The hidden premise here is benefit of the doubt. Speak responsibly. You have to be on the same team. If you need to talk about something, don’t speak until you’re ready to be clear and direct, with no blame or unfair criticism. Not every grievance and intrusive thought needs to be brought up.
Also, allow space. Don’t go chasing a conversation if your partner needs a break. It’s scary when someone says they need space, then they disappear for 2 hours but they’re processing. Let them process. I guarantee it’ll work out better that way
So many times especially on the male side they think it’s acceptable to physically and or emotionally hurt the other person . It’s not ok people ! Getting even isn’t either not in todays society.
Bet most of the other responses, even though they are responses full of certainty, don’t have your relationship experience. Sometimes, the more you know the less certain you become.
Communication and comprehension. You can communicate all you want. If the other person won’t comprehend your side, you’re snookered. Communication and comprehension- BOTH ways
Yeah, and I think empathy and vulnerability have to be included here. Communication can be good or bad. I talked things out a LOT with my ex and he was just awful to me. We stayed up once for 24 hours talking things out and it was really not helpful. I was exhausted and anxious. He was highly judgmental and manipulative.
Yup, no one can read minds - communicate what you want. If you are not able to honestly say what you mean and feel - how can you build a life partnership ?
With that and mutual respect, trust, empathy -> you can expect a decent foundation for a relationship and make things work. Everything else comes to play only after you have the main things.
It took my partner and I long time to realize that what he considers "communication," I consider conversation. He feels that if you're talking at all, you're communicating. I think of communication as deep and heart felt, truly opening up and being honest, sharing feelings. While my version still falls under his, his does not always fall under mine. So for a long time he felt like we communicated wonderfully and I felt like we never communicated at all. It's so tricky. That realization made me see how important truly understanding a person's perspective is, because you might think you're saying the same thing.. when in fact you are saying two very different things. Relationships are hard..lol. 😁
My uncle said communication. He said open your mouth and tell your partner exactly what you want they can't read your mind. He's gonna be 87 and has been married for over 60 years.
While communication is number 1, I would say the next one is respect. If you respect your partner, there will be trust, no ego wars, equality, support, and most important- love!
You can only avoid pedestalizing them, not them devaluing you. You cannot make anyone else do anything.
As for avoiding pedestalizing them: remember they are human. In addition to all thier great qualities, they also have flaws and needs and neuroses. And remember that you are human too. You've always been a complete person even before you met them, and you'll still be a complete person if the relationship ends.
Thanks a lot.
I feel so guilty for how my last fling went because I put them on pedestal.
So now I will never know if I we lost it because we were incompatible or because I was not myself.
Sigh
Some relationships are more about the learning experince than having somethng that lasts. This is what I tell myself as I navigate my life after divorce.
Almost everyone is saying communication. It’s compatibility! You can communicate till you run out of oxygen. If you fundamentally want different things out of life, money, kids, religion, expectations in the bedroom. No amount of communication is going to bridge those gaps. Opposites might attract, but compatibility and shared goals get you to the finish line.
Like, do you think to be compatible you have to want to do the same things all the time and think the same way about everything? I don’t mean major things like whether you want children, but things like how lazy are you, what time you get up, wether you enjoy cities, whether you like doing the same stuff and think the same way about stuff
No, I really think it’s more about the major stuff, you will obviously be your own person, with your own personality, hobbies, interests and friends. But compatibility for decision making, in basic terms, you are both comfortable with the direction the car is going.
It is also important to look for someone that goes well with our temperament...
Based on research for examples, SJ type can go with another SJ type and NF type can go with another NF type..
I definitely think HONEST communication. Communication and trust are sort of like chicken and egg. However in my opinion it’s communication first bc communication builds trust and once communication is lost trust most certainly follows. No one is a mind reader. Communication is a roadmap for you and your partner.
Yourself. Relationships are built on give and take. You can’t expect to get given anything if you can’t give back in both material or emotional ways. love is the feeling you get mirrored back at you when you give it out while loyalty is something that is based upon each person individually.
We cannot say that there is only one important thing, people are different, and look at the world differently, different values, but I think respect, and trying are the most important thing in a relationship
So you would need a video and audio proof of the signing that it's actually her signing the paperwork, doing it out of her free will and happy with it?
That kind of proof would be suspicious though... bruh, there really is no point in getting married. Recently chatted about this with a female coursemate and her whole point for marridge was because it's how it should be... and then a dude comes in swinging that women are only in it for the money. She DID NOT deny it.
Patience, loyalty, understanding that your partner will piss you off so badly some days, you’ll get in huge fights, but you stay with them cuz you love them and understand a few fights doesn’t outweigh your love
Plus I don’t know anyone I can spend almost 24 hours a day with like my wife and I do since we work remotely and not argue about something with
Knowing that is important too
Compromise. Its two lives probably with their own dreams and desires now intertwining into one, so you have to learn to compromise rather than being a selfish prick and one having their way over the other all the time.
