How do you rank these important factors to preserve an important relationship: Love, Respect, Sacrifice....I know this is quite tough and confusing but I'm sure we can relate our ranking to our individual experiences. Thanks in advance Guys!

1. Respect 2.Love 3.Sacrifice... Actually all are important but respect must be there as it is important for a lover to respect and understand another lover and the respect must be mutual. If there's more respect than there'll be less sacrifice. Love is the starting point and reason of a relationship but it is not enough to preserve it.

Love, respect and sacrifice.Love though is enough to make you sacrifice and respect your partner.Love begets everything. All else will fail but not Love,cause LOVE NEVER FAILS.

Well guys, I would rank these as below 1. Love : This forms he basis of a strong relationship. If Love is there in any relationship the other two comes automatically. 2. Respect : Essential for a long lasting relationship. Respect makes two individuals stay together & accept the difference of opinions from other with grace. Without respect in a relationship, the relationship is not valuable in either's eyes ... & things can be taken for granted, which might adversely affect the relationship. 3. Sacrifice : this will again automatically come if the relationsip is based on love as the foundation. At certain points in life, one should be willing to sacrifice their own interests / happiness for the benefit / happiness of the partner. this would in turn help an individual gain respect in the eyes of the partner, & sustain the relationship for long. Phew!! i hope i've done justice to the question. Guys!! any

i would rank love, respect then sacrifice. because with love comes respect and sacrifice. when you love the person, you would respect him and most often than not, you would sacrifice things to make it work. in love, i believe that love fades in time. the only thing that will make the relationship work is the respect that you have for each other. sacrifice will always be there. serious and long time relationships would pass a lot of trials that will need sacrificing. therefore, the more you love, the more you respect your partner and the more sacrificing would need to be done... both ways.. .

I think it's Love. With love, all the others come. Because you love someone you are more concern about the person, you respect their actions and decisions and you are willing to sacrifice.
