Glamour Magazine asked guys “What was the final straw in your last relationship?”

The top answers:

1: She hates my mother
2. She hates my dog
3. She doesn’t baby me enough when I’m not feeling well
4. She does embarrassing things when she drinks too much

How To Make Love Last

How To Make Love Last(From Glamour)

Once a week...

-- Fight (a little). Keep little things from growing out of proportion by fighting it out.
-- Compliment each other. Try daily to notice something worth a mention.
-- Let something go. There's stuff that matters...and there's stuff that will drive you nuts forever -- try to let one go.
-- Laugh really hard. Laughter is a relationship's Krazy Glue: It bonds you.

Once a month..
-- Be do-gooders. Helping out together (even just to assist a pal) highlights common values and will bring you together.
-- Talk about money. Whether it's 'Should we open a joint account?' or just 'Hey, let's split the bill tonight.'
-- Declare something strictly between the two of you. Whether it's a silly nickname or a bedroom mishap, share something intimate that stays only with the two of you.

Once a year...
--Take on a project. Restore an old car, or put up shelves
-- team projects are great relationship cement.
-- Get a dog. Or at least a plant. Care for a living thing that can grow with your relationship.
-- Confess. Wanna be President? Have a dark family secret? If you can't tell your partner, how much of a partner do you have?
