Trust, IMO, is the most important.  If you don't have it, none of the other qualities mean very much.

Artiste:
I placed all of the above. And I would add much more too!!

To me, we must not forget that there are MANY DIFFERENT KINDS of relationships!!

Good thread... interesting!! May it keep on a very long time. I feel that we NEED it!!

More later... since I must rush to create my painting and do my chores too.

Hugs!!

Great poll Friend!  I actually picked "friendship" because I feel like that encompasses some of the other things like "respect" and "comfort."  And, the more I think about it, the more I realize that a baseline element of friendship is really crucial for me in a relationship.

forsythia12:
thanks again for the responses everyone.
it's interesting.  most people picked comfort, trust, commitment, etc....vs. sexual attraction and passion; however, it's those things that often times lead us into affairs, once some of those elments start to fade in our current relationships.  although, sexual, or romantic elements aren't things that hold a relationship together, often it is what attracted us to that person in the beginning, and the disolusion of it can make us stray.
sometimes the "comfort" can be too comfortable.
so.......any opinions on how to keep all the elements alive ......after a long time being together?
if anyone has been in a long relationship.....how have you made it work?

This is a really good question... because I've never been in a long-term relationship. :(  So, I'd surely like to know.
