I firmly believe that in any relationship, 3 key ingredients are needed. Communication, deep sense of respect and understanding. Love is the product of these three. Problems always come and go in any relationship and that's why an open communication is very vital. When both partners don't open up with each other, secrets and mistrust builds up. And this is where respect and understanding are put to the test. How can one still maintain his or her respect for someone who keeps secrets from them? And when mistrust enters the picture, every little move or word is highly doubted. It's really hard to keep understanding a partner whom you have a hard time trusting. And eventually, when all three ingredients are gone, there is no love left at all.

Sometimes even if we say that there should be understanding in a relationship, I guess this would still vary as how deep is the understanding of your partner. Don't you think if we tell our dark secrets to our partners, there would be a possiblity of rejection and may even lead to a break up?

There are times that the more we hide our secrets from our partners, the more that we are making a situation that is much more difficult to handle. Wouldn't you agree that most people feel cheated because their partners refused to give them a chance to understand their partners fear of being honest with them? They are more angry and hurt. And this is when distrust comes because they will never get over the fact that there are more secrets that their partners are hiding from them. And that they will eventually have to find out from others. Being honest really frees a person from the burden of being have to be on guard at all times with their secrets. There are also times that being honest, helps a relationship be more mature and are more capable of coping up with future problems.

unprtending love, care, honesty and sublime trust that cements the party into one soul. These are the ingredients of a relationship that I believe, is as good today as they have been thousands of yeaars of humanity.

i think the core of a relationship is trust. you can love someone all you want, but if you don't trust them, all is lost. lots of couples break up for one reason or another and still love each other. i'm having that problem now. i love my husband with all my heart, but he has crushed my trust and now i don't know what to do.

if trust has been broken in a relationship yet love is still between the couples, would you think you can build trust in the relationship once more? if you love someone, are you willing to forgive the person with all your heart because you love him or her?

Yes friend. I agree with you. The core of relationship is love. It also has to do with care, regards, longsuffering lots more. Relationship is important to me because I learn so much from people most especially knowing what and what they don't like as well as share thoughts with each other. Unfortunately, people take it to be something els. People take relationship to cheat people most especially using net. Thanks and have a nice day.

love maybe the core of a relationship but if you believe that one takes a relationship as a means of cheating in whatever means, i guess, before you engaged in a relationship, make sure that the person you like would have the same values or principles of life like yours. how can you be sure that it is really love you have in a relationship if you have different views about it?
