Trust and honesty

[WhiskeyGirl]

I would say all of the above!! ;)

OO, tough question Karen! I personally think all of them are important and don't know if one stands out more then the others.

I had a real hard time choosing one of those! They're all really important. I chose communication though, because if you don't have that, the rest is hard to keep.

Thanks for choosing, Maria! I just wanted to see which one stands out as the most important.

I picked honesty, but probably because FH and I are both so outspoken that communication is a given. We're both the type that you never have to guess what they're thinking, because we'll tell you! (Whether you want to hear it or not.) I know some very dull people who seem to be happy together, so I didn't pick humor or love. (I think we all have different defnitions of "love". Some women aren't happy unless they're in that giddy new-love phase of a relationship, then when things settle in, they say they've "fallen out of love".) You can't possibly have respect or trust if you don't have honesty, so that's what I picked.

I went with humor. If you can't laugh things off and realize how unimportant they are, you ar ein for a long road. Sean and I have an odd relationship. We don't dive into details. We don't feel the need to talk about every little thing. But, we both have the ability to realize not everything is a big deal, to just laugh it off or ignore it, and move on.

I think communication. Being able to talk about and talk through things, good or bad, that's what's important.

[SoontobeMrsClark07]

I'm saying communication as well... I think all of the things above are really important and are all keys to a successful marriage, but without communication, its hard to keep the rest..

[WebLady]

I didn't vote because I think all are equally important. I think you have to have all these things.

[70707Bride]

I voted Honesty but I think that Communication goes with that and Trust. Every one of those choices are important though.

[Jopet]

Well I think it's all of the above but I ticked respect- respect for each other, respect for your relationship, repect for maybe having to work on it at some stage, respect that you can trust eatch other. LOL ok i think I have used the word enough :bbeek: .
