Recipe for a good relationship
Like any good meal, a relationship also requires the right ingredients to work and work effectively. But not everyone knows what it takes to make the wheels on the relationship bus go round and round.
What do you think is the single most important thing required for a relationship to be successful?
Karl, 38:
Trust. If there is no trust then there is no relationship.
Oliver, 41:
I think communication is what it takes to make a relationship work, and without it there is room for misunderstanding and unnecessary arguments.
Leo, 45:
Love. There has to be love for it to be successful.
Renee, 27:
Passion. And I don’t mean just sexually. I mean there has to be that energy that keeps the love boiling and keeps the unity going.
Jacinth, 38:
For me, it has to be openness. There has to be a level of frankness where both partners can speak freely without there being a sense of one being judged.
Sonia, 24:
My big thing is honesty. Speak the truth at all times no matter what it costs.
Dale, 32:
Good sex. Let’s keep it real, if the sex is bad no one is going to want to put up with that.

Maturity. Not everyone knows how to function in a relationship and once you don’t have the maturity needed to survive a relationship, then it’s doomed.
