That is really a tough one. Its kind of a catch 22. With out dependability how can we have true passion. But without passion what is life? I think we really need both. But if I have to pick which is more important gosh i have to say passion.

Passion

True passion doesn't foster or encourage dependence. Passion can grow no 'roots' as long as there is value on dependence. Dependability is a form of self righteousness, where passion is an element of Life itself. The less dependence there is in a relationship and in the world at large, the more passion we will see. Passion needs freedon in order to thrive and create and connect - but dependency is slavery and slavery is death. Passion is Life and dependency is death. What was the question? :-)

I say both are very important in the long run. Dependability is key to making a relationship function on a healthy level. While passion is key to making the relationship intimate and meaningful. Yes both can exist in a long time relationship. I've known my wife for 10 years, and we've been married for 5 years, and we are both very dependable to each other. Plus we have a very passionate, crazy, and sexually healthy relationship. I always make it a point to sweep her off her feet everyday and let her know I'm crazy in love with her. She in return keeps me overwhelmingly pleased. But I will say every relationship takes work. In order for any relationship to work it takes two people.

In the long run I'd say dependability. But passion and dependability work well together.

Wanting to make the long run enough to make it work, and that means having the passion for doing it, and in doing it, therein is the dependability.

I like my cars dependable and my women passionate. I used to have a passionate car and a dependable woman but that didn't work out. Guess what? I'm a man, baby!

The real in the deal. Dependability beat the crap out of passion everyday of the week and 3 time on Sunday. A relationship is a 24/7 journey. Not forged simply between the sheets. Like just sex, any relationship trying to set passion as the foundation of the relationship it starting at the bottom of a sink hole with out a rope.
Passion is like a flashy red sports car. great for pulling up to the curb and getting all the looks. Or zipping down the coast hugging the curves. But if the mechanics is not good, always leaves you stranded. When you really have to get somewhere, a wedding, interview, see a dying grandmother. Are you really going to take THAT car? Or are you going to take the OTHER car that is not as flashy BUT, you know will make the trip and get you there?
It would be nice to be able to have the relationship where you are groping the hell out of each other every single moment. Burning the evening meal because you can't wait but do it right on the kitchen table. But how would you really feel if the only time you were notice by your SO is when he/she wanted sex? And at other times if they missed a dinner date with you, walk right pass as if you were not there as if you were no more important than the dry cleaning, "oops. forgot about it. I will get to it tomorrow" Truly, have you had any sex so great that you didn't cared if they even knew you were alive with your clothes on? If you can't say yes, go with dependability.

Dependability without a doubt is more important
And by that I mean the real word which encompasses the concept and that is INTEGRITY.
Nothing will more quickly kill the passion in a relationship, especially for the woman than an inability to trust your partner. The ability for both partners to be be able to depend on each others character and integrity is a fertile breeding place for passion.
Without that dependability Katrina you run the real risk of truely being TORN

If you meant a passion for life then that would lead to a lot more than just passion elsewhere. A passion for life could lead to life learning, adventure, romance, and dedication to improve yourself and others. Being dependable is just that, you can be counted on which is needed in a relationship. Being passionate while being dependable...
apparently I'm trying to circle dodge and not answer.
Best of luck.
