Foundations of relationships

no, i really don't. Wish they did but i have had some bad luck w/friends this last year. I guess they think it's me but i sure wouldn't have lost 3 good friends intentionally.

In a construction,all the materials are tested for durability to follow and meet the standard that is specified, there are laboratories that analyze these, but cheating always occur as substandard of low quality are being used without the knowledge of the end user. The foundation in a relationship just like in a building needs different planning -structural, electrical,pluming, that goes hand in hand, otherwise, it would be a total wreck for your dream house or building. If planned carefully the strength of its foundation may last forever for a relationship compared to physically framed foundation that rottens in time.

That's a tough one...sometimes you think that you have a relationship build on love and understanding...respect etc...then if falls apart..just like a building whose foundation can crumble..

Dear, I like your discussion topic, you are right foundation is very important in anything like making a building, we can not make a building without a foundation and i think relationships foundations have more strength than buildings, because without the foundation of trust and love any relationship can be break.

Absolutely not! Relationship foundations are very unpredictable. I was married for 17 years and I thought that we had a good foundation until she left. It was done all behind my back. She also took my children. So be careful with relationships. You might think you know someone until they do something underhanded. You will know, I believe, when you have met the right person. They will be a complete extension of you. My new girlfriend is someone I knew for many years and bumped into her a few years back. We were both alone and we started to hang out together. We had everything in common. We think alike, we are one. I am now in the relationship I should have been in all these years. So do not rush into anything.

Hi.. I guess you're right TIME is one of the best foundations for a relationship to stand stronger! But there are also some factors like distance and trust that are very good to test each sides feelings and ideas to each other! If the result is really good, then I guess there's nothing that can ever break that foundation!

Buildings were made over strong foundations that are concrete or tangible hence limiting. In due time, they will wore out and crumble. On the other hand, relationships are founded on ideal qualities, or spiritual hence it is forever; however, they can be worn out if not properly cared for: For me strong relationship can be summed up by the following: L = Loyalty means being at their side through thick and thin. U = Understanding makes you see everything S = Sincerity is the purity of your soul T = Trust is the bridge over the river of unfamiliarity E = Education is knowing that the only constant in the universe is change R = Respect is accepting the person regardless of their ideology

i think a relationship built on a good foundation of friendship, respect, and love can stand the test of all time. some are still talked about. Mark antony and Cleopatra, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Robert Browning, for instance. Maybe Romeo and Juliet, if they ever really existed?

I fully agree with you! I think that the strongest relationships are those that have the strongest foundations. For the strongest foundation, I think that those are built on several factors. The first is trust and time. You have to put time in a relationship for it to work. After all, relationships are hard work and that in return equals time. And as you are putting that time in on a relationship, it will form a strong base of trust. The other very important building block of a relation ship is that the partners are also friends. My best friend is my fiance. He is the one i go to when I need to talk to some one, or just to be near, he is there :)

Hi sender: I hope so . My foundations are trust on the persons I love and also to work harder day after day to make our relationship work out. When you love you have to fight, it won't be always good moments, if you love someone you have to face daily problems and understand what your partner want, how he/ she feels, listen to him/ her and build your love story you two.

Those historical buildings may be ruin one day, because of catastrophic incident like an earthquake but foundation that are built by a relationship is stronger. But that depends on a person. We humans are sometimes weak when it comes to temptations.

You should build a relationship based off the foundation of Trust, Truth and Honesty, Faithfulness and commitment, compromising and comprehending, allowing yourself to love and to be loved...you have to express daily why and how that person is special to you and you have to be grateful and appreciate as well as your partner.A relationship is something that takes time and maintainence especially over years
