We all know that trust and honesty help to make relationships solid. But really what is the glue that holds relationships together? Is it sex? Is it love? What is it that allows us to be with someone for a long time or even forever?
I honestly think it's the way the two people interact, not sexual though. And if theirs trust, and honestly those are keys to staying together. And the love is still there, depending on who the couple is. I do know a couple that are still together for sexual activity. But couples who are truly in love, don't only think about sex, it's much for to the person then sexual contact.
Great answer. I don't see how people could stay together for just sex, because that's not what makes a relationship. Not saying it's not important to some level, it's just not the determining factor. - 2 months ago
I think to accept the other person for who they are is the main idea behind a strong relationship. Like you said trust and honesty is important but when you consider the other person for who they are there is a stronger image of a stronger couple. Sex plays a role in relationships too though because to me it signifies the physical attraction for the one you love. But a guy who can accept me for who I am, whether it be my flaws of any sort or include any area of my life (my past, my present, the way I think, the way I approach, the way I handle situations. ) he needs to accept it. But, this type of scenario needs to come both ways. A give and take reality. Once he accepts me for being me, I will accept him for being him.
This would only lead me to be more comfortable around him and I can be more open toward him. Therefore, trusting him and being honest.
I completely agree. Being able to be yourself around someone and having them accept you for who you are is so extremely important to a relationship. - 2 months ago
