As the thread starter, I'll say that anti fishstick's answer most agrees with me. I've had the same experience with someone using the word 'Love' as an excuse for not doing their share of work in the relationship. I've also had the experience of having a 5 year relationship not work out with someone that I loved because we didn't have a common vision of the future.
So I guess it's my view the 'love conquers all' idea is nieve in someway, expoused by people who don't know how much work/how hard a long relationship is.
Which is why I asked for the opinion of the more experienced around here. I guess I was also looking for personal stories more than lists. What has worked? What hasn't?
Maybe I should have posted this as a poll for people who have been in >10 year relationships.
