Predictablilty makes a relationship more stable. It adds to the comfort level and provides a safe haven for that big mean world out there. Besides, it takes a long time to train each other. :)

In a relationship, the two parties involved must get to know each that very well. Knowing each other include the ability to predict the other person's actions under a given situation. It is healthy for a relationship to have very low uncertainty or non at all, if possible. When you are more certain about the other person, who enjoy the relationship more, less issues will be at the back of your mind.

I believe it depends entirely on the individuals involved combined with a number of either "imagined" or "ad induced" beliefs as well as life lessons in regards to relationships. Becoming predictable totes along some baggage that some may not be ready for, while others can't wait for the "comfort zone" of knowing what to expect and what is expected of them. You could run the risk of either partner getting the feeling that things aren't "exciting" or romantic enough. Personally I think there are those who fit the high predictability mold and just as many who don't. Each benefit in their own way from either way, the key is accepting and being OK with your self no matter which group you may fall into.

my uncertainty does not reduce; i think that's not a fair assumption to be made.
But i will say that high predictibility makes a relationship more stable and it can go either way on the enjoyable scale. hope that helps.

I think the relationship becomes more stable.... sometimes a little less enjoyable because there seems to be a bit of loss in mystery as there was in the begining...

I think it makes it more stable. It is comforting to me to know what my boyfriend's next move is going to be. I can tell by the sound of his voice what he is thinking or if he is planning something. We can finish each other's sentences without even trying. I love every minute of it. We are both thrill seekers so we don't predict exact moves. We just know generally what the other person is thinking. The more I know him the more exciting our relationship gets.

Certainty and predictability are wayyyyyyyyyy so different.
I like to be certain my relationship is monogamous, but predictability can lead to boredom.