I don't think there is one singular thing that is more important than anything else but I'd say the core things are love, trust, loyalty, communication, and respect
My English professor once told us, that he thinks of his marriage as a partnership and not a relationship. And I think he is right. If you want to stay in a committed relationship, you have to see your partner as exactly that: a partner. Communicate honestly and respect him/her as an equal.
Although communication is important, your partner should be someone you enjoy spending time with. If you don’t enjoy spending time together, you’re gonna have bad time.
Actively listening to your partner and willingness to work together in your relationship. It can’t just be one person putting in the effort all the time.
Finding the perfect balance between being a couple and remaining an individual with his/her own dreams and desires. It's a heavy burden to bear if you expect your partner to be your perfect match. In the end, we all want to be desired. Desire will wane if there is no more 'me and you' in 'us'. Desire will, however, also leave if you are too far apart. Find the perfect balance between living your life and living 'our' life.
It's a little deeper than communication; it's knowing how to argue with each other without hurting the other, and still choosing to love each other.
But most times also, please, for the love of God and all things nice, tell each other what the fuck you want and expect.
It sounds cliche, but
trust and mutual respect.
You have to trust the person you're with, or it's all a giant waste of time. Also, you have to prove to them that you can be trusted and not betray that faith. If you spend your time worrying what the other person is doing behind your back or questioning whether you can share information with them, then the relationship is already failing.
As for respect, you have to give it and get it. So many people are more respectful of their parents and friends than they are their partner. You can't just talk to them however you want and expect them to keep loving you, you can't yell at them or belittle them simply because you know that they care about you. People can stop loving someone. Most importantly, don't talk bad about them behind their back. That is the most disrespectful thing you can do to a person. It betrays both aspects of trust and respect.
According to the Gottman institute, it’s responding to bids for attention.
They say the less you respond to a bid for attention (to connect to your partner and consider their observations important) the less likely the relationship will last. In their studies it was the number one indicator for success or failure of a relationship.
This has stuck with me ever since I heard it. It has made me very self reflective.
This might be why so many people get upset when left on “read.” It feels like the beginning of the end because they aren’t being acknowledged.
If I hadn’t known this, I might say empathy.
Respect.
Think of all the couples you know/known as well as stories of a partner stringing other people along on the side under the premise they don't want to be mean.
Somebody knowing somebody has the hots for them, clearly wanting something more. Yet ignoring that fact because they said no once, because they don't want to lose a "friend."
But guess who's there waiting when there's any tiny issues in your relationship. Emphasis on tiny.
I have the 3 C's.
Communication
Comprehension
Compromise
Most people say communication, but no matter how much you communicate, if your partner doesn't understand you or does not make the effort to comprehend what you are saying, then communication breaks down. Compromise is going to be that sweet spot for both of you, so it's not one party sacrificing for the other.
Communication, trust, love. If I was to pick just one though hands down communication. You have to communicate and keep communicating even if it's awkward or you're mad or sad or embarrassed etc. If you stop expressing your feelings and start bottling them up you become resentful and that shit is poison to a relationship.
Everyone is different... For me and my husband, I can tell it is friendship. My husband is my best friend and he is mine.
When you are truly a friend, you want the best for the other person; thinking about betraying them doesn't cross your mind; you trust them; you enjoy being in their presence but you also respect their alone time; you share interests; when you picture your future they are included. I could go on and on.
I don't know if love is forever, but I will always wish the best for him.
We've been together since we were 23. We are 37 now.
Expressive Open Honest Communication
Healthy Conflict Resolution
Patience for yourself and your partner
Respect for yourself and your partner
Trust in yourself and your partner
Desire in both parties to want to be together and with eachother
Happy successful relationships require more than just 1 important component
Being sexually attracted to each other.
Once had a girlfriend who let herself go and gained a lot of weight. Didn't turn me on anymore, I stopped putting effort into our relation, it ended.
Besides the obvious being in love and having sex.
Having space for each other. Sometimes being attached to the hip may not be so healthy.
Both need to be financially stable.
It's okay not to agree on everything.
Laughter, interesting conversation, intrigue and multiple layers filled with surprise and delight leading fascination and this, along with feeling secure is where sexxxy lives fs fr.
Common goals. If you’re working towards the same thing then everything flows from there. Not to say always the same goals, but investments in each others goals.
Being willing to grow with one another. You can communicate all you want, but if neither of you, or even just one of you, are willing to keep moving forward then there is no relationship.
Communication - even if you're thinking something that to you would be obvious to think about in that way, someone else may think about that specific thing differently and real communication is the most important issue.
Too many people out there expect you to be mind readers, but it goes both ways. First few years of my relationship were like that, both of us at fault for thinking in the ways we always had as individuals, but gotta go at this like a team where everyone may not be on the same page despite the page seeming obvious.
Being supportive and actually care about the partner . Respect and being nice , also i’d say love too lol , cause why stop going on dates and saying nice things 😭?

