Almost everyone dreams of it, many try it, and more than a few fail at it: carrying on a relationship over many years. Why do some succeed at it while others don’t? What are the secrets of long relationships? Love? Force of habit? Tolerance? Or is it just knowing how to act in the right situation: stressed-out women love to have their necks massaged in silence, while tensed-up men need to talk – and ideally to be in the right.
