Discussion: What do you think is the most important aspect in a relationship?
Hi friends!
This is my first time posting a thread and I wanted to ask this question:
What do you think is the most important aspect in a relationship?
Let me know what you think
@glistexnc
The most important aspect in any relationship or friendship is mutual trust and honesty😄. Coz a relation is guided by feelings and emotions of both the person, hence mutual affection is needed. If its one sided, its like chassing after one and it will hurt the other one.

Exactly what I was going to say. Also support and acceptance. Your partner should be someone you feel you can always turn to. Sadly, I don't feel that way with my husband now.
@niceDaisy36
Very true 👍
I believe honesty and fairness in communication, and communication in general is the most important aspect of any relationship. All relationships require communication, and without honesty there can be no trust.
Without honesty, we might as well be in a relationship with a scorpion. 😱 You never know when you might get stung ...
Also important is gentleness in being honest, as brutal honesty could alienate those youre in the relationship with.
Thanks for tagging me! 😊💕

Thanks Abby for replying 😊
Yes you are correct about the 🦂scorpions.i have faced many fallen friendship where at the end i realised that oh those so called friends were actually fake friends and really scoprions ready to sting me.
I believe mutual trust and commitment to relationship and friendship is really necessary.sometimes we are in connection with people and we feel they also love us but actually they are faking just to get help .when those veils are removed and their real personality is discovered its really hurts.
Am happy to have some people in my life whom i love and they too, i hope our connection grows stronger😊
Trust. No matter what the nature of the relationship is, if you lose trust it means nothing. Trust allows both people to honestly to 'keep it real", even if the relationship changes.
Hi! Good question!
For me, this Q is easily answered in one (or maybe three) words - in part because I've talked about it or at least thought about it a lot!
According to me, the most important aspect in a relationship is: TRUST. and a very close 2nd, or perhaps a vehicle for TRUST is COMMUNICATION!!! So very important.
I'm not sure how you meant the "in a relationship" part - but for me anyway, these two aspects are quite -to- very important in basically every relationship I have: friend to friend, doctor to patient, client to counselor, neighbor who lives above you and you, etc. oh and definitely adult child to parent, and adult sibling to adult sibling. Even (M) to (L) here on 7cups! 
Yup, pretty much all relationships - for me anyway - are based on Trust ... and Communication is huge, and a powerful way of working toward building trust.
Platy
P.S. I know you did not ask for this, but a tad bit of extra information 
... I had a textbook in college (which was more like a 'regular' book, probably in the Self-Help section) with the title of "Relationships." The authors are Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott, for whom I have come to respect greatly - even if 'just' through their writing. I really would like to meet them someday! I'm not quite sure of all of what they do outside of writing - but my guess is part of their time may be presenting/talking/seminar-ing about relationships for a weekend perhaps. Yes they are married and yes they are both doctors - within the psychology field.
P.P.S. I almost forgot! Their book now has an 'updated and expanded' Edition with the title of "Real Relationships: From Bad to Better and Good to Great." (okay, the end. actually now.)
Trust
@glistexnc To me it's their personality and trust.
@glistexnc unconditional total devotion and dedication
Do not think of your parteners as "posessions", everyone is a free person, think how you can make your partener want to hang out with you not out of "relationship duty" but because of fun and attachment, whether you enjoy things together or go through hell together...you know your half is with you even if your half cannot help...you go through things together...trust? I do not need trust, only weak people need "trust". If there is attachment and dedication no need for words like "trust"...just a look in the eyes and you know all...insecurity has nothing to do with a true relationship...communication? In a true relationship you arrive to communicate almost telepathically without words... you know how the other feels, you know what tje other wants to say..."i love you's" are exchanged in warm conspirative silence...a lough, a pinch, a touch, a glimpse...a hearty laugh or a gut wrenching cry...oh, true relationship...i resume it in one word: one! 1! Together as 1! You just merge, that's all, you feel what the other feels even over great distances...inseparable....
