For me it is communication. I think that it is great for every relationship hould have communication. I mean I actually set up days where me and my partner actually talk about what is wrong and what each other are thinking. I mean we talk everyday, but you have to ahve some of those days to where you can just sit down and talk with out arguing. Thanks you for your post and opinions.

I think that is the first and foremost factor that preserves a relationship intact. Although I would say if you and your partner is already that long the communications part tends to slow down as interests die down too. But with creativity that could spark up again. When in conflict this is the only means that you and your partner can agree on an issue. Without it you two would just drift away frome each other. In fact many of broken relationship starts from stopping communicating from each other. That is why communicating is a very important factor in a relationship. You should always have an open communication from each other.

Yes, communication is really important in a relationship, but for me the most important one is honest, we shouldn't cheat each other, sometimes this is really hurt.

yes communication is very important, second is the trust and third is respect. then to follow LOVE. those are the 4 fundamentals of a relationship. if those 4 are lacking in a relationship, then i dont think that kind of relationship will go far.

I think that one of the most important things in any relationship is respect. With respect comes everything else, like open communication and honesty. If partenters, or even friends, don't respect each other there will be no honesty and trustworthiness.

Hi Lucky12! Would'nt life be almost perfect if everyone ended up with their soulmates? But ofcourse we all know that your soulmate is not always the love of your life. As to your question, yeah there's been plenty to times when me and my husband cant even say hi to each other without arguing but it's better to say what you feel and leave it out in the open before it starts eating your brains out! LOL, I think it has a lot to do with everyday stess from work or school that just ends up piling up inside of you until you explode on the people you love the most. Perfectly natuaral in my opinion. Happy MyLotting!

I understand you are talking right communication is must for any relationship to grow but if you see in addition of communication faith is far more important apart from only communication. for example if you go outside and not able to contact other person then the factor faith count the most. communication is the medium to contact each other not the necessity factor, what you say?

for me I'd have to say intimacy no point having a relationship if its not intimate because that's what makes a relationship a relationship to only kiss, hold, or make love to one person is amazing to be so committed to love them so much to only choose to be loyal and stay true to them. so yeah for its intimacy. cheers love,

To me the important thing in a relationship is good communication and also trust. It's good to be able to talk to your partner about everything. I try not to keep secrets from him, actually I didn't keep anything from him. I believe in being honest. Trust is also very important. It's not healthy to be suspicious all the time. You've to give each other some space. I trusted my partner and I pray that he won't betray my trust. It's only natural that you can't help feeling worried at times.

I think the most important thing in a relationship is sincerity and tolerance. It can help you to start and delvlop a relationship with people you meet. I think if you have a sincere friend and also tolerant with you, you would be the lucky person in the world.

Hi there, Well for a relationship to work, you need to have a good communication with your partner. Communicating, is the key of success for couples. Its important to spend quality time with your partner and talk about everything and especially about things that sometimes creates some misunderstanding between 2 people. If you don't talk, and leave a problem without finding solutions, well the relationship won't survive unless the 2 people are willing to clear things out. I don't know why but some people just don't want to communicate. Its not too hard to spend some specific time to talk with your boyfriend or girlfriend or especially if your married. Without the communicate, things might just explode and create havoc in the couple. I just want to add that communication is very important everywhere ; in your family, siblings, friends, not just between you and your lover. Thx.

The most important thing in a relationship for me is to adjust with the things which you dont like of your partner. You got to accept your partner in totality, there is no short cuts in that.

hi lucky12, I agree with you regarding communication as one on the important thing in a relationship. Especially if one is having a long distance relationship, the couples must have continuous communication to overcome the feeling of loneliness.Having the presence of constant communication will decrease the occurrence of misunderstanding between two persons.It is because if they can communicate every now and then, they will be open with each other. And if there is a problem that seems to happen, they can find a solution with it immediately.I had witnessed so many cases in which if there is only the communication, lovers will not separate easily.If only one of them volunteers to speak about the conflict they are experiencing. If only, they not let pride to control them. Then, perhaps they can have a long and lasting relationship.If only they talk about it and not let their emotions overcome them.It is too disappointing that many lovers forget about the importance of communication once they got so busy or once problem come to them in a bundle. In addition to that, I believe that trust is also one of the important things.I can say that love cannot really live without trust. Once trust become absent in a relationship, that will be the start for the relationship to weakens.There will always be the presence of arguments, misunderstandings, anger, pain and eventually separation between lovers. With all of these, relationship can be said to be truly fragile. It must be handle with care for it to be strong and last long.Hope this one contributes

for me the foremost important in the relationship is trust,respect, commitmment to each other. the rest will follow. i dont know bout others but if trust and commitment is not there, there will be no use to communication and among other things that you will put on the relationship.
