I think the main ingredient into having a successful relationship is the presence appreciation. It is because giving out appreciation to somebody strengthens one's self-esteem and in effect, they would want to continue making you feel happy because they know that they were considered significant.

Out of the three choices that you gave, I think respect is the most important ingredient. Without respect for others, it would be impossible to care or trust. When you respect others, you acknowledge the fact that both of you are equal. Therefore, good relationships can be fostered.

Yeah, respect is very important. It plays major role in connecting different people to build a good relationship. If one learns to accept everyone's individuality and uniqueness then everything will follow, so as care and trust and of course love. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

none of the above. it is knowledge of one's self for if one knows one's self then it would not be a task anymore to determine what would it take to handle a relationship. everything would just fall into place. caring would be there, trust is already unquestionably present and respect would always be there. unless otherwise one chose a wrong person that i dare say no matter how one knows one's self then it is basically useless to even try to determine what is wrong with the relationship or with one's self. not all relationships are meant to last. some are needed to be tested first then determined whether it is better just to part off as friends.

Hi Care,
The main ingredients to maintain a healthy interpersonal relationship are the following: first is to have an open communication. it will make the relationship stronger for processing things and any disagreement or concern the soonest possible. always keep in touch to let the person feel he or she is important. second, respect and third is trust. respect each other's priorities, moods, etc. and trust to keep things confidential if necessary and everything will follow.

Yeah, what matter is love, as long as you know how to love others then you won't have any problem regarding your relationship with them. And of course when there is love there is forgiveness because you can't love someone if you can't learn for forgive. It plays a major part in continuing love. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

Trust.
Without a sense that the other person values you enough to be trustworthy everything else will fall away. Respect has to be earned which will take time, but trust can come at the outset and needs to be maintained.


Thank you very much and happy mylotting...
