What do you think is important to make people stay together long term?

I would say similar values, a reliable living environment, similar lifestyles, mutual respect, etc…

• Trust.
• Respect
• Good communication.
• Honesty. Don't hide things from them.
• Trust your partner
• Support them when they need it
• Never going to bed angry. Never crossing the line where your partner ends up feeling disrespected or accused.
• Keep making efforts to keep the spark alive as constant efforts makes your partner feel that you still cherish them. Whether it's showing appreciation when your partner did something for them or you cook something for them or get the thing they'd be interested in or so things you're not interested in like going to a particular place or watch a certain things because your partner is excited about it.
• Wanting same things in life. Same future goals, sharing dreams together or you'll have conflicts in future and will have to go separate ways.

Always make sure you spend some quality time with your partner even if you're busy so they don't feel taken for granted

I think these are some things that makes relationships healthy and make people want to stay together long-term.

I think having similar values is as important as having open and honest communication.

People should not be made to stay together if they do not want to. Marriage should not be a prison sentence/
