One major factor poeole neglect when it comes to a long lasting relationship is understanding.
For a relationship to last and grow, but partners must be understand each other. You can love and care for your partner without understanding them and this can lead to regular misunderstanding which facilitates breakup.
Couples that want a long lasting relationship should endeavour to understand each other like their strengths, waekness,what makes your partner happy or angry, fears and any other trait that can strengthen a relationship.
It's due to lack of understanding that couples make this statement "I never knew you were like this".
When you understand your partner, it helps you relate with him/her better than you did before.
