.  And if you’re single now, give me an example of when you were in a relationship and what worked (or what didn’t work might be a better answer).

I want to do a little project with you, my awesome and educated readers.  Please leave a comment below and answer this following question:

In a relationship, what is the one thing that keeps it going? (alive, working, longterm, thrive, survive)?  Give me your one answer and feel free to elaborate.  I will be forever indebted to you!