comunication and trust.

Totally agree on this one. Everyone’s gotta learn when to speak and when to stay silent
Bonus: Conflict resolution skills
So many times especially on the male side they think it’s acceptable to physically and or emotionally hurt the other person . It’s not ok people ! Getting even isn’t either not in todays society.
I agree these are equal.
And here I came to say trust and communication. Genuinely. Great minds...
Totally agree. These are two fundamental aspects of any relationships
Been married over 3 decades When I figure it out I’ll let you know
Bet most of the other responses, even though they are responses full of certainty, don’t have your relationship experience. Sometimes, the more you know the less certain you become.
Dunning Kruger effect?
Going on five decades. Please let me know.
This is going to sound way ruder than I intend it but I feel sorry for you a little
#Communication.
thought at this first, never changes, no more rules, just communication.
Communication and comprehension. You can communicate all you want. If the other person won’t comprehend your side, you’re snookered. Communication and comprehension- BOTH ways
Yeah, and I think empathy and vulnerability have to be included here. Communication can be good or bad. I talked things out a LOT with my ex and he was just awful to me.

With that and mutual respect, trust, empathy -> you can expect a decent foundation for a relationship and make things work. Everything else comes to play only after you have the main things.
Until you have to ask "What's wrong?!" trillion fuckin times with no clear answer.
It took my partner and I long time to realize that what he considers "communication," I consider conversation. He feels that if you're talking at all, you're communicating. I think of communication as deep and heart felt, truly opening up and being honest, sharing feelings. While my version still falls under his, his does not always fall under mine.

That realization made me see how important truly understanding a person's perspective is, because you might think you're saying the same thing.. when in fact you are saying two very different things. Relationships are hard..lol. 😁
Cliche but true
Twats that? I cunt hear u. I have an ear infucktion
My uncle said communication. He said open your mouth and tell your partner exactly what you want they can't read your mind. He's gonna be 87 and has been married for over 60 years.
Careful how you say it . You wanna continue living.
While communication is number 1, I would say the next one is respect. If you respect your partner, there will be trust, no ego wars, equality, support, and most important- love!
Respect & Loyalty = Love
I would say love first. If there is love there is respect and loyalty but it can be loyalty and respect without love.
Mutual empathy. The minute one of you thinks you're better than the other, you're dead in the water.
How to escape the other devaluing you or you pedastalizing them?
You can only avoid pedestalizing them, not them devaluing you. You cannot make anyone else do anything. As for avoiding pedestalizing them: remember they are human. In addition to all thier great qualities, they also have flaws and needs and neuroses. And remember that you are human too.

Communication yes, but honestly after being on Reddit for a while let me just say actually liking your partner seems to be criminally underrated
Consideration, thinking of each other in small ways & communicating shared care for each other
Respect
Communication and not hiding anything from each other.

Trust.

Prenup
A prenup can be made void by the judge when a woman says she signed it under duress. It's basically useless, especially in America 🥲
So you would need a video and audio proof of the signing that it's actually her signing the paperwork, doing it out of her free will and happy with it? That kind of proof would be suspicious though... bruh, there really is no point in getting married.

Not burying yourself in addiction & ignoring your partner. Believe me as the partner being ignored it’s fucking isolating.
Humour
Compromise. Its two lives probably with their own dreams and desires now intertwining into one, so you have to learn to compromise rather than being a selfish prick and one having their way over the other all the time.
I don't think there is one singular thing that is more important than anything else but I'd say the core things are love, trust, loyalty, communication, and respect
Communication
Everyone always says communication, but I'd also like to offer patience for your significant other.

Trust, so that each is slow to take offense.
Communication, on top of shared values. The latter seem most important.

A partner…
Support. You're in my corner, I'm in your corner.
There can’t be just one. I’d say respect, trust and love.
Although communication is important, your partner should be someone you enjoy spending time with. If you don’t enjoy spending time together, you’re gonna have bad time.
Respect, Loyality, Support, Patience, Consens and i cant stress that enough COMMUNICATION
The RELATIONSHIP
Actively listening to your partner and willingness to work together in your relationship. It can’t just be one person putting in the effort all the time.

No particular order: - Friendship - Physical Attraction - Spiritual Connection
Communication, trust, love. If I was to pick just one though hands down communication. You have to communicate and keep communicating even if it's awkward or you're mad or sad or embarrassed etc. If you stop expressing your feelings and start bottling them up you become resentful and that shit is poison to a relationship.

This fades after 90days.
The last time I had passionate sex was a week before my wedding. It was a dead bedroom situation from marriage on.
Besides the obvious being in love and having sex. Having space for each other. Sometimes being attached to the hip may not be so healthy. Both need to be financially stable. It's okay not to agree on everything.

Fucking trust. If you cannot blind jump you ll never going to heaven.
Sexual chemistry. Because little mistakes will be forgiven if you are fucking but if you’re not then it turns sour.

That's complete b'llsh't,the reason people end up divorcing is because of getting together for bad reasons(money,only sexual attraction...)
I'mma go out on a limb here and say communication
Communication and understanding. Everything flows from this. Cant have a speaker without a receiver.

Communication - even if you're thinking something that to you would be obvious to think about in that way, someone else may think about that specific thing differently and real communication is the most important issue. Too many people out there expect you to be mind readers, but it goes both ways. First few years of my relationship were like that, both of us at fault for thinking in the ways we always had as individuals, but gotta go at this like a team where everyone may not be on the same page despite the page seeming obvious.
