"To me, the most important thing in a relationship is honesty, trust, and open communication"
What I have personally found...and what is really comforting....(like I've said before) is knowing that happiness does not flow through the relationship independently. When something good happens to one person, both should be happy...same goes with mishaps.
Also, sharing of common values / morals / principals...and talking about it. It makes for a deeper, long lasting fulfilling relationship.
..Also..openness is a big thing..not just with communication..but with other people. Its nice to know when other people support your relationship (friends, family, etc...)
If I have missed anything...forgiveness please

In any good relationship, I think the main thing is trying to see that the other person is happy and taken good care of. If both people do this, they should be happy. If they are not trying to make the other one happy, they may not really care that much about them.Above anything though is honesty but if you really care, you are going to be honest with them.

Respect for each other, trust for one another, honesty, willing to work on problems, very open with each other. Wanting the other person to be happy, wanting what is best for the other person. Supportive of each other. Acceptance of each other, not trying to change the other person. Just a few.

it depends on how old you are too. trust and honesty is all nice and dandy, but if your bf doesn't ever want to get married and have kids and you do, well then, there goes that relationship right out the window. why even bother. there's my crappy experience. Love sucks.

My opinion
Honesty at all times.
Morals, I have been married for 38 years to an absolutely beautiful woman and I know that many men have wanted her but never once have I questioned her fidelity nor has she ever questioned mine.
She may be my wife but she is also my lover, my drinking buddy, my friend and I would rather be with her than anyone else.

--Being able to be FRIENDS--being able to be silly and gross and burp in front of each other and just...BE.
--That you're both respectful of each other's feelings, dreams, past choices, etc.
--Accepting the person. My last boyfriend was constantly trying to change me--and though the changes he proposed would perhaps have been for the better, I didn't WANT to change, and the knowledge that he wanted to change parts of me was not a good thing.
--Talking about your feelings. Guys have issues with this. If you find a guy who can start a sentence with "I feel..." then you've probably got a good one.
--Trust. It's awful to constantly have your boyfriend/girlfriend doubting your fidelity and/or feelings for him.

My experience: I am 43 and have been married for over 20 years.
Communication... honesty, do not judge, love unconditionally!
We are all human, and we all make mistakes through life. No one is perfect... remember what attracted you to him/her in the first place and always keep the romance going. NO MATTER WHAT!!!

Aw man there are so many, you should look for compassion, romance, compatibility, how attracted the two people are to one another, honesty, trust, loyalty, commitment, fairness, and fun. But there are many more that you will experience on your own with your boyfriend.
I wish you the best.

TRUST is a very important factor for all relationships. When trust is broken, it is the end of the relationship. Lack of trust leads to suspicion, suspicion generates anger, anger causes enmity and enmity may result in separation.
