Trust, respect, communication, listening, giving positive and loving support, valuing time together, prioritizing each other above other people. Being able to forgive each other when there's been a problem, and knowing how to apologize.
A healthy and giving sex life is important (for both), but not at your age... I'd add being selfless, and taking care of yourself (your partner needs to take care of themselves- that's NOT your job).

 You have to maintain a few different things in order to have a long love. First, you have to be respectful of each other. If you don't respect his thoughts and feelings, he may feel like you don't want who he is. Second, you must trust each other. You have to believe in him, and he has to believe in you. Third, you can't be uncomfortable around him. Express yourself! Guys tend to feel special when their girl shows that she loves him. If you hide, he may think you are uneasy around him. Finally, you must work together. Compromise different problems and settle them based on both of your ideas. There should never be a "boss" in a relationship!--Keira--

It becomes a lot easier with a bit of maturity, so don't expect it straight away.
Your first love will hardly ever be your only love, but because it hits you so hard, you think it's going to last for ever.
So once you've had a few boyfriends, and know what you want from a man, you can find one who will live up to your expectations long term.
No marriage is good all the time and I found it really hard to accept that bad time will happen and feelings will fade. But if you make changes and put effort in to keep the romance then they will come back again.
It's also very very very important to have your own lives. Have your own friends and spend time apart.
Don't ever forget that you have other options and so does he. That way you both work a bit harder to remind him that you are the sexiest women out there, and he has to remember he's the man in your life and has a lot to live up to.
Good Luck!! xx
