Answer 2

What makes a good relationship? How about a relatively short list?

* When the parties involved have enough in common to be able to understand each other, but enough differences to keep life interesting.

* When both parties support each other's goals.

* When both parties realize that "love" is a decision they make, sometimes on a moment-by-moment basis, and not sex or some "warm fuzzy feeling" they get.

* When both parties know what their boundaries are and communicate those effectively to each other.

* When the parties make time for each other every week and stick to it, regardless of anything else.

* When the parties constantly communicate effectively with each other about virtually everything, including ( especially for the male in the relationship ) just listening without trying to "solve" everything.

* When both parties do their best to continue to build the level of trust between them.

* When the parties don't attempt to manipulate each other, but make their desires overt.

* When neither party uses money, sex or affection as a weapon.

* When both parties keep in mind that people change over time and make every attempt to adapt and adjust to these changes.

* When both parties value their relationship more than any other relationship.

* And when both parties have the patience and courage to stick with the relationship through thick and thin ( i.e. Don't bail just because there are stresses and pressures ).

Answer 3

Caring about the other person more than life itself. Trusting them is the most important thing in a relationship. You have to trust the other person because they are going to do what they are going to do no matter what and, unless they give you a reason not to trust them then always trust them. Give the other person space when they need it and be there for them when they need you the most.
