Over the many years I have been married and having observed other married persons, I would like to list a few qualities I think are necessary in order to achieve the likihood of a good, healthy relationship.
1. Trustworthiness: Do what you say you are going to do.
2. Respectfulness: Do not hurt the ones you care about with negativity and harsh words.
3. Compassion: Put yourself in another's shoes--the best that you can.
4. Humor: Realize that humor has a definite place in a good relationship.
5. Intimacy: Put down all barriers--if you don't feel safe, you have a problem.
6. Courtesy: Treat someone else as you would like to be treated.
7. Ability to Communicate: If you didn't learn as a child, it's not too late.
8. Responsibility: Be responsible for what you do and say.
9. Forgiveness: Learn to say you are sorry and when you say it, mean it.
10. Helpfulness: Be available to help others -- even when you think they least need it.
Do you have others to add? Please let me know what qualities you believe are necessary to have a successful, happy relationship.
