Could you share with us your points of view regarding these factors? I, for one, would like Trust be the number one Factor in having a good, strong and loving relationship. Another is that you should started your relationship as friends...it would be better if the relationship started as being Best Friends then turned to Lovers and Partners in Life.

hi kulit, I agree with you that trust is one good ingredient to have a strong and lasting relationship.In fact, love cannot live without trust. A relationship full of doubt, will never attain true happiness and peace. It will always result to arguments and fights that will ruin the relationship.You have also a point in stating that relationship must be started first with friendship. However, we cannot generalize that all relationship that started with friendship first become successful.I think, it depends on both lovers.Sometimes, even both of them spend so many years as friends, it is not a guarantee that they will have a strong and lasting relationship. For me, if both the man and the woman are really meant for each other, then even if they started as friends or not,in the end, they will still be together. In addition to what you mentioned, I will say communication is a must too. There must always be a contact between the two of them no matter what. Secrets must be avoided as much as possible in order to be fair.If there is an open communication, then misunderstandings and other negative things in things in relationship can be prevented.They can talk things right away and then make an agreement to the what is and what isn't must be done must be done in relationship.It is very important factor for understanding to be take its place always.

In order to have a good, strong relationship that is full of love, both partners must respect each other. They must trust each other. They must be honest with each other. They must accept each other. They must learn to communicate with each other and be willing to understand each other. They should respect the rules of not going to bed mad because we never know what the next day will bring. Our partner should be our best friend as well as our lover. They should support each other. They should encourage each other. They should listen to each other. They should comfort each other. They should be able to laugh together, cry together, feel together. They don't necessarily have to agree on all things but they should be willing to find a common ground together so that they are both happy. At the same time, they should be able to sacrifice for each other. They should help each other out. They should be faithful to each other. Above all, they should love each other.

I think trust yes it is very important especially this days, people are getting hard to trust each others. Just to love maybe doesn't really need trust but to have a strong and good relationship, yes you have to trust your partner... you have to trust that he or she does care and loves you as much as you care and loves him/her

there are so many factors in having a strong, good relationship.i rank the and get the first one:helpful.yeah, maybe you can't agree with me, but i think it's the central point of keeping relationship well.everyone need help, no matter he is rich or poor, happy or sad, sick or health, one can't get all of this, so if one short something, they will go out oneself to find help,this is the essential of relationship. lol, this is my thought, hope it can be helpful!
