Communication comes first..without good communication you cant hope to have either good sexual relations or even a romance

I think communication would be the first then relations and the romance. I am a female and have been married for almost 8 years

I am female and have been married just under two years. I would rate as follows:
Communication, *Relations* then romance.
Reason being that if you can not talk to your partner, you do not have a relationship. Plain and simple. Relations come before romance, because you can be in the mood, or get in the mood without romance, and realistically, most men aren't that good in the romance dept, so I kind of gave up on that one.

I've been with my fiancee for 7 years so we're not married yet but we're getting married this August 9th.
I would say that communication is first because it's VERY important in a relationship. My fiancee and I are each others best friends. I can talk to this man and tell him any and everything. I've even told him about some of the skeletons that were in my closet and he has never judged me or looked at me any differently.
Then I think it's the romance. I'm a woman and romance is important to us. Romance keeps the relationship alive and good.
Then sex. Sex is important but it's not more important to me than communication and romance. My fiancee is romantic and I love it. As for the sex, men can be taught. Some women complain about their sex life but don't tell their husbands anything. Men aren't mind readers, you have to tell them and teach them.

1. Communication. Without that, everything else will fall to pieces. Good communication improves the romance level and sex life of a relationship.
2. Romance. It's important for each partner to feel wanted and loved in order for the sex life to be fulfilling.
3. "Relations". It is still important to me, but without the other two factors, it would be empty and unfulfilling. And if something medical happened and we were unable to have sex, our marriage would still be strong, but if the communication failed, so would the relationship.
I'm female and have been married for 15 years.

1. communication 2. romance 3. relations
communication is the building block and basis of every successful relationship. without communication there would be no way to express each person's needs and wants and with these out these fundamentals being met, the relationship is doomed for failure.
romance is needed in order to keep the two people connected on an emotional basis. It is this bond that keeps each person motivated to fullfull the needs of the other, it also allows for a sense of obligation and committment to your partner. When you are romantically connected to your partner you will continue to pursue the relationship in a positive way.
relations is the physicality of love expressed. It also fulfills our basic need and encourages intimacy throught physical contact.

Communication, Relations, Romance.
Female married 10 years.
Why that order?
Communication is necessary whether or not you are having relations or being romanced. It's important in all situations.
Relations... Well cuz it's FUN and wonderful...but also because it can be very healing...whether or not he romanced you or not. Relations after a fight for example can be very healing for both. It makes him feel appreciated and it makes me feel appreciated and close to him.
Romance is important but after 10 years, it can be neglected. It's frosting on the cake. I still love him even if he isn't romantic. Even if he is stinky from work and crabby and being selfish and not very romantic at all. It's wonderful when he can come home, eat, relax, de-crab and say some sweet things to me or do something sweet for me...it's appreciated all the more.

Communication
"relations"
romance
i am male
i am not yet married ( this June)
we have lived together for 6 years
i chose this order because i believe nothing is more important then communication
with good communication you can talk about and work through all the rest.
i chose relations next because i believe that with out a good sex life any relationship is doomed to fail
with good sex romance seem to come very easy
hope this helps

1. Communication 2. Romance 3. *Relations*
Male for 10 years. One leads to the other. But they all wither and die if you don't have them in this order.

Male, married 36 years, here.
I don't know what you mean by "relations."
Romance and communication are equally important. It would be hard to rank one ahead of the other. If I had to put one first, it would have to be communication.
Our relationship was very sexually charged, and we were both very good communicators, so things worked out quite nicely.
