I agree with jaimz19 up there. Everything else is good and needed but if you can't communicate with each other effectively you are bound to just loose it. so many arguments could be avoided if the other person just knew what the other person was thinking and why. When people don't know they start to jump to conclusions and often times they are mistaken.

From personal experience..I have found that my best friend became my closest lover.. build a friendship- trust, loyalty, honesty.. then youll know if they are a 'compatible thinker', so much heartbreak would be avoided this way..
Then again I am a little old fashioned..x

What makes a good relationship is the strong foundation of trust in all circumstances and should not be one-sided. You need to give in your time to deeply listen to each other and take on the pros and cons of the actions done by the other, one another or both of you to one another, to each other or to others.

Hello most important thing is confidence that you can trust me.
Then there is sharing and giving advice.
I think sometimes you can feel how to approach a given situation.
nice day!

There were no formula for a good relationship but if you TRUST, RESPECT and LOVe each other that would be a start. I think I am very understanding and patient person that when I and my boyfriend have a argument we sat down and talk about it. I beleive in the give and take relationship and before reacting into some situation always imagine or put your self on his shoe to undestand more the situation.Hope it helps!

Similar personalities, interests, trust, talking to each other, loyalty.
Pretty much what has been said before.

Trust is one of the most important parts of a relationship. There is also respect and without those two, I don't truly believe that any relationship can exist. I admire many traits about my husband but I could not love him if I didn't trust and respect him.

friendship is a strong foundation for a relationship, but in order to maintain a good relationship, trust and fidelity is very important. You should also be honest with each other

I think it takes a set of different personality which will make a good couple. You two will have different personality for sure. The basic traits which should be in both is the honesty, truth, trust and passion in both of you.
Love each other for what you are, and keep growing together. Good luck to you.

Well personally, I think trust is the biggest thing that sails a relationship. Of course love is the most important thing but without trust, I don't think any relationship works.

I think a good relationship depends on Honesty, Love, Faithfulness, Respect and Friendship. All of these are factors that help any relationship and make a relationship last.
You brought up a good point about give and take as well. There has to be a mutual amount of give and take. One of you that is always giving and the other always taking will end in disaster.
A relationship takes two, not one. So, both parties have to be on the same page. =)
