What are the important things in relationship according to you ?

1) Trust

2) Communication

 

Freedom
Trust
Backing each other up
Sex

 

I won't get close to someone unless they have:

A sense of honor (people who don't have ideals for how they treat themselves will probably try to treat me like shit).
Loyalty (if there's no trust there's no significant relationship)
Humility (to admit a mistake or success)
Sincerity and truth (to tell me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear)
Some common interests
Care/love for the good of the other

 

++ what FA said.

 

Meeting the other persons needs, as this also meets my need to be useful and live up to my ideal of being a loving partner.

The freedom to pursue my own interests and have alone time, within the context of a supportive relationship. I would of course grant this freedom to my partner.

Fidelity.

Mutual goals - the important one for me is to raise a family in the future, and for them to be brought up with love rather than worldly expectations.

Fun! To be able to act like a kid sometimes and for my partner to join in. Also to share adventures and explorations in the world, in ideas and in bed

What are the important things in relationships according to you?

Great list and pretty mch what I want as well. I would add only that the sex must be passionate, adventurous, imaginative, but maybe that goes without saying.

 

I agree with what people said above. But, I also wanted to add that I want intimacy as well. Not just in terms of physical, but in terms of someone opening up their soul to me. I want to be accepted exactly as I am, and I want somone who is comfortable showing exactly who they are to me, too.

 

Emotional Intimacy?

That and Personal Growth I'd say are most important to me. Most other stuff goes without saying.
