What is the most crucial thing in a relationship?

The most crucial thing in a relationship is to accept one another as they are. Learning to live with the bad habits of one another, learning to forgive one another no matter how bad the situation may seem to be in moments of anger and learning to share each others pain. However, love should always be in the center of it all, because without love in a relationship nothing is possible.

I would have to say is Respect..It is very important in a beginning and throughout your relationship..It is very essential within a relationship..I feel that we need to start our relationship with respect with someone because without it the foundation may eventually crumble..We may face a situation where you might question your trust for that person and eventually his love for you; but if he/she truly respect that person then there is nothing to doubt your trust for him/her and his love for you.. But in the end Love is the most important of all..Love conquers everything..Hope this makes sense..

I would like to say it is TRUST. I would have said LOVE is the most important thing... but it is important to start the relationship with LOVE and build trust and retain trust. Love may be lost but when you still choose to be with the person you still have love for your partner. When Trust is lost, by any means at all - especially by cheating. No matter how great the love is, i'd say it is really going to be so hard to make everything work. I have been in such and yes though i loved the person very much and would even step up and fight for him and fight with him.. the moment my trust on him was broken i simply just cannot look at him the same way, i always doubt what he does, i always feel i need watch everything he is doing.

Yes, I agree that trust is very important in a relationship. No matter how much you love a person but when you lost your trust, you will always have a doubt and your relationship will not be a happy one.

Hi friend, different kind of people have different thought and they will think various things as a cruel one for our relationship. Love is really a great complicated thing in our life, we must be very careful with it.

I think it would be a mixture of the two. I wouldn't necessarily say that trust doesn't fluctuate, me and my girlfriend are going through something very difficult now, we're trying to regain out trust for each other and working through it. So based on experience I can say trust does change sometimes. I have always heard that common interests are also needed. My girlfriend and I have common interests but a lot more that we don't have in common.

Trust. If you do not have trust in a relationship, then the relationship will be nothing but trouble. You need to be able to trust the person that you are with. Love and trust are always to key and essential things.
