I believe that the most important 'key' to a successful relationship would have to

be 'trust'. I believe that with trust, love will follow.

However, what I have noticed is that many people think trust, or expect that trust
is to be earned by the other person when in all actuality it is something that
comes from within you.

All too many times people will say they don't trust due to past experiences. What
they don't realize is that they have built up those proverbial walls to protect
them from the very thing they are searching for... Yes, there is a risk in trusting
someone, but when you finally find that 'right' person, it makes all the past
experiences and lessons learned very much worth the risk.

All of life's little lessons do not have to be painful even when they seem so at
the time. You just have to chalk it up to experience and move on. Like nothing is
worth closing your heart. Nothing is worth living in a world of fearing what bad
'may' come to you.

Without trust, you close your heart to the happiness and joy that true love brings.
A Chat for example is a risk... But why allow past betrayals to prolong the pain by
building a fortress around your heart that not only protects you from
pain/betrayal, but also denies you the ability to experience happiness and joy?
Most have been hurt enough by one person, why allow them and their actions to stop
us from finding what we search for? I say open your hearts to trust and bask in the
beauty, happiness, and joy, of the true love that will follow.

For out of everyone there is still a special person meant for you. But you just
can't find him/her if you hide away all your life. Making sure you call the person
you care about or love, and be there whenever he/she needs you. Just care for that
person with all your might.

Two people trusting each other fully, not being afraid to tell the other what one
thinks, whether it is good or bad, and the other respecting their opinion. Being
able to enjoy the same things with each other, enjoying each other, and being able
to take their separate lives and smoothly combine their lifestyles into a couple's
lifestyle.

Being friends first, last and always. If you have friendship as the basis of your
relationship, you can get through the hard times. The second ingredient is
commitment. With those two things, you can't lose.

Friendship is also one of the important key in any relationship. I feel that if you
can't be friends first what chance do you have at being lovers? With friendship you
have to have trust and respect. You have to like the person you're friends with to
get along together. Once that is accomplished falling in love with them is just an
extension of friendship, only stronger and better. Like the foundation of a brick
house, love must also have a foundation. That foundation is friendship. You must
have a strong foundation (friendship) in order for love to withstand the test of
time validating your partner's feelings. It's so important to be heard in a
relationship even if you do not agree with what is being said.

I feel that a relationship should always be based upon honesty and acceptance.
When you can fully accept yourself, honesty will come naturally. This in return
will leave your partner feeling comfortable with you, knowing there is nothing to
hide. If two people can see each other in full view with complete acceptance, they
can build a successful relationship from this quality time spent together, pillow
talk, one on one, being open about everything, always showing you love each other
all the time by celebrating on different occasions like the first time you met each
other, I think the most important key to a successful relationship is when you
truly enjoy each other's company..

Commitment is the one greatest key to a successful relationship. If you are


committed you will always find a way to work things out. I think with friendship,
trust and love among two it will be a very nice relationship! You can love someone
like that and still be best friends and it's the best. Plus if they are your best
friend, can't best friends stay best friends forever? If you just love someone for
their physical aspects, there's no friendship or similarities between you except
that Passion. Without feeling passionately towards your mate the communication,
sex, intimacy, and ultimate closeness will not be there, which in turn leaves each
partner wanting/needing more from the relationship than they are getting.

Communication In many instances, 'communication' can be used in place of


'relationship'. If you withhold something from your spouse or lie to them, the
communication (or relationship) has ended. If you chose not to be truthful, because
you're afraid they may leave or be upset, you've got nothing to lose -- the
relationship is already over. You may continue to go through life together, but
you'll never have a 'relationship. Good communication. Never being ashamed of each
other for any reason. On occasion surprising your mate with a nice romantic date or
evening together and telling each other I love you.

There is a lot of love and caring in the relationship and there has to be love in
order for a relationship to work because when you can feel comfortable about
everything together. Always being able to talk, joke. Taking your commitment
seriously with one another and never taking each other for granted.

I know all this because I've lived in it. My late wife and I had everything. ; We
had a very strong friendship bond, money, companionship, a good home and great
jobs. We were basically friends. Friends are just that friends... husbands or wives
should be in love and life partners... that doesn't happen without feeling passion
for the other person Communication... Talking and open honest communication about
how you feel. What makes you happy and what upsets you. If you don't tell your
partner then they can't do what makes you happy and vice versa.

The way a person treats his/her parents reveals how they will treat you! If it's
with love, kindness and respect, then this are what you will receive. But if it's
with criticism, defensiveness and disrespect, then this too you will receive.
Eventually, it's almost certainly a guarantee! So watch and listen to the answers
you get in their actions and words BEFORE you jump into bed.
