The Valuable Four

Having a relationship involves team work between you and your partner. I feel there is four things you should follow in a serious relationship and they are COMMUNICATION, HONESTY, TRUST, COMMITMENT. I believe those four things are very important to having a strong relationship. Also, knowing that having these valuable things in your relationship losing one could weaken the others. For instance, say that you are in a strong relationship that has lasted for about 9 months and there hasn't been any serious problems during that time you were together. Then all of a sudden you find out your partner is cheating on you and you have all the evidence to prove it too. So out of the four key things I believe a relationship works off of two are broken and they are trust and commitment. Trust is broken because all that time you thought your partner was faithful now you can't trust that he/she is anymore. Commitment is broken because your partner supposedly cheated on you disrespecting the commitment you guys had. As result if you think about it half of the bridge you guys made in your relationship is broken now and will be difficult and challenging to rebuild. So just keep in mind having a relationship takes two not one and breaking any of the key "four" harms your potential for a long lasting relationship.
