What makes a successful relationship?

Looks like communication is the key to me. I had two so-close-to-be-in-a-relationship-but-no-follow-up situation where it caused both of us to feel awkward towards each other. So in this new relationship I try to keep the line open. It's also one of my weaknesses where I tend to close myself if I have problems or things I dislike, so I'm learning as we go together.
I also find it useful to define our love languages. Do you guys do it too?

I think that's wonderful that you've been honest with yourself enough to admit where you fell short in your previous 'relationships'. My husband and I had gone to marriage counseling before we got married and we were given a test to find out our love languages. I scored highest in physical touch and affirmation. My husband scored evenly throughout all the results - we decided that I need to test each one regularly to make sure I am reaching him. lol

Thank you. :cute: Trying to improve is harder than I thought because there are many things affecting my mood every day and I'm the type who prefers to be silent when I'm not happy with something. This is so tough.
Aw, that's cute! At least you guys both know and can help each other about it. Me and my bf both have quality time and service.

I think that's great that you pretty much know how to express your love for one another.
I think quality time is very important in a relationship. Quality time is more than just being in the same room together too. I think most people forget that. I suppose this could be covered in communication as well. The thing is that I'd like to emphasize though is that communication is needed all the time, not just when there is problem.

That's true, I agree. It's really hard to talk when you have a problem, in my opinion. By talking about fun things, or hobbies, or anything else in general, we're creating a bridge so it's easier to open up when there are problems. This is a goal before we enter the relationship, but often forgotten once we've been in one.

A great relationship means you have trust, honesty, integrity, respect and love, perhaps – sensational.
A great relationship consists of being honest and truthful. Also it's best to listen to your partner and to talk. Communication is key, and of course don't be unfaithful. Look for signs if you're having issues, and talk, because then maybe if you're having a rough patch you can work together and work it out if you really care for your relationship.
listening, caring, doing stuff together and sacrifice. Get the couple to do that and they are sure to last a good while.
Trust honesty and comfortablility
