What makes a great relationship?

I guess the main thing is any relationship is trust. You have to be able to trust your partner completely. With trust goes respect, without respect there is nothing.

I think to make a great relationship you need trust.You also need to be able to make each other laugh.If you can't make each laugh and smile there is no point. See I dont see how people who always fight can stay together.

Hi there friend.. thanks for opening this topic. Actually I don't know a lot of things about handling relationship. What I am going to say here is just a friendly advice on how to have a great relationship with your partner. In a relationship both of the couple must be fair with each other. A man and a woman who has an intimate relationship must be fair with each other they should practice give and take. Love is giving right?Another thing is we have to be honest to our partners but not all the times. There are times that we also have to keep something secret if we know that it would really hurt the feeling of our partner. However, we must find a chance to reveal that sectret to our partner. It is better for him/her to know that secret from us than she/he will discover it. Always be faithful, love each other like the way you fell inlove with each other. LOve your partner more than you did yesterday... In that way your relationship will last longer.

Accepting each other's moles, giving each other space, trust and understanding are some of the features that can ensure a good relationship. This celebrity couple loved each other dearly. While his hobby was gardening she was a perfect housewife. He would just walk in wipe his dirty oily hands having just come out of the garage on to her crisp white lace curtains she had just put up to welcome some special guests. She would ask if potatoes grew on trees with such diverse interests it is reported in his biography that he had uttered the words 'I love you' almost 2000 times over!!

For me, it is complementing each other. Being able to make you complete that without him or her, you feel an emptiness inside as if you're not the same person without it.

First of all its starting to know your partner in different ways. It's understanding their interests, talking when possible but also having you time. It's knowing what your partner is like for example, going to ask him question but stop yourself because you already know what he's going to say. Important factors of any relationship is 1. Trust - trusting each other so your not feeling paranoid 2. Honesty - if the person is dating you then they like you, no need to lie 3. Respect - respect their life morals and needs 4. Generosity - to be generous you will receive 5. Love!!! :) 6. Me time - accepting that once in a while you need alone time

I think you need to be friends before you become more than that. Mind you, I haven't been in a relationship but I do know about friendship. I've posted about relationships between men and women here: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1814327.aspx?p=1#1_10173591
