It’s a no brainer that when it comes to love and relationships, we all want something that’s going to last. But even though wanting to be happy is a basic human instinct, making sure that we get there is easier said than done. After all, relationships are complicated enough when you have to worry about yourself, let alone be nervous about what your partner is feeling—There’s nothing worse than not knowing whether or not you are both on the same page.

That’s why we couldn’t help but hit the 2 minute benchmark TWICE when YourTango’s Senior VP Melanie Gorman, author Dr. Sue Johnson, Marriage/Couples Counselor Gal Szekely, LMFT Dr. Rita DeMaria, and LCSW Marni Feuerman discuss the different factors that go into making a relationship work (especially since there’s no question that all relationships take work). In our own experience, the major problem that we’ve run into is trying to figure out how to form concrete bonds without stressing over everything. But according to our experts, there are a few ways that we can make sure that we have a love that lasts a lifetime. To finally get a chance at having a smooth sailing relationship? We don’t know about you but we definitely like the sound of that!

ven though craving happiness is a part of being human, trying to figure out how to get it definitely isn’t always so clear cut. All of those movies make it seem as if being happy is incredibly easy, which just isn’t always the case—But we’re pretty sure that we all know this based on our own experiences. As crazy as it may sound, many people practically spend a lifetime in the pursuit of happiness. The problem is that figuring out where to even begin can sometimes make the journey feel so far away.

So is there seriously a key to happiness? And if there is, just what exactly do we need to change about our current lifestyle so we can start working on our happy ending?

According to author John Gray, there are actually quite a few simple ways to do this! Even though it may seem easier said than done, you have to remember that things that are worth fighting for take time. His spot-on advice on what we need to do to have have a happy life led us to a few questions of our own:

1. When was the last time you really looked at yourself in the mirror? And we’re not just talking about as part of your morning routine.

2. Can you honestly say that you are satisfied with everything in your life?
3. If you have a lot going on right now, can you pinpoint any ways that you may have inadvertenly contributed to the stress?

Genuine happiness definitely doesn’t happen overnight. But with John Gray’s tips, you’ll get there in no time at all!
