Incidentally - can I just mention that the surfing picture in the article, by Arnaud Bertrande is fantastic!

Having nice knockers, like the woman in the yellow dress, above, can add to a good relationship, too.

I totally agree with you. I myself have been married three times and been divorced twice. I hope I can maintain this relationship for good now. There are things that we often neglect and an “autopilot” marriage is surely the path, one must not go.

have a nice day.

@Ramtsam - it’s great to hear about relationships that last the test of time, very encouraging. Thanks for your input!

@Squawkfox - Hmm I’m envious of your comment on snowballs - I live on the sunshine coast in Australia - about as far away from snow as you can get! But I guess we have beautiful beaches, so that’s something! Thanks for your comment - it’s good to hear from people who enjoy their relationships!

My hubby and try and do a physical activity everyday - like walking, hiking, biking, or snowshoeing in the Winter. Going for a simple walk or throwing snowballs at each other can really introduce (or keep) some fun and play in a relationship. In the Summer, every Saturday, we go for a long bike ride just to enjoy the sunshine and each others company, without the grind of housework or careers weighing on our minds.

It is well said ‘Great relationships don’t happen by fluke. Put some effort into your relationships, and reap some great rewards’. We had on several occasions breaking away. By some effort we have lived together for 30 years and hope to have it for several more years.

Howdy folks..!

@Bunny - Totally, I like the idea of bringing fresh new things to the table - keep things alive, don’t get stale!

@Laurel - It always amazes me how this can happen in long term relationships - it makes me wonder if everyone reaches a point in their lives when they say “you know what - my life’s not far from being over! I better go try all the things I missed out on (including a new partner!)” Hopefully it’ll never happen to me - I can’t imagine it ever would!

@Clara - I’ve been in this very situation! - shuffling in with my tail between my legs & apologising about something or other… It’s good to be reminded that relationships need work and attention! Thanks for the comment…
