I agree that communication is the most important ingredient in a relationship. It’s not just any kind of communication but preferably heart-to-heart sharing between two persons. I’m lucky that I spend a lot of time with him, just talking. Or rather gossiping. You won’t believe how much silly things we still do in our relationship. He always makes fun of my things and it makes me laugh. We always call each others funny nicknames too. Just as if we are still children. It really keeps us close together.

Real relationships take effort, time and commitment. Great relationships just don’t happen because two people love each other very much, great relationships happen because not only do two people love each other very much, they also value one another and are willing to make an investment of time into the relationship, day after day. Happy relationship doesn’t come naturally. It requires hard work and effort from two persons to be happy together.
