i saw this on a blog awhile ago so i figured it would fit.

Communicate - The reason why just about any relationship has problems, whether it be a romantic one or not - is there are certain things that one party is not providing, that the other party is EXPECTING them to. When someone does not live up to these expectations, it leads to hurt, anger, bitterness, and spite. The thing is, sometimes they aren't even AWARE you wanted or needed these things! There are 2 sides Talking and Listening. Guys: You will need to LISTEN to pick up on the subtle clues and small things that your girl likes.
Girls: You will need to TALK to us and let us know how to make you happy.

Adapt - Most people come into a relationship with ideas about what they think the other person is going to be like. They're going to always be sweet, funny, in shape, talkative, attentive and so on. This is NOT the case. The longer you are with someone, the more you will notice their flaws - and even though sometimes you will want to change them, often your best route is to adapt and compromise. Understand that it is not your responsibility to change someone. Just focus on loving them for who they are.

Kiss - This is the simplest rule. Be affectionate! Some people don't like PDA, but almost every girl likes it when you make it evident that she's your girl in public. Hold her hand, kiss her cheek, pick her up when you hug her.

Kiss, hug, cuddle, nibble, wrestle...you get the picture.

Excite - Every relationship needs some level of: "What's going to happen next?" ... at least until you get really old and it's just exciting to see who wins the Showcase Showdown on the Price Is Right. When a relationship starts to get stale, that's when it starts to fail. Basically, do something new and be spontaneous.

So those are the 4 rules to have a good relationship. Its easy as pie. Alright, so maybe it's not exactly easy. But at least it's simplified.

Plus - the four rules spell out CAKE! and everyone loves cake.

*sorry for the long post. haha.

Friendship, that is where it all starts and have lasted from what i've seen.

yeah, so some can be more messed up then they are? YEAH RIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT

I second that....................

What I've noticed that has killed relationships is, lack of communication, lies, disrespect, ignorance.


I'd second the mention of the need to be friends as well as lovers. Then you need to communicate (listening as well as talking to each other. You can't communicate with people if you don't listen too). You need to be honest, with yourself and your parter. Show respect for each other's feelings. And finally, in the words of Wil Wheaton, "don't be a ****"
