Long-Term
Relationships
Whether
you've been together for years, or you are in a relationship that you plan on
staying with for the long-term, this page is important for you. Over time, it is
safe to expect that there will be some ups and downs. However, couples tend to
experience similar problems after time that are addressed on IntimacyMatters.com.
If you'd like to learn more about common relationship problems please click

Money, Kids, & Sex Money
Once a couple has merged, often in the same physical
residence, and begins sharing some or perhaps all financial decisions, the
impact that you make upon each other becomes easily quantifiable. Perhaps you
place a different value on money. Money may be masking other issues in the
relationship or it may trigger intense feelings which also affect the
relationship. Often partners are trying diligently to get their partner to
understand their viewpoint. Visit www.WealthyRelationships.com

stages in life to improve your relationship and financial well-being. Kids
Sometimes the disagreement is about whether or not to have children, and if so, how
many. But once a child has come into a relationship and both of you are
responsible for the well-being of the child, feeling of love and acceptance
often fall right through the cracks when the relationship takes second seat to
the third person who has entered your relationship. Changes take place on
so many levels that it is impossible to understand it all at once. You've become
a parent, your partner has become a parent, and your family includes someone
with needs that are very different from your own. The adjustment period can be
intense. Ideas about what it means to be a mother or father, expectations of
yourself and your partner, and your general beliefs about family all enter into
each decision you make, even minor ones. And all of this happens in the midst of
physical, emotional, financial change.
Sex
Why does sex change so much once you've been together for a while? The simple
answer is that everything changes after a while. But how come it gets better for
some and worse for others? The answers are complex. One shift that affects the
large majority of couples who have been together for a long time, is a drop in
frequency. Many people experience this as a loss, a sign that their partner
isn't interested or attracted any more, To take the pulse of your
