Stages in love

First stage : I m happy as long as I m with u by my side. U are the most perfect person in my eyes

Second stage : U should be more this n that, things are not good this way, it will be better the other way, do this dun do that

Third stage : Do whatever you wan. I dun care anymore. Just dun step on my feet and over my head OR let break / get a divorce

This only happen to modern days boys and girls. I dun see that happening with my grandma n grandpa who has never even seen each other before they get married in a match-making ceremony. As much as they hate each other, they managed to be together for so many years till now living under the same roof all along. In the 20th century today, the divorce papers would have been signed long ago. What are the factors to a long lasting marriage many years down e road?

I only attribute it to 3 words: tolerance, patience and acceptance. Tolerating each other negative points with the patience of not flaring up whenever he or she do something you dislike and accepting the person for what he / she really is.
