I don’t believe there are any key points or elements that can really make a relationship successful. There’s tons of advice thrown at “one” via magazines and blogs and “Dr. Phil…” (Of course) But just the fact that your trying to make your relationship successful, kind of sounds like you’ve already miserably failed. What does success in relationship mean? And what constitutes a successful relationship? Is there like a handbook or bible on relationships. We’re all unique on our own so every single two people that hook up experience a completely different thing, sure their maybe similarities, but still not the same.

I feel that before you even begin to think of making your relationship successful, you should be asking yourself why do you need it to be a success? It’s not your job, or a mission/project or some kind of experiment where you should feel pressured to coming up on top. When you find someone you can connect with both physically and mentally it’s success enough. How you keep this going on for an indefinite amount of time should be your goal and by ripping off this misconception that “relationships should be successful” is the first step.

As long as you feel like you’re two peas in a pot, you’re in the best place you can be. Don’t allow drifting apart to commence by superficial and unrealistic expectations. Have each others back and love and fight hard. Respect each other and each others’ interests, space and opinions. Nothing is ever going to be 100 % but you can bet your butt that if you keep things simple as they were when you first met, you’ll surely have a “happily ever after.” Isn’t that enough of a success?
