What are the necessary components to have a lasting relationship?

hi there, i think just as long as you love and trust each other. communication and patience are really very important also. my boyfriend and i have been together for almost 8 years now and it has been pretty tough since we are so far away from each other. we are just trying to work it out and be patient. we are planning to get married and settle down in 2 years. hopefully everything goes well.

There are many things that make a relationship work. But compromise is a huge one. If a couple can't compromise on anything then it really isn't worth it. But among compromise, there should be honesty, loyalty, and compassion. If they're leaving you just simply ask them why and that you deserve to know. Life's not fair as I'm sure you've learned and some people won't give you the time of day. Jealousy is something that breaks many couples. Along with deceit. Be honest with each other and don't bottle up how you feel. Because if you have unexpressed feelings towards each other and you bottle them up eventually one of you are going to explode. That's not good. Some people don't know why they do the things they do. Some people are afraid of getting to involved and love scares them. So don't always feel like it's your fault. Above all keep your self happy and be your self. Don't turn into somebody you're not to be somebody they want. If being your self makes you happy and keeps your partner happy then I would say they are keepers. So keep your eyes open and don't try to hard!

hello! I've never been into a relationship but I've been an adviser to my friends when it comes to their relationships. To have a lasting relationship, you must be always open to each other. Communication is very important. In a relationship, you have to be honest with each other too. You cant love a person whom you never trusted so if you love that person, you can trust him/her. And most of all, love the person with all your heart and be loyal to him/her as well.

Relations are very important and quite common but it is very difficult to last them for a long time. We people add many chemicals like vinegar and salt to the pickles to last them for a long time. Like the same, We need some chemicals like trust, communication, love, respect, sense of understanding. These are the some of them which we people need to add in our relations. This will help us to last the relations to last them for a long time. Happy mylotting

Well, like almost everyone said, trust and loyalty are the most important thing in a relationship. Without any of those two the relationship is going down. And about your problem, why do you think that the problem's in you. Everyone wants a different thing from their relationships. For example there are a lot of guys that the only thing that they want is to lay in bad with you, of course there are guys that wants a stable and trustful relationship. Women are the same, so don't worry, you just can't find the right one for you.

Top on the list for components that make a relationship last is trust. You can not be in a relationship with someone that you don’t trust. Checking up on someone all the time can be exhausting. Compromise is another component that goes in to building a lasting relationship. You can’t always have your way. Love is what holds everything together in every relationship that is to last.

I think it's commitment, because we can always think 'I can find someone better' but the truth is relationships might have crisis and we will have that with anyone just because humans are very different from each other. We need time to adjust, time to give in, to break the wall of selfishness and beging to work not as one but at the same side.

It all depends on what kind of relationship lots of relationship require different things from you. But the basics of all relationships I feel you need trust, respect, communication that is a big one of course.

You should have a good deal of communication, sense of understanding, sense of humor and not be abusive. Then of course in no particular order love, courtesy, thoughtfulness and a sincere heart. No cheating or being obnoxious.

For me TRUST is the most important. If you have trust, you are both worry free and have peace of mind.

The necessary components to have a lasting relationship are God, communication, trust, and love. If you really love the person you will work at the relationship. If you are afraid to communicate your thoughts or express yourself with that person than problems will arise. You want to be open and respect one another. The relationship will need some space at some point but that does not mean that it is in trouble. Prayer must be apart of the relationship and the relationship will last.
