Dr. John agony auntGood communication.

Place your mate above yourself as your mate should do with you.

You should both be ready to listen to the other and be reasonable about what they are saying.

I presume you are not married but what you want to do is use these keys to ensure a good relationship whether you are married or not.

I am supplying a link to an article which should give you some good insight on this subject. Please read it. It should answer your question better than I can within the scope of this website. Doc

A female reader, The Councilor United Kingdom +, writes (30 December 2007):

It's not just a matter of knowing each other, or making you laugh, or doing the right thing, it's a matter of surprise, keeping things on the boil, not only to interest the heart, but also the labido, shock now and then, surprise now and then, act out of character sometimes and that will not only keep them interested in the heart but also interested in the bedroom! It might sound harsh, but it is the reality of things! Love is strong, but the sex drive can make men go astray, or women, so do your best at being the best! And if you do, that is the percfect relasionship!Experiment! Don't worry about what other people think! Do what you fancey and you will enjoy a very fruitful relationship....said she who has done just that!

A female reader, anonymous, writes (30 December 2007):

What creates a good relationship is more than love, is more than communication, it involves living out each others fantasies, also it involves surprise and patience! Knowing your partners needs, knowing how to keep them on the boil; not every minute of the day, but often enough to keep them curious!

TasteofIndia agony auntBeing able to listen to each other, laugh with each other, respect each other, learn together...

Also, I think something that is important is to be adventurous together. It keeps the relationship filled with energy and keeps it refreshed.

A good relationship takes WORK (any relationship does), but it's worth it. Hope you find a wonderful partner!

dc.ryan agony auntThe ability to understand your partner, having things in common - being able to listen. Have an actual desire to be with each other, be attracted to one another.

Feel you always have someone to turn to, someone that will always support you and be there

^ Those are the kind of things that build a relationship.

Dawnie agony auntI guess a sense of humour, obviously trust and fidelity, shared interests and great sex!!

Seriously though if you laugh a lot together that brings intimacy and love on its own. Not taking each other for granted also is another.

A female reader, truly_unique New Zealand +, writes (29 December 2007):

trust and comunication are a very good start. there are lots of things relatiionships need but just like people every relationship is unique. Love (or like) is needed, if you dont have that then whats the point. being comfortable together alone and in public. Having a shared dirsction in life (this doesnt mean you have to want the same things but its not realy going to work if he wants to go to japan and you want to go to Australia). And the only other things i can think of this early in the morning (i havent had my coffee yet) have all got something to do with trust communication and love.
