Fill in the blank. A strong relationship requires _____________?

[coachTanthony]

[Sonorous]

This might get my relationship influencer title removed 😂 but

A strong romantic relationship requires even stronger sacrifices that are arguably not worth it in the end. Because people's perceptions of what they truly want can be skewed by their biological desires. So the relationship usually ends in a split since it wasn't well grounded or their minds weren't similar enough on a basic level. But if by chance the people defy the odds and stay together, it's usually not as fulfilling as their life would feel if they weren't tied down by those things. But for whatever reason, in an effort to make themselves feel better about their choices, they convince themselves by any means that what they're doing is highly admirable and beneficial to them. Even if statistically, it's not.

Talking to each other in a way that allows everything-that-needs-to-be-said (from insecurity, finance to shopping list) to be said without fear, in a way that makes sure that everything that's said is heard, understood and addressed whilst making sure whatever decision or course of action isn't unfair nor does it bring unnecessary harm to the other.

Amazing sex, friendship, and respect. If you respect someone you'll be kind to them, not lie to them, and care about their feelings... equating to them trusting you and you trusting them. If you have a friendship as a foundation, you'll laugh with them and have fun moments and look foward to hanging out. Oh, and great sex is just a must.

[coachTanthony]

I like it. Sounds good.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

*communication, trust, honesty, respect, loyalty, commitment, and compromise

[coachTanthony]

That about covers it... about LOL

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

What did I miss, other than sex and love?

[coachTanthony]

Those exactly... nice job 😉. Hmmm why did you leave those out?

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Cuz those are a given it's the other things people forget, don't realize are important

[coachTanthony]

Okay fair enough 😉

[PurSeduction]

Agree

[Djaay]

Forgiveness #1key component.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@Djaay Some things can be forgiven, some can't, well can be forgiven but also relationship killer like repetitive cheating, physical abuse, repetitive lying...

[Djaay]

All can and should be forgin , tho some things might be a deal breaker... then just forgive and move on

[PurSeduction]

well said @Djaay

[red324]

My pet peeve. Communication and honesty. Women end things at the bat of an eyelash. Doesn't matter how much time they invested. If I was being a weirdo tell me, I'll probably say you're right I was and apologize for it. If I hear it straight from her mouth you can tell me anything and it won't hurt my feelings if you are willing to work it out.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@red324 Not all women do that and some men aren't good at communicating. I'm the talk things out, so you can work it out and move past it... But some people just try to sweep everything under the rug or pretend it didn't happen. But to me unresolved issues won't truly go away then.

[Chikky]

The ability to remember that it's not always rosy every time when things gets difficult

[Jazquee]

Trust, Connor, respect, unconditional love, friendship, loyalty.
A strong relationship is tough to build... but if you can make it through all the trivial u... is the best thing for a happy life.
My husband is my best friend. And I would die without him.

We can listen and be empathetic (even when bitching about each other)
We can play and tease without having a fight
We cuddle when times are hard and laugh when things are awesome.
Lots are needed to build a perfect. relationship but the biggest thing I would think needed is "want"
If you don't have the "want" for a perfect relationship... you will never get there.

[Jazquee]

Honour... not Connor lol stupid computer doesn't know everything.

[HawkPerception]

We all know who's on your mind now 😏

[midnightmoon05]

Two willing, loving people to work through life’s difficulties. Willing to compromise, communicate, change for the best, have each other’s back, create love and passion, make it fun, change it around... the list goes on... that’s way it’s call work.
many focus on the easy part. Once it gets difficult, they run off.

[Alpha09]

Communication, honesty and trust regardless of what kind. Sex and intimacy is a big one to if it's the romantic kind.

[Alpha09]

Ew I said "kind" twice in the same paragraph. We should be able to edit things like this🙄

[coachTanthony]

I agree. We need an edit button.

[lilyanony1]

Respect and honesty
I'm not suggesting brutal honesty you the kind where a person destroys you. Im talking about the kind of honesty that builds and maintains trust.

[Karz101]

I believe a strong relationship requires respect, submission in the form of Allowing your partner to be the man and be the head of the household as well as , love , affection and attention , and i believe date night, checking in with each other sexually mentally emotionally and date nights are a huge part of maintaining that healthy strong relationship.



That’s my opinion but maybe my opinion is wrong it hasn’t exactly been working for me LOL.

[whatdoyouwantt]

A strong relationship requires a good communication!!


If there’s none, then it’s doomed for sure!! It’s exactly the reason why my last relationship didn’t work out.

[This_is_my_username]

Independence from one another. It's very important to do things by yourself and let your partner do the same, it also allows you to miss them. A relationship is meant to for many things, but dependency is not one of them, at least that is my opinion.

[Djaay]

Union as one ! This is the only way a relationship thrives.

[Jjpayne]

Trust

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Strong communication and an ability to compromise.

[coachTanthony]

[Siren777]

Respect, patience, compromise, love, laughter, communication, kindness, loyalty & a ton of passionate sex.

[serious]

Multiple things are needed to make a relationship strong and last long.

[sofiec]

Respect

that's it, should cover everything else

[MiriamDoremi]

A strong relationship requires trust

[coachTanthony]

For sure!

[burlen]

Love.

Love trumps everything and anything in a relationship.

[kkirk4442]

Willingness to forgive and to reasonably accept the other person as they are.

[raven6933]

Well I thought it was a single word. Communication is paramount. Sometimes listening far exceeds talking. Comparmise especially if you expect to keep them. Bend don't break. Sometimes it's better to let her think she's right than to prove she's not.

[Iron_Man]

Mental discipline to compromise and work things out

[MelissaMarie9614]

Communication, love, loyalty, commitment, respect, patience, care, honesty and trust.

[Puppystarfish23]

Loyalty , time , honesty , respect, nurturing and humour

[linzo21]

A strong relationship requires choosing to love eachother even in those moments you struggle to like eachother

[Wild_Surpise]

How are you 40? You look 25!

[yeahitsmegrace]

A strong relationship requires love, care, commitment, patience, honesty, integrity, understanding, respect, trust, and that's about it.

[seanscoopers]

True

[najekim]

What #Brainsbeforebeauty said but I would add spontaneity also.

[Rogue77]

Trust and respect are two very important requirements to having a strong relationship.

[MCheetah]

Trust, honesty, and communication. Literally the first thing that sprang to mind.

[NathanDavis]

Two people, happily rowing on the same direction... unison.

[JosyJosy]

Work, loyalty, communication and love would be nice

[Coolkat12345]

If both individuals take care of themselves there relationship will be good. Like both working on physical fitness. Both should also be nice to eachother and friendly this will help the relationship be good, They should also pray together.

[Rosie__Romero]

A strong foundation of communication, trust and love!

[PaynefulPleasures]

What's that word that starts with a C and ends with an N?

[Shark_61695]

Concatenation...

[Jamie05rhs]

@Shark_61695 lol. No; the other one.

[Shark_61695]

Communion... I'm guessing you're going for communication not condemnation.

[Jamie05rhs]

Communication, yes.

[Wiredone]

A strong relationship requires trust, dedication, affection and communication

[sheikalana]

[Anonymous]

[The_Maphio]

Respect, trust and sex drive.

[zed-789]

Matching sex drivers.

[Wild_Surpise]

Thank you! You get it!

[zed-789]

Exactly. People don’t understand that having matching sex drives really does matter. U can have all the trust and loyalty and communication u want in a relationship but mis-matched sex drives literally contributes to damaging the connection between people and propel a couple to further drift apart.

[SteveSmith1985]

Trust

[friendzoned4life]
