Love--------------------------------------

Money-----------------------

Family-----------------------------------

Intimacy-------------------------

Excitement---------------------------------

Answer 1

Its like a very delicate balancing act. You take any one part away and the whole thing comes crashing down. So its not any particular part that is important, but fact that without EVERY part it can not stay.

Answer 2

I agree with Tess. Every answer should be 50-50. If any of those are ranked less important (with perhaps the possible exception of money, but with conditions) I wouldn't think it was a strong relationship. Say one values intimacy more than the other does. The one who ranks it higher would then begin to feel less 'valued' from a perceived 'lack' of intimacy. Thoughts such as those, whether real or imagined, always lead to tension. Compromise is of course essential, but honesty and openness is as well. If either one cannot give what is 'needed', compared to what is 'wanted,' then problems are on the horizon.

Answer 3

both have to put something into the equation or the marriage will fall apart, the "fire" will die if one looses interest, no one is more important, whatever role each person takes, like one works and the other takes care of kids or both work and take turns taking care of the kids, its all critical in making things work, one cannot take all the load. its 50/50

Answer 4

If they both want the marriage to work all of the above should be most important to both.

Answer 5

Boy, Linda, you are on a roll, just trying to keep up with you here.
What is important in a marriage is partnership, equality, mutual respect, physical, mental and spiritual compatibility, and, of course, porn.
