What makes a good relationship?

I agree. As a female I was never romantic until I met my guy.I always wanted understanding first and romance second.And I finally have it!We understand each other And he has made me very romantic. So you can have both.

hi i am agree with you.......what you said here comprehension,understanding,respect and honesty.......so many big words however i would like to say in word and that is trust. one should have trust in his/her partner,and it would be reciprocal yes if sone trust you should trust in it......that makes good and strong relation..... thank you have a great day

I think that the most important thing about any relationship is that you are both happy with the way that you live. You should both be there for each other whenever needed, and you should both enjoy each other's company. There is no need to spend a lot of money on romantic gestures or meals out, because the simple fact is that if you are in love, each other's company will be more than enough. My boyfriend buys me flowers occasionally but we don't do much else apart from that, and we are still perfectly happy together.

For me the humble heart and open communication both in you so be patient truthfulness.

Having a good relationship makes life worth living. What make a good relationship are love and respect we could offer to our partner. Love and respect encompass all the traits that make up a good, solid and loving relationship. Love and respect go hand in hand. A relationship built on a foundation of mutual respect and unconditional love is bound to be happy. :)

Romance is only for when both is courting but not so important after married. Personally I feel the most important is the husband must be a responsible, hardworking and ever ready to commit to a marriage. My husband is a nice guy to other people because he never smoke or drink. He does work full time when he is younger but now he work occasionally and he's only 53 years old. He never give me any allowance for the family. We have 2 children. He will occasionally buy something for the family whenever he like. I worked hard to sustain the family. Till now, he can't even save enough to buy a house. He drive an old car. I only find out that he is one type of guy that never like commitment. Therefore, romance itself definitely don't make good relationship, a lot of skills are needed to build good relation not only husband/wife but also other kind of relationship.

I agree, when talking about love and relatinship, it doesn;t matter if it comes with material things. But for some they use these to show how they appreciate that someone. We all have our own way of showing our love, care and affection to our partners. My husband is not the "flower, chocolate,candle type of guy" but he never fails to let me feel inspired, loved, cared, secured and respected. I would not say that he is the best husband for I have been married only to him and I can't compare him to anyone, but i would definitely say that he is a great husband!

Hello neusdo, Well said being a guy i also feel only romance is not sufficient to have good relationship.You need other things like trust,understanding,compromising nature etc also to have good relations.consider the case of a family suppose there is a couple they are both romantic but don't have faith on each other what do you say relationship will last or will it break. In my opinion it will break sometime it won't run for longer.

Well from a guys point of view, I agree with what you said. Romance is great, but it shouldn't be the only thing in a relationship. To me what makes a goo relationship is HONESTY and TRUST, which compliment each other. There's no point in being in a relationship with someone if you can't trust them. Communication is also important, because in order to have a healthy relationship you need to communicate. Communication will also give someone an idea of how or what another person is feeling. You won't know if anything is wrong unless you communicate. And yes the famous "I love you" goes a long even though it's three simple words
