Communication. We’re all tired after a long day, but "How was work, honey?" doesn't really count as communication. True communication involves sharing your feelings with your significant other, and being open and receptive when they share theirs. A lack of this sort of open and honest communication is a huge reason why many relationships don't last.

Compromise. It's a big one, and it's not always easy, but compromising is without a doubt one of the most important aspects to a long lasting relationship. Compromise doesn’t just mean settling on which movie to watch, it means ensuring that your life goals and priorities are aligned for the long term, and a lack of compromise can often mean a couple’s undoing.

Compatibility. Last but not least, and this one has a lot to do with compromise, ensuring your wants, needs, and goals are compatible with those of your partner is essential for the long term success of any relationship.
