respect for the others feelings – a listening and understanding heart – open communication – compassion – giving of oneself to the other person – I say these as a single man but when I meet my 'soulmate' soon this is the relationship I want and desire and hope my future partner also has the same qualities in her desire for her partner as it has to be a 2 way relationship in every area – Caring and Sharing both the smiles and the tears.

I have to agree with the Indian Buddhist master Nagarjuna, when my husband and I first got married it was because we loved each other, but that brought jealousy and other troubles and over the years we finally figured it out that if we worked together AND trust each other we could work things out by talking to each other. DO NOT GET ME WRONG the jealousy is still there but it is like no big deal any more and we still have arguments but they are financial. What we have is very hard to describe, I love this man more than life itself but it is also more than that I also trust him with my life. WE WILL BE MARRIED 35 YEARS IN JUNE. I let my Husband do what he wants to do and he lets me do the same. At first our relationship was based on love, but that was an insecure type of love it is not the same as what we have today, and physical attraction was never a part of our relationship.

He has to be caring and loving, he has to be loyal and trustworthy. He should always be there for me during the tough times supporting me mentally and physically. He has to show love and caringness on important occassions. He has to respect my family & I. He has to understand my feelings and needs. He has to be flexible enough to spend time with me. Most IMPORTANTLY he have to be very honest with me. He has to understand where I came from. He has to make me feel very special and very loved. He should make me laugh not cry!!

Trust, love and physical attraction. no one wants to have unattractive partner, for that i disagree with the Buddhist master Nagarjuna.

Hi, ARINA. I find it curious that you posted a picture of a great looking couple on your post and then said something like physical attraction should not be a factor. LOL

Well if you mean that then why not post a picture of two unattractive people in love?

It was just a thought..

LOVE,

I feel the most important thing in a relationship is respect for the other feelings regardless. Communication is a big part also, but if there is no respect then communication will not be there.

The best way is for both to be honest

I agree with the 4 qualities expressed by the Buddhist Mater and believe there are some other ones that will fullfil any relationship and that need to be applied according to the need, but I also think it is very important that the people involved, clearly understand we all have Egos inside that will tend to focus in the negative, creating all the bad emotions like jealousy, hate, frustrations, resentment, etc.
If we all understand that and learn to use our minds like a powerful tool instead of letting it control and run our lives, all of us will have the chance to live in harmony, peace and joy ! Best wishes !

The ingredients to a healthy relationship is, God, honesty, trust, love and faith, if those are in place, the rest will follow…….. naturally!!!!

Hi.
I think the best you can get from a sound relationship is base on LOVE.PATIENTS AND COMPASSION.
There is a tin line between love and hate,so if the love fails,Patient will try to bring back the love,and if love proves stubborn, and patient too is tired,then compassion,as master of all will intervene.So if one really wants a sound relationship, the percentage will be. LOVE, 85%. PATIENTS,95% AND COMPASSION 99.95%.

hello, i’ve been wanting to ask you folks out there about my problem with my husband. we’ve been married almost 20 years, and i have never heard him say i love you to me, just because. i always say i love you to him. lately, i realized that he had never kissed me first, i am always the first one to kiss him. i am the type person who likes to hug and get hugged, he does not hug me not until i ask him to hug me which i had always asked him lately because i just feel so depressed. whenever i try to kiss him, he will say, he is late for work, or something else. i’ve had it last night, so i have not talked to him yet since last night. he works grave yard, fyi and had kept that schedule for maybe more than 15 years now. please respond any of you folks out there, i just feel so lonely, nobody to share this feelings. thanks!

Trish, you to see a marriage counsel. Whatever anyone would tell you. Every couple has a specific problem that needs professional guidance. It looks like the flame of love has fainted away and you need to revive that love specially for him. I cant tell you what to do bec may be it is just his nature. May be you need to go on a trip together or do stg romantic. Well my opinion is that you have to see a counseller. I have done this many times throughout my life and I have been married for 25 years now. I dont say we are the happiest couple but it needs a lot of work from both sides to make marriaage work.

Thanks Amani! If I am going to see a marriage counselor, it will just be me, because he does not like these kinds of counselors, but yes, I will see a marriage counselor. Thanks again and God bless!
