What rules or guidelines are necessary in relationships?

What are the rules (spoken or not) that you have in your relationship? Or what rules do you think are important in order to have a successful relationship? Ex. No going out with members of opposite sex. What do you think is okay/not okay?What rules or guidelines are necessary in relationships?
Everyone who said communication is the KEY to the relationship is absolutely correct. My five basic values are communication, honesty, trust, open-mind, and respect. Those were my mother's values and I hold them very dearly close to my heart. I told my fiancee this and she had adopted them as her own.





You cannot have any kind of relationship without communication so it is a MUST to EVERY relationship, whether is it friends, family, lovers, or anything. Honesty is also key to the relationship since you need to be honest with the person. If you can't be honest with someone, there can be no trust at all. If you have the five basic values, I think everything will fall into place. Once you do not have communication, the relationship will fall apart and you will start to assume things that may or may not be true. Assuming things are a killer in all relationships. NEVER EVER assume things. Always ask the person to see if something is true or not.





One obvious unspoken rule is no cheating at all, meaning no sex with the opposite sex. Depending on who your partner is, some would say no kissing on the lips, but some would not mind it. Some people say that sleeping with the opposite sex is ok as long as you do not have sex, but some say that would be cheating. I think going out to dinner or lunch with the opposite sex is ok as long as there is no love affection between both of you. A very good example would be going to eat with a co-worker or a boss. Just remember that your partner is #1 and no one should EVER be placed above your partner, except for family. If you believe in God, he should be your #1, even if you are not religious like me.





In a healthy and strong relationship, everything should be equal between the partners. He should pay for the bill when you both go out, but you should pay the bill the next time around. That is what I believe. Equal share and responsibilities and compromise with each other as well. Relationships definitely need the couple to compromise with each other since neither of you may like what the other does or want sometimes. You need to learn to sacrifice yourself for your lover and it has to be both ways, not one way in a relationship. Once it is one-way, there is something wrong with the relationship.What rules or guidelines are necessary in relationships?
Important factors:


1. Trust


2. Commitment


3. Loyalty


4. Being able to have FUN








I think it's important to care more about making love than having crazy sex.


I think it's important to trust your partner, and not show jealousy.


I think it's important to remind each other that they mean something to you. That could mean compliments, doing something extra fun, or gifts.





The most important thing though, is having fun.


Smiling, and laughing until you can't stop.
we really don't have rules.


we make sure we run everything by the other person and if there is any doubt or worry the other person wont do it. and communication is key in every relationship. if you do something that is wrong and you know is wrong if you really love the person it will eat away at you until you tell the Other person the truth. hope this helps
So tonight, I go to see my girlfriend after two weeks because work has really been super busy. I wine her, I dine her, I get her all wet and worked up during dinner by telling her what I plan to do to her when we get back to her place.





On the way there, I start yawning. Instead of going to the garage to park the car, I pull into the courtyard of her building, causing her to make this sad face because she knows nothing's going to happen. And don't get me wrong, she is HOT-looking as well as hot in bed, a real cumslut behind closed doors.





Anyway, I can tell she's sexually frustrated. Me? I explain that I have to get up early for work, causing her to become even more sexually frustrated. I kiss her, drop her off and leave. Two minutes later, my cell phone rings. It's her. She asks ';Have you lost interest in me?'; I reply '; Of course not baby!';, afterwhich I falsely declare that there's a cop car in the lane next to me and hang up.








I love having this ***** in check!





Guys, always keep the upper hand with these w(ores.
never tell ur partner who they can/ cant be friends with... thats just mean. make it clear that if they have a friend of the opposite sex it bothers u if they spend more time with them...


um... if he pays for u when u go out, u should do stuff for him when u stay in, dont let him take advantage of u, but let him watch what he wants to watch (unless ur favorite shows on) offer to get him a drink and things like that... that ones definitely more of an unspoken rule


agree on a set amount of time to spend together during the week.. if u say 3 nights of the week... and u want to hang out a forth night more, he should say sure, but if he doesnt u cant really be mad


and just whenever one of u is stressing over something, the other one needs to take it upon themself to be very helpful
First is always be honest and true. No phone games or it is over. Too many people have friend of the opposite sex are just friends, ask to meet them first. When you are out together always walk holding hands or arm in arm. And always give the other one the courtesy of knowing where you are.
hi dear good morning.


if u think u should have some rules in relationship its wrong.....relationship should be free and open hearted.. u itself should not force u to be like tat.......


speak wit everyone freely....


if u like go out wit ur opposite sex or don go... don think they will think something ........ if they r u true relation say them freely i don like going out ....... they will understnd u if they r true.......
Respect and communicate ALWAYS. That's it. Every day, every situation and every other aspect of the relationship will be as different as the weather. Rules never work.
Number one rule is communicatio. if you dont have that then you wont have a healthy relashioship. if you have communication then everything will fall into place.
I think every relationship is different but the things that are not ok are anything that suggests sexuality
If I ever have doubts I dump them. I've spent a year with someone I couldn't stand because i was afraid of hurting them since they were nice, but annoying.
Always be honest. Dont go out with other girls, Dont look or make comments about other girls when Im around...
Really, only one: HONESTY
dont lie. dont cheat. and just give the time i want, and you'll get you want back.
give and take and keep the relationship two way
