I only have one thing in my mind that keep the relationship between each other to make the bond and keep it connected between each other is "Respect" because if we keep and understand that we all have our respective respect in any decision we made then for sure it will be connected until you want it too......last for a very long time.

I can't think of anything more...Nothing more but love... Love is a one word with a broad meaning. When you love, you respect, trust, give, commit, sacrifice, understand, forgive and many more. You will be able to do things because you love. Either you love others or yourself. You do things because of love... no matter what kind of love it is.

I think trust plays a big part in keeping the bond. Then respect and communication. You may love each other but if respect, trust and communication are not there in the relationship then i think it won't work as well. I have been in a relationship without respect and trust and it wasn't pretty.

Patience, faith, and honesty. Relationships take work, sometimes hard work. I have been married twice. First time was a disaster. Second was a charm, not an easy ride but still a charm. Hubby and I are honest with each other no matter what. Yep we disagree from time to time but we always agree to disagree! We both hold our faith as most important and discuss our shortfalls often. That I think is the most important thing that we share. It not only keeps us strong in our faith but in our relationship too. We know that we aren't perfect and because we share these things we tend to be more patient with each other.

relations - trust and faith for relations
According to me...trust and faith are the two things, you should have on each other..without it everything is useless... All other things, come next...You can over any kind of circumstances, if your trust and faith is intact..

Communicate, communicate, communicate. There has to be a lot of communication and trust plus the desire to keep the relationship going. If both of you want your relationship to work then you will find a way to make it so no matter what the situation is, but the only way you will truely know that is if you are communicating with each other. As much as we may want it we can't read minds ^_^

If you find out, please let me know. I thought it was a combination of love, respect, trust, honesty, faithfulness, common interests, common hobbies, etc. But obviously, I was sooooooooooo wrong. I always seem to pick the wrong person to be a lifemate.

Outside of love for one another that keeps you bonded to your lifemate, to me, is friendship. Communication, trust, respect, etc are all part of truly loving someone. Friendship, the actually liking that person, having a lot of interests in common, and really enjoying their company, is what helps keep the love, and therefore the relationship alive and bonded. I am the luckiest guy in the world as I have been marriend to my best friend for 22 years now. My wife is the one person in the world I would want to spend a quiet afternoon with. I have three daughters from my first marriage, and now have six grandchildren, but if given an either-or choice, I would choose to be with my wife. Sorry, to my kids and grandkids, I love them, but my wife is the most important and special person to me.

I would have to say bond that keeps a relationship strong and connected between man and women is love and communication.. Love and communication are two things that you really need in a relationship.. you need communication to be able to talk to your loved ones and communication is one of the mayjor things that keep a relationship going... than we have love the feeling and the emotion that everyone experinces, of course you need love to keep the bond strong and connected between a man and women... Than you also need respect cause if you don't have respect for one another than you don't have love for each other, you got to ahve respect for someone to love them.. ..

It really just depends on what relationship people have with each other, some people are stronger with some aspects than others are. Though the basic core things that keep relationships strong is definitely communication and trust. Without communication lovers tend to become lost and out of touch, making the bond separate, leading to a break up. And when you don't have good trust on both sides there can be a lot of jealousy and also sneakiness like spying, etc. A lack of trust most likely will lead to a break-up, if not that there will be stress and more arguments. There are other aspects as well, but those are the two major ones that make the foundation for so many relationship, including my own, I am glad my partner and I have both great communication and great trust with each other, without it things would definitely be different, because I have been in relationships without at least one of those aspects, and they are not fun at all! Well anyways, happy mylotting and have a great day/night!
