One of the biggest reasons that a man and a woman don't stay together is because some women don't know how to keep a man in a relationship.

A man will stay with a woman longer because there are certain qualities about her that he appreciates. These are things that a woman should heed to if they are looking for a long lasting union.

Here are seven proven ways that a union can stay together for a long time:

1. She knows how to look sexy for him, but doesn't look like a
whore. She can get the attention of other men, but as long
as she knows that she attached, it's not a problem. A woman
needs to make sure that she is the center of the man's
attention. A definite no-no: do not playfully tease his
other male friends, especially in front of him.

2. A woman will demand respect from a man. She should not be
anxious or desperate to have sexual relations with him so
soon. This makes the man think that she is too easy to
pursue. This is something that she should not rush into at
all. Plus, if he really cared for her, he would not pursue
it, either.

3. Speaking or pursuits, she should not go after a man. Instead,
allow a man to go after her. Allow him to do the calling, etc.
A woman should not get needy and try to find out where he is
all of the time. He will make time to see her if he is really
interested.

4. Don't embarrass him in front of anyone. Don't make cutting
remarks to him in front of others. Not only is it embarrassing
for him, it can be embarrassing for her as well. If she feels
the need to straighten him out, it should be done privately
between the two.

5. A woman should not revolve her life around a man. This means
not to act needy around him. She should not cling to him all
of the time. Some men appreciate being around, but realize
that they have a life outside of the relationship. When men
sense that a woman is being needy and desperate, he will find
his way out of her life. She must include other things such
as hobbies and going out with other people to keep her busy.

6. She should not be headstrong when it comes to marriage and
babies. At the time, he may not be ready for those things.
On the other hand, she should not wait until she's an old
maid, either. If she feels he's taking a while after several
years, then she needs to move on.

7. Surprise a man by making him dinner, preferably with
candlelight. She should not always want him to take
her out to dinner and spend money all of the time. Set
up a nice picnic with just him and her. Spend some
quality time together.

He will feel satisfied and happy once she starts to implement some of these things. This will make him show more appreciation and affection towards her.
