No matter how young at heart you are, as you mature you will eventually long for a longer term relationship.

Long term relationships means that you now have accepted the responsibility to stay monogamous. There is no more fooling around with other women and being on the look out for another woman, especially if you are with her.

However, being monogamous does not mean that you have lost your freedom. Freedom is in the mind. But if you feel that you have lost your freedom, you need to question if it is your woman who is the insecure one and constantly needs the re-assurance and requirement that you to be there 24/7 OR indeed you are not ready for being one hearted.

Being in a monogamous relationship is very different and special to the usual, multiple relationships. Building a true one on one bond with the woman you love is special. From speaking to many women, I have found that women do try to change their man. But you may need to see them trying to make changes for the better, such as making us pick after ourselves. We men however, I have been told need to accept their woman as they are. We too can change them, but eventually they will become the woman that we longer have passion for.

Ask yourself if the woman you love will let you continue to have your own identity, appreciating your family and friends that you have, and not bad mouthing them. If she doesn't, you may need to re-assess the situation and have a serious chat and think. Long term, there will be a problem if this persists.

Being a man, we all have grand dreams and plans. That's just our nature. Does your woman support your dream? Or does she want you to constantly go out with her friends or take cooking classes with her?

Finally, one of the most important things I have found to maintain the passion in the relationship over the long term is to make sure you continue as if you are still dating. Always remember what you did when you were dating. From opening the car door for them, to the love notes and romantic candle lit dinners.

That way, passion is always alive and you will no longer be looking around for another woman to spice up your life as there is no need....
