long lasting love

As i see around ,read observe  people, irrespective of relationships... i collate a possible list of what could be lead long lasting love between any 2 people ..

long lasting love = not only commitment, shared interests, unselfishness, physical attraction, communication but also possibly a sum of

• 1.       a certain look which sets the pulse racing
• 2.       to be still able to have fun and share a laugh
• 3.       ability to have/ spark some spontaneous good times
• 4.       enjoy simply being together. 
• 5.       there are surprises
• 6.       there is understanding of each other’s need for space to be one-self
• 7.       there is sharing of chores..but more of ideas, thoughts, dreams, desires
• 8.       there is forgiveness
• 9.       there is sensitivity to be moved by the small emotions of life we see around
• 10.   there is faith in god, in each other and the goodness of humanity, of hope
• 11.   finally, there is knowing of each other’s habits. 

i guess love lasts because it is comfortable and simple ; if it is real, the heart will make it plain and simple.
