Honesty- A relationship filled with lies is bad. If you cant trust your partner, then who can you trust? The same goes for you. Dont misuse their trust. If they tell you a secret, dont blab it to your friends! And dont laugh either! Would ypu like it if this happened to you? No, you wouldn't. Trust and honesty are KEY!2. Selflessness- Dont always think about yourself! Nobody likes a selfish lover, and if you constantly think of yourself, you wont have time to think about them! Everyone needs to feel important sometimes. Usually, if you dont go into a relationship for gain, all thats left is love :)3. Respect- When your partner is with you, respect them. Dont treat them like a slave (Usually its the girls who say things like "Baby, I'm sooo thirsty, can you get me a drink?") Yeah, you can ask them for some help, or if it's not too big a task, like "hey, cand you hand me that _____?". That's respectable. Another thing to keep in mind is that if they're talking, dont interrupt them. On the topic of talking, if you are talking to your friends, but your partner is there too, dont ignore them! Try to include them, and if its not something they enjoy, or they cant relate, simply use your body language to say "Yeah, I'm talking to my friends, but I'm not ignoring you". Look at them every so often, sit or stand nearby, and just show them you know they're there. Remember. Do unto others.4.Flattery- Everyone loves to be complimented. Be sure to let your partner know that you love them, and that they have good qualities. 5. Communication- If you dont like something, let them know! Communication is key. Remember: Too much is annoying, too little is rude! Hope this helps people! :) Reply to this Article

 there is a very wise head on your shoulders.
Totally agree with honesty. If you can't be open and honest and totally 'be yourself' with the one you love, then what have you got? Honesty works best always.

Definitely! Never stop having fun together, because once a relationship stops being fun, it's a chore.
Thank you for reminding me about that!

 I have one also, never stop dating each other. The best relationships are the ones who not only love each other but truly LIKE each other. There is no reason once you become a couple that you should stop going on dates or leaving the kids with a baby-sitter to go out late sometimes. This will always keep the excitement of those first few dates you had together alive! :)
