What is most important things in a relationship?

trust and respect for each other..

trust and respect

Trust and Truth are two big ones for me. knowing he is there for me is also big. Doing things together,that he may like or I may like, sharing is key. Helping one another is also big.

communication is the most important thing in a relationship besides love and that doesn't just go for the romantic relationships it goes for all kinds even friendships. non communications leads to expectaions of the other person which leads to disappointments which leads to resentments which leads to the relationship ending. communication leads to either persons needs and wants and the or the abilities either person has of filling those needs or to at least understand those needs or wants. not all needs can be met by someone else tho sometimes they have to filled from within, but when you communicate those needs there is no disappointments if the other person does not meet them because they will have communicated which of the needs they are able to fill which ones they will try to fill and which ones that they don't think they can fill. therefore coming to an understanding and an ability to work thru the tough times instead of getting angry and throwing in the towel. me and my hubby communicate everything and even when the other person gets upset we always stop to try to understand and if we don't we ask questions. any problem in any relationship can be solved with honest communication.... with the exception of abuse..

They say that communication is the key for a successful relationship. I think that this is right and here are my reasons. First, without it, the progress of knowing each other will become slow. Isn't knowing each other more really helpful for relationship? Second, I also heard that we need to express what we don;t like so that it will be released and not keep it of ourselves. Keeping any hurt feelings will make us better as we grow, right? Plus, we cannot afford growing hatred to the ones we love. Surely, this pain will accumulate and we don't what it that way. Next, Smiling and anything else we do or share together is also considered communication right? If so, for example, one warm smile can turn on our partner and by doing it frequently, we make our bonding more stronger than ever. That is also why, I am told that good bye kisses are recommended to any partners out there. I hope that this short response will satisfy your discussion.

Sacrifice is important. Without sacrifice, a relationship cannot work and the reason why so many relationships fail is selfishness. In a relationship, one should be ready to sacrifice one's happiness also. If we are in a relationship in order to be happy, then we are mistaken. A relationship is in order to make the other person happy and not make ourselves happy.

Trust and mutual respect. I don't want anyone around that I can't trust and they need to show me respect as I show them the respect that they earn. Also I find that it helps my relationships a LOT if the person is interested in what I do. (I design and make teddy bears, and my BF is right there helping me out when he can)

Yes - this topic is actually very unique to each relationship, and sweeping generalizations do not apply. However, there can be no doubt that communication between a man and a woman, is one of the most important aspects of a relationship. If it is not the most important thing in your relationship, maybe it should be. Probably the most important (and positive) thing you can do while communicating, is learning how to listen to your mate. Men are notorious for mentally plotting their verbal comeback when they should be listening. This creates communication distance where one person won't comprehend what is being said since they are not truly listening. Don't interrupt. Interrupting is probably the most common grievance given by those experiencing communication disconnect in their relationships. When your mate is interrupted, she will feel unheard. A good strategy to follow, is to learn how to recognize your partner's signals for conversation shift. During your conversations, she may slow down when attempting to end her portion of the dialogue -- or she may attempt to pass control to you by asking a question.

This is very interesting post from you. Well, for me, the most important aside from love is respect and fear on the Creator. Respect is very essential because I believe that If you have the respect with your partner, you won't make a way, intentional or not to hurt him/her. You won't plan to cheat or do things which can lead to break up or what. And also fear to God is important because He needs to take control and be in the center of a relationship, so that no matter what happens, he will always be on those couples to guide and direct in every plan and path they will take.

Trust, faith and hope. In that order.
