Love is like a seed. You plant it, care for it, nurture it and it grows. It should follow that as that plant grows, you develop trust, loyalty and faithfulness. Take care of that love and all else follows. If a relationship is full of mistrust then if you analyze it, it's not love at all.

lOVE IS IMPORTANT IN A RELATIONSHIP BUT I THINK TO MAINTAIN A RELATIONSHIP STRONG YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND YOUR PARTNER TRY TO LITTLE THINGS THAT WILL MAKE HIM/HER HAPPY .. LIKE FOR EXAMPLE TRY TO COOK FROM TIME TO TIME DISHES THAT HE/SHE LIKES EVEN THG ITS NOT YOUR FAVOURITE MAKING AN EFFORT TO TRY THINGS THAT HE/SHE LIKES IS A BIG MOVE IN THE RELATIONSHIP...

It's the sweetest thing to know exactly what you want, Men need clear instructions about what you want from him/her. If not, it can take a long time for him to get it. Use your sweet love for him/her to get ahead in the relationship.

I opinion is not everything, but is the most important thing in a relationship, if there is no love, you don`t have anything. Sometimes love it`s not enough. There are many things that apparently are not important, but there are, like understanding, honesty, and so on. But when love is, all these things come by themselves, with time.

In my view is love is not different from relationship. Love=relationship. without love it is not relation.Love makes the relation and love wins all .Love brings understanding,forgiveness,affection,care,responsibility,.....many more and a relationship holds it and transfer them..

There's a song that says... when we're hungry, love will keep us alive... so romantic, but so untrue. Maybe during the first few months of the relationship this would apply, when both of you are so in love you his/her face everywhere you look. but this phase passes and when it does, lovers find out that it isnt just love that keeps them alive.

True love is a combination of all the virtue that is needed to have a good relationship. If you love a person, you learn to trust him/her, understand, respect and all the necessary things that you have to do in order to be happy. It's not ideal to pretend how you feel just to make your partner happy. Love is useless if you are not happy with each other, so no matter what you do as long as you think that it is beneficial to both of you and the people around you then do it otherwise if it's not healthy then stop it. Don't make any standards it will only burden you.

Ya love is very important in relationship. Without love it is really difficult to carry on the relation. Not only love but also care too.

Yes i think love is important in every life and it can be everything if two person truly love each other and understand each other. To maintain the relationship, there should be understanding, trust, commitment, belief, loyalty, and sacrifices.... By this every relationship will be strong and always be forever together ever after. If u r in love with somebody then i wish u all the best.

Love is important, relationship starts there, when you love someone, you want to be with him/her always. That's the start of having a romantic relationship to someone. Love starts the relationship but it's not only love that will sustain it. it is the "trust" and "understanding". In a relationship we must take good care of eah other's trust, because if this shatters our faith for our partner will also be affected. and also in a relationship, there will always be a time that we dont agree in each other's point of view. So we must widen our mind and understand each others flaws and find a way to help each other.

Its not only love that we need in a relationship. Although its the main factor why you are in the relationship because you both feel in love with each other. Other factors that you can consider might be needed in a relationship are: trust, communication, patience and a bit romantic and more of respect. I guess those are factors that we need to work out in a relationship.

love is important but i don't believe it should be everything. for me there are other virtues that should play in a relationship like honesty, trust, respect and such. there are people i love but don't necessarily trust because they've done things to compromise our relationship. i think generally, loving someone is a choice that could mean turning a blind eye to certain factors so i will not be content with just love...i'm just saying.
