JAN_is: Does anyone else see the irony in this thread? Asking a bunch of people who have had failed relationships, some multiple, what makes a successful, loving relationship is quite humorous.
Maybe though, everybody is speaking with hindsight, and learning as a result of their past experiences.
Still funny though.
Agree, though I see there is no secret ingredient, rather it takes what is inside of us to make it work for each other, to make the relationship sucessful, and many have already posted the attributes a successful partnership needs, even counts for Panda's too:
richie40: What is the Secret ingredient to Loving Relationship? This question going out to inteligent people and not imature people with sarcasm, and dumb answewrs. Because Do we all really know the secret? if so, why are we all here, and why are there dating sites? But would be interested in seeing what Normal people views on this question.
I believe the secret ingredient is that you are friends. My best relationship was with someone who was also my best friend. We didn't start out that way, we started out as lovers, typical boyfriend and girlfriend. But as we got closer, we became best friends too,and that is what make the relationship last and become deeper and more important. We married and had a family. Sadly, the marriage has not lasted, but we are still friends. Being best friends doesn't mean we weren't romantic or passionate, we were. Lack of passion is not why the marriage isn't working. Anyway, I think that if your partner is also your best friend, that's what is the ingredient that makes a relationship last and makes it work.
cemercat: Ok, This is really deep so let me say that there are no answer, only questions. As for this site: If you build it, They will come.
This was a great movie that your quote is from (Field of Dreams with Amy Madigan and Kevin Costner) Coincidentally, it is also an excellent example of what a truly loving marriage is. (The marriage in the movie between the main characters).

If there is a secret?, then which road do we go to?, to learn that, "Ive stayed at the lights too long? have I gone too fast? and then got nicked!, have i gone too slow? and encouraged irrate behavour.,there is no secret,. Its not about, why, we are here, its to me' about, just doing and putting out there what we want. In a beautiful good way.. you were obviously a great swimmer like us all, that breath and live this life. ( As you were born!) Times get scary, times get lonely,times can be so much fun, dating sites are for ones whom, dig it, why not. Albiet behind the lap top...Welcome on board my friend. You are now flying at 20,000,000 feet, would you like a space suit.
