Are there secrets to a long and lasting relationship? Are those couples that seem to have been together forever doing something different than those that don't last quite as long? Romantic qualities are often considered the cornerstone of a healthy, happy and longlasting relationship. Are these the only things necessary to keep a relationship strong and alive? Yes, these characteristics are important but there is another trait that is necessary to keep the relationship functioning. <br>Consider a successful business model; one that has been around for quite awhile and that has been profitable. These types of businesses possess certain qualities and characeristics that are necessary for their survival. One of the most important features of a successful business is teamwork. Everyone involved is working for the common good of the business to make and keep it profitable. If there is a breakdown in the business system then there will be a plan in place to address it and correct it.<br>A relationship can be thought of in the same way. If boyfriend and girlfriend, husband and wife are not working for the common good of the relationship, as a team, then what will happen when you are faced with a stressful situation? If you are not on the same page as your partner then you will likely not have a plan in place to deal with those less than romantic situations. This is an area that many couples will not actively think through and when faced with problems they become less effective as a couple which can be devastating in the long run.<br>Can you prepare your relationship or yourselves to avoid this pitfall? You can and you should. To say that you need to openly communicate with your partner would be cliche but it is necessary. Talk through potential problem situations and how you think they should be handled and compare to your partner's thoughts. Develop a plan of action that you can fall back on when these situations arise. The results of this could be the difference of having a long-lasting relationship or one that falls to pieces.<br>Talk is good. Talk and action can be better. Why not test how well you work with your partner? Start simple like throwing a dinner party. Each partner will have different tasks that they are responsible for coordinating. When the task is complete sit down and compare notes. How well did you both do? Do you see how this type of planning can help you recognize potential problems and address them before they become unmanageable?
