Long Term Relationships. ~

Katie here. (:

Only reason there are short term relationships is when people don't really realize what they want, yet. Or haven't met the person that they can make long requirements with.
Usually, my parents say that relationships are best made out of with best friends... or someone you've known for a long time, because you've seen that person in every situation, anger, happiness, sadness, and experienced all kind of things with them, yet you know how to deal with them, how to help them, and really know how to do things. Long term relationship requires BOTH sides to understand the true reasons for long commitment. But, don't get me wrong. You can ALSO have long term relationships with people that you just met, or have gotten to know over time... but really, the trick is... just know WHY you want long term relationship; AKA; marriage, spending your life with that person for eternity, want compassion, want to be passionate, want to know love. etc. And sticking to those goals. Trust me... changing those goals, once you meet someone "amazing" yet they have different perspective, different goals... You can still love that person, and appreciate that they have their own goals, but if it doesn't fit in with yours, it won't work. AT ALL. Not even if you guys last for a long time, the ending won't be pretty.
