Dedication.

True dedication would have passion in my opinion anyway.

Passion or dedication? Why?


I think they go hand and hand in a relationship. If you have one, how can you not have the other?

I think passion is more important, as without passion, you'll never get to the point of needing dedication.

Passion can be fleeting.

Dedication *should* be enduring.

You can definitely have passion without dedication. And I'm betting you can be dedicated, but have lost the passion.

Passion. You can be dedicated to someone, but not be happy. I know a few people in that exact situation, just existing together because not wanting to hurt the other person.

I would think if you were truly dedicated though, increasing the passion in a relationship would be important if you felt it was lacking.

The triumph of hope over experience on my part I suppose.

You would think.

Still, though, you're not going to get to the dedication part without passion to begin with. So, that's why I feel it's more important.

I totally agree with that assessment when it comes to the beginnings of a budding relationship. What I am considering though by the question, is those who are already in defined relationships, whether it be 6 months, 5 years, or 20 years.

Where you hear the common "there is no more fire/passion/spark in our love life anymore". A truly dedicated couple should be able to explore that, and discover a way to reignite that passion.

So yeah, passion is of the most importance in the beginning, but becomes tempered and stronger with time through dedication.

There can be a lot of passion without love, though. You're not going to be in love in the beginning. It may be what gets you to the point of falling in love, though.

I agree. Although I think I can have both. But, ultimately, when the **** hits the fan, it's dedication you need.

You CAN have both, but eventually the passion fades and that's when the dedication got be there to bring it back.
