  • The most important and the hardest thing to get
  • Very important, if you want it to be durable. A relationship is formed between two people. And if there is lack of honesty and open communication between each other, it cannot function correctly. It's like making a computer work without a hard-drive.
  • Very important indeed, if you cannot be open and honest with a partner then there is no true relationship.
  • without being honest and open in a relationship you might as well kiss it good by, as this leads to mistrust within the relationship.
  • It all depends on the relationship. If you are looking for a long term relationship with this person then it is best to be open and honest in the relationship. If it is just a fling then you need not to be soo open. Open and Honest communication are the key to make any relationship work well. In my case I never get open and honest communication so every relationship I have had dies because of that.
  • If you don't have open and honest communication you have NOTHING
  • Important for a good relationship, yeah! A wise friend of mine described occurrences of non-communication as like a brick. They stack up and up over time until you've got a big wall between the two of you. You can still be 2 feet away from one another and have no idea who the other person really is anymore...
  • That is the most important part in a relationship.
  • I think it is one of the most important things to have in a relationship. Me and my girl are very honest and open with each other. I could tell her anything and she the same. We work very well together because of this.
  • I am not sure any more. You end up being honest and they'll still s cre w you over so what's the point.
  • Without communication there is no relationship. It is doomed
  • YES! It is so important that is can not work w/o it---unless you have a relationship where this is not what it is based on...some relationships are based on money and sex---regardless you still need open and honest communication to have unity and cooperation.
  • well y ait is if you can't be open with the person then they could be holding sommething back from telling you therefore more of a chance of them cheating
  • I don't know of any way a relationship can survive without open and honest communication.
  • Extremely important.
  • if there is not a good comunication then whats the point of having the relationship. communicatiob is the key
  • Being open and having honest communication is very important. A good relationship relies on that. I believe that if a couple talk things out their can't be know misunderstandings.
  • Let's begin by looking at the issue another way. What kind of relationship can you have with closed and dishonest communication?
  • Communciation & Commitment go hand in hand! No communication could cause the commitment one has for the other to suffer.
  • without communication there is no relationship
  • 100% important.
  • If you are open and honest it could bring on emotions that are tough to handle, but if you are closed up and lie it will bring regret for the rest of your life. Even if you have done wrong and are HONEST about it, you might, remember might, lose a few minutes, afew hours,a few days, a partner, but you will gain RESPECT.
  • i feel like it is very very important.
  • If a person ever wants to move forward in a relationship, they're going to have to be honest and open. What relationship is based on lies and hiding important information?
  • It's everything. It's what keeps you together, it's what makes you grow together. It's what gets you over the rough spots.
  • yes it is! the one thing you need is communication. other wies how do you even know you feel the same? how do you know if somethings rong?if theres no communication then theres no real relationship in my oppion.if you cant talk how do you know what is in or not in the relationship?
  • It's in the top 3
  • Right at the top with Love and Respect
  • its the most important thing to keep the relationship goes, you have to be honest with every move, and every word you do and say for partner, but honesty comes from the heart. when you love someone deep in side your heart, you will do everything to your partner without pretending it, by the way it will makes feel happier than before you met your partner.
  • I belive it is very important. I believe the three things you have to have in a relationship is 1-communication 2-trust and 3-love, if you dont have those three things your wasting your time. those three things cover most of anything, if you cant be open with the one your with then you wont be very happy and if the one your with doesnt know how you feel cause your not open nothing will change or get better., cause it wont get fixed or solved.
  • verry because if yor not honest and yor other cheats you find out and get hurt or say you have sex they no they have an STD lie to you say they dont you believe them and Bang it spreads like a virus o wait it is
  • Very but to a degree. You should get to know the person over time before you start sharing your entire life story. Some things don't need to come up during the early stages of dating. Develop a bond and trust first than expand the open dialogue. You don't need to scare off potential prospects at the onset. Catch the drift?
  • The most important thing in my opinion.
  • There's nothing MORE important than that. It is the foundation of trust, and the mechanism by which any and all problems should be overcome.
  • It is the most important thing in the relationship
  • It is very important to have honest and communication in a relationship because i mean you're in a relationship with a person yo should be able to talk about whatever is on your mind. You really should be honest when you speak because things will come back to bite you and some people cant handle what goes around comes around so you should do better if you know that you cant handle it and even if you can handle that you should at least be open and honest about what you speak on so noone gets hurt in the process and if you are not sure that things arent going to work out for the good and you think someone will end up hurt you should end your relationship immediately because you don want anyone hurt or yourself so you let it be in an appropriate way.
  • I think communication is the most important thing..without it you don't truly have something real! :)
  • it's the most. if someone isn't communicating something it's bound to build up inside of them and maybe start affecting other aspects of their life and the way they interpret things. if someone isn't honest about something it can cause you to doubt things they say in other areas. If some one isn't communicating and isn't honest doesn't it make you wonder what they might be saying that's not true? maybe even i love you...i want to be with you?
  • Honest and communication is the lifes blood of any lasting relationship. I'm a very open and vocal person and I told my husband from the beginning if you don't want to know and hear the truth don't ask. We've been married 15 years, it's working so far. I've only thought about killing him once :)
  • VITAL! as oxygen is to live
  • Open and honest communication is the foundation of a relationship! Without it, there is essentially no way for the relationship to survive let alone thrive. Communication allows you both to express what you want and need out of the relationship. It is what makes a relationship!
