I am sure that honesty and devotion fit in there somewhere.;)

Posted

Love, respect, trust, honour (principles, integrity, etc) and friendship, in no particular order.

How important is sex in a relationship to all posters?

Posted

I take that for granted :) so didn't cross my mind. But yes you are right. Honesty.

 

And well, why would you be in a relationship if you're not devoted?

But yes, would be applicable too.

lol to me it's a part. But doesn't feature in my list of 5 most important aspects of a relationship. Not that I don't like or don't want it. But I'm far more forgiving on that. Whereas I won't compromise on the others.

LS would not exist if that wasn't a problem to some.

Not each relationships ends due to lack of devotion. There are many many reasons why relationships end - sadly :(

Posted

Love (including passion), respect (includes honesty, trust, fidelity - you can't respect someone you aren't honest with, trust, and faithful to), communication, and laughter.

Posted

Honesty (which really means-no cheating)

Respect (which includes devotion and.......no cheating)

communication (and problem solving within relationship)

sex (mutual attraction and the hot&sweaty kind)

sense of humor (I appreciate the ability to laugh through the bs)

1. the size of his willy.

2. how much stuff he buys me.

3. how rich he is.

4. which cars he owns.

5. whether he has good hair.

Besides a timely death or moving away, what are some other reasons?

Love

Respect

Honesty

Stability (read: emotional--all this drama and wishy-washyness is so not wanted)

Sense of humor

 

That's all, really. Seems easy enough but it sure isn't.

 

As far as sex goes: Sure, it's meaningful, but it's not nearly as imperative as the above qualities. Sex with someone you love is and can always be great, imo, because it should be an act that surpases the more mundane view of what "hot sex" is.

1) Self Respect / Self acceptance / Self Love

2) Communication & Listening

 

That's it really :)

 

I should expand - because in my mind it's fairly simple. But clearly doesn't come across that way.

 

1) Self Respect / Self acceptance / Self Love (contributes to pride and confidence) - one has to have that in able to give respect, have acceptance (of the imperfections - life is not perfect - no one is), give & accept love. Love give and take is a must. All these to me are musts. No compromise.

2) Communication & Listening - without this, no relationships can be fulfilled.

3) Honesty (which is very much one of the utmost important aspects) & sincerity.

4) Trust - which ties in with honesty

5) Laughter (and fun and pleasure in the little things in life) - again - something I take for granted. If there's none of this to start with, it won't progress to a relationship.

Something as simple as falling out of love. One can be devoted to death - but devotion on its own does not equate love.

Great question. And it's a tough one for me to answer. Wait! That's it.

 

Me, me, me, me, and me.

Celebrating death is going a bit far.

I always thought that part of devotion is the love that you have for that person, but you do make a good point, oh wise one and owner of a new mattress.

Oh can I amend / expand my list again - I'm really not asking for much here am I ? :lmao:

 

I'd like to add

 

6) Commitment - which extends to actively working on a relationship

7) Passion - extending to the wider sense that encompasses life in general

 

 

Crikey, no wonder my relationships don't work. I'm clearly asking for too much :confused:

I agree with these ones, when answering honestly.

 

1. the size of his willy.

2. how much stuff he buys me.

3. how rich he is.

4. which cars he owns.

5. whether he has good hair.
