I remember back in the day when I used to go on /r/relationships a lot and I would just read about all the crazy relationships people be having and I think to myself, "I'm glad I'm not dealing with any of what they're dealing with."  LOL. 

Some people seem to think that I shouldn't be giving any relationship advice because I've never been in a long term relationship.  My advice is wait for the right one to do a long term relationship with and don't waste time on temporary long term relationships.  That's why I haven't been in any long term relationships because I only want to be in a long term relationship with my future husband who things will work out with.  I also put my faith in God for things to work out on God's timing.  I don't try to force things at the wrong time and I go with the flow. 

A lot of relationships fail because people have different religious and different political beliefs.  I knew of two couples that got divorced just over politics which was a stupid reason to leave someone.  Apparently, the people who wanted to leave over politics forgot their vows.  That's why I always told myself I always wanted to find someone exactly like myself who has my same core values, same religious and same political beliefs.  Most of all, I wanted to be with someone who is not into politics because I don't want to waste my breath on politics.  After all this time, all the posts and pages I made about politics only very few listened to me and I'm not a fool to be taken by the media.  I know who is actually telling the truth and who isn't telling the truth in politics so it just baffles me when some former friends didn't listen to me and they would rather listen to their media overlords than me. 

I know a couple who is the complete opposite of each other and they seem to make it work, but the one thing that's worked for me in this long distance relationship is putting my trust in God for it to work out.

It took us years to find each other and we found each other when we're both ready to be married -- not while we were still dating and figuring things out. 

I always prayed for a man who will always choose me the way I will always choose him because in some scenarios, people leave their partner for their partner's best friend and drama like that happens -- when a man chooses me and when I choose him we don't have that drama in our relationship and we still keep our good friends who we can trust who won't do us in that way.

It also helps to have the relationship work when we don't have backstabbing friends trying to sabotage our relationship and they support our relationship.  I drop kicked any female who thinks she'll still be my friend when I find out she's drooling over my future husband/husband.

What makes for a healthy relationship?  It's nice to have similar goals and similar good habits.

I always wanted someone who works hard just like me because I don't want to have to take care of an over grown baby as if it was a man child who needs a house mom-girlfriend to feed him.  We both take care of ourselves and don't need each other for material things but only for company.

I've noticed a lot of relationships fail when people are only with someone because they can't afford to find their own place or they just want free meals -- superficial reasons to be with a person.

I have a friend who was married to a guy for years and he cheated on her with a co-worker and now she can't leave his house they both got together because she's a house wife.  I told myself I never want to be in that situation -- that's why I prayed for a husband who is committed to our future family and if something should happen I have my own place and I have my own income.  I will never be dependent on anyone for monetary and housing needs.  If we get a house together it's because we want to get a house together, not because one of us can't afford a house.  I'm still paying rent even when I'm living with a relative.  I'm not living here for free. 

Another friend of mine's wife who is a house wife got lucky with a husband who is devoted to her because she doesn't work and just stays at home with the kid but if anything ever happened she wouldn't have her own place to go to after that and I don't want to find myself in that situation that's why I always pride myself in having my own income and not having my husband buy everything for me.

We're very devoted to each other -- especially sticking it out in this gruesome long distance so hopefully things will work out with each other like we both hope because we're both tired of dating boring people who we aren't feeling at all and we finally found each other who we are really, really into.
