Do You Know About The 5 C's?

[Sunrising]

I have recently discovered the 5 C's of a relationship, though I'm sure we already use them without knowing about the rule.

How to use the 5 C's.

As a Checklist. Evaluate potential or current partners by seeing if they embody these traits.

As a Growth Tool. Intentionally practice these elements to strengthen your existing relationships.

Commonly Cited 5 C's.

Communication/Closeness: The ability to talk openly, listen actively, resolve misunderstandings, and revealing your true self.

Chemistry: The spark, attraction, and the emotional pull that makes you exited about the person.

Compatibility/Commonality: Shared values, goals, and a sense of fitting well together long term.

Commitment: A conscious decision to stick together through challenges, and build a future.

Compassion/Courtesy/Constructive Conflict: Showing care, and understanding, respect, kindness, appreciation, and managing inevitable issues.

A. I do use the 5 C's in my relationships.

B. I haven't heard of the 5 C's until now, but I'll use them in future.

C. The 5 C's have no value at all.

D. Something else.

There are different ways of viewing relationships. I say that every good long term relationship has four requirements:

Lust

Love

Trust

Respect

Why can't we have your 4 requirements, and the 5 C's, and more besides to improve our relationships.

I never heard of the 5 Cs, thanks for the info :)

Those seem like multiple C's tho

[luvstoned4him]

I do strive for relationships that contain all but sometimes I dont get whole 5. However, I agree that they are very important for any relationship to stand the test of time

There are other 5 C's Frameworks for focusing on different parts of relationships.
I just thought it would be of interest for people on this website, so you're right I have included a few extra 'C' but there's also a few more.
