How I did it: A strong foundation based on mutual values and interests, as well as a commitment by us both to constantly making the relationship stronger by working out issues together. 

Lessons & tips: Be sure to know what you're looking for - in the short and long term - and ensure your significant other shares the same direction in life. Similar values are essential to keeping lives aligned and working things out. Be completely honest and open with one another. Make sure you both share the same level of commitment to the relationship.

Resources: Check out the Five Languages of Love (a book); it helped us recognize our own needs within the relationship and discover ways to speak each other's "love language"
