Do you know the secret?

Shared interests & beliefs, unselfishness, communication, spontaneity, respect, trust, unconditonal love. And I've really only scratched the surface here.

Well if we start from the beginning its (not necessarily in order)...... attraction, communication, compatibility, exploration (of each other emotionally, physically, socially, and mentally), then devotion.

The attraction can be menial but it must be mutual.

The communication must be equal (yes men.. you have to speak)

The compatibility is more flexible.However the more the better. Some people like people who are different from them.... they even each other out.

The exploration should increase through out the relationship. You don't ever want to become stagnant and not more forward.

The devotion should be complete. This means that you will not stray. You will stay the course with this person and are willing to go through the best and worse time with this person.

I know the secret in several languages. To make a long story short. Love , Love, and then Love some more!

Communication, sense of humor, trust, honesty, some similar interests (but not all-what would we talk about?) similar values and ideals...caring, love, respect...just a few thoughts.

Communication. Communication. Communication. And never stop doing the little things. =)
