What are the main factors that are responsible in your having a good relationship with someone? If, unfortunately, this relationship turned sour, what were the factors that were instrumental in bringing about this change?

I have found that it is always connected with the fact that you have not read the expiration date. You can find the expiration date by looking in the left ear, if you see light comming in from the right ear it means your relationship has expired.

In my opinion, factors that makes a good relationship are RESPECT, LOYALTY, LOVE and OPEN COMMUNICATION. Causes of a failure relationship of relationship gone sour is simply the love you have for your partner is not as strong as u thought it was. And you both fail to communicate clearly that's why both couple don't meet to where they should be in their relationship.

Thank you for the reply. You are right, we are at times wrong in our judgement of how strong the love is. This means we lack understanding. And soon we know the mistake we have committed. If the communication is good, there can be some hope of improving the situation.

The main factors, in my opinion, are love, trust, communication, and understanding. There is a multitude of other factors that play a role in having a good relationship. When a relationship fails, it's most likely because of a lack of one or all of those factors.

Thank you for your response. You have chosen, "love" as the first factor. Love can be blind. You have clarity of thoughts. We can easily analyse and understand things pertaining to relationship, but many of us find it difficult to maintain a good relationship. What a pity!
