@Helping2findAway I agree with you 100%! All the relationships I have had that are based on open communication and a REAL sense of respect have been truly fantastic connections. They last longer and are much more fulfilling to participate in.
Thanks for a great thread and some interesting food for thought!
@Helping2findAway Yes, I agree with you as well! In fact, there is actually a theory called the "triangular theory of love" (see here), which basically states that love is made up of intimacy, passion, and commitment. The longest-lasting, more impactful kind of love includes all three. Love that is just about physical attraction, or just about big displays of affection, or just about friendship, is not enough. I think communication and understanding plays a big part in all three of those aspects. Trust and respect, especially, are the pillars of all love. It's great that you've found this insight!

If only the key to relationships was this simple, perhaps there would be a lot less break-ups and divorce would be significantly less. There isn't a one size fits all for healthy marriages and relationships. There are core components though - which I think you're beginning to touch on, but I find this post underdeveloped and very misleading to people that are looking for answers, pathways to happiness, and mending damaged relationships.
I see the spirit behind your post - I do, but I think that to make statements like this can be harmful - even though I know this is not the intent of your posting. You mean well, I get it.
Relationships are complicated because people are complicated.
I would certainly agree with you that communication and respect are certainly key core component parts of a healthy relationship - but that is barely scratching the surface. I'd love to see this post developed further into something more well rounded - so perhaps you could expand on your initial thoughts.
@Helping2findAway I agree with you ^_^
