hello to all mylotters What do you think would be more effective for having long lasting and romantic relationship with your partner? Being a friend with each other before any courtship/ marriage happen or having a long engagement period before you get married? You guys who want to participate this discussion who are singles are free to join. Please tell your opinion.

Friendship establish rapport,trust,loyalty,and love.In the friendship stage you learn to open up to each other and display less pretensions.Relationships that have founded by friendship,communication will not be an issue.And i think communication deals a great role in marriage.Isn't wonderful to spend your precious life with the person you are more comfortable to talk just any topic under the sun?
