what do you believe is the most important aspect in keeping a relationship alive? I think it's APPRECIATION.
When you appreciate someone yo understand their WORTH.
When you understand their worth you RESPECT them and you don't take them for GRANTED.
When you don't take someone for GRANTED, you do what's required to keep them.

I agree with akanundrum1. I also think its important to not place expectations on the significant other that you yourself arent even willing to meet. Hypocrisy kills relationships too |

i think compromising plays a big part, if there is no understanding in the balance of give and take.. i think that can break down a relationship pretty quick, cant be one-sided

In this day and time, TRUST is a major factor. With so many distractions and lack of respect coming from others, we have to trust that our partners are fully committed to us, that they are carrying themselves in ways that uplift and respect that commitment and are not carrying on in ways that make us look like fools.

Communication is key. If two people can't communicate honestly and openly a breakdown will begin, and that is where lying and cheating come into the equation.

Understanding. Understanding your own flaws and weaknesses and being understanding of your partners flaws and weaknesses so y'all can build each other up.

To me perseverance & adaptability are important, especially when you have been together for a few and are way past the honeymoon stage. When things get tough it's tempting to not focus and get distracted. How we deal with lifestyle changes, health issues or any sudden or expected change can wreak havoc on the relationship.

I will speak to nowadays I believe the most important aspect of keeping relationships alive is NOT GIVING YOURSELF AN OUT. I think if we stop thinking of ways we can escape or seeking entertainment outside of our home we can keep the focus on thriving as a unit. Of course respect, trust, attraction, values, goals, communicationn etc are important but they mean nothing without the common denominator of "genuine commitment to the relationship you're in". You have to invest in where you dwell and not give up on it. People don't just wake up and want to break up or divorce. It was a silent process usually. Rechannel ill feelings and makeover the issues and concerns WITH EACH OTHER. Anything is possible when like minds band together for a common goal.

Companionship...
The definition of companion defines an excellent relationship. A person you break bread with, you share experiences (good and bad), and compliment each other. Friends and lovers, a person you spend a lot of time with.

what do you believe is the most important aspect in keeping a relationship alive? Understanding. Being willing to build each other up and have a mutual ground yall can stand on. A willingness to understand each other, where they are and wanna go. Flaws, strengths. Because through understanding comes respect, gentleness, forgiveness, compassion. If there is no understanding it's had to grow, work as a team and the love becomes scarce. |
