In this day and age people get married after very short times of knowing their significant other, or at a majorly young age, Which leads to a very messy divorce. Most people that get married put little to no effort in. If they hit a rough patch they just quit. But that is not what love is, yo don't give up when things get rough you power threw it and smooth things out. Giving up is should not be a first thought when things get hard.... Try.

Sam I agree they do get messy and my perspective is the same that why when most people get married they should wait till it is a strong relation ship and then maybe move in if it is a good relation ship

Characteristics or qualities for myself would be that the man would need to be humorous, if he wasn't funny, the conversations between us would be boring. Being tall than me is a big deal, if you are shorter than me that would be weird considering my height. Trust, if you don't trust them with your secrets, why would you trust them with your heart (went deep there). Respect,if you don't respect or give respect it is not a healthy relationship. Patience, if he doesn't have any patience for you to be ready for anything that is a deal breaker. some deal breakers are being way too protective, telling me who I can hangout with or where I can go with/without him, being a liar.

In my opinion, I think everyone should be allowed to marry, no matter the race, sexual orientation. If people can get matter to non living objects, why can't two females get married. Using the excuse, it's not natural, should not even be allowed. Marrying an animal, or a inanimate object, is not natural, but they can get married.

The most important qualities for me is common interest in a relationship, if you love going on adventure and loves doing sport and your boyfriend/girlfriend doesn't that's not going to work out if he/she likes staying inside playing games and become a potato coach you need to find some that likes some stuff you like. Caring, trusting, honesty and being respectful is other important qualities.

I think trust should be the start with being in a relationship, trusting that you can text them when you need to or just trusting you know they're there for you. Sex is something that comes to the end of the relationship because why would you start at the finish-line and end at the beginning?

If I was in a relationship, I would want to be able to trust the guy I'm dating. I'd want to make sure he's not keeping anything important from me. Plus, I don't think dating should be taken lightly. You shouldn't just date someone you barely know or think just looks good. You should get to know that person to the point that you can trust them 100% and you know them well.

Me personally I would rather have a relationship built on trust rather than sex. Relationships aren't what they used to be, we should be able to talk to our partner about what we want and not be afraid that it's not what they want to talk about or in some cases what they want to "do". We should have relationships that are more like brother sister relationships than sex slavery relationships. That is my perspective on Relationships now a day. Even though not everyone agrees with me that is fine by me! It is my point of view and I will not let anyone change that

I'm going to be talking about relationships. There needs to be a lot of trust in relationships. Without trust there is no relationship. In a relationship there can be fighting/arguing but not to much else it can be not a good relationship. In a relationship there has to be responsibilities like taking care of their kids,and paying bills,and being faithful.

In my opinion, everyone and anyone should be allowed to marry who they want; no matter the race, sexual orientation. If someone can marry an non-living object, an animal, get married then divorced 48 hours later, than someone should be able to marry, even if the person is the same gender/sex. Also, by saying, that it's not "natural" for someone of the same sex as you to marry is messed up. Honestly. How is marrying a blow up doll, a building, or anything like that "natural" . Another thing is, even if being homosexual was a choice, people choose to rape people, they choose to be mean, the choose to murder people, they choose to hate on someone for being "different" and THEY can still get married. I believe in marriage equality, and everyone else should too.

I think dating and relationships are very important in your life. If I would be dating someone, it can maybe lead me to good or bad situation. I would get partner for life, or lesson for a day. So, to keep your relationship for life we should accept them for who they are, and give value to their opinions and trust them. We should not judge them on their race, culture, looks, personality and language.

the five qualities that i think are important in a romantic relationship are trust because you must trust each other to have a true relationship. honesty because it is a bad relationship if your lying to your girlfriend/boyfriend in a relationship. promise keeping because if you break a promise in a relationship you lose trust. athleticism because if you like some sports and your girlfriend/boyfriend like those same sports that is some thing you can do together. same interests because you can do those hobbies or listen to the same music together.

If I was in a relationship I would want 3 qualities in it. I think love is the most importnant thing in a relationship, if you dont love each other why are you in a relationship then? Another thing is trust because a relationship without trust just doesnt work, it will end up to divorce or break ups. If I had a girlfriend I would want her to be a basketball player or a fan because I want someone to play basketball with. i think the deal breaker of a relationship is 'cheating' because clearly if someone you love cheated on you they already love someone else or doesnt feel anything for you.

In my opinion I think dating is a good thing but you have to treat each other with respect.... When there is people dating you don't want to be in there relationship you should just leave the couple alone because they are happy with each other.... When the girl is ready for babies the girl will tell the boy and then they will have sex... But if you don't want to get Prego then you will have to use a condom but if you want to get pergo then you don't have to use a condom....

I think that same sex couples should be able to marry just like heterosexual couples do . They should be able to have the same rights as heterosexual couples . In some countries in brings great shame to your family if you are gay. Most people try to hide it because they are scared to tell their friends and family . You should be able to date who ever you like it doesn't matter what sex you are you should be able to be happy.

This assignment has definitely made me realize how our generation handles relationships. Now a days people just get into a relationship either for sex which isn't right. Also some people will just throw around "I love you" like it doesn't mean anything or if they were only dating for 1 week or two. But they don't realize what it actually is until they have been with that person for a while.

With Relationships now-a-days more and more kids are dating at a very young age and not taking it seriously. Maybe because they are having social media accounts like Facebook and Twitter,and are exposed to different things, like drugs and having sex. I don't want to get into a relationship until I'm mature and old enough to understand what there is to be in a real one.

This assignment I found out the deal breaker for me. It is being in a long distance relationship when the other person is living far away from you. If I had to choose to continue to be in a relationship and my partner was moving I wouldn't want to continue with our relationship because I couldn't handle not seeing the person. But if my partner didn't move far from where I live I would still consider being in the relationship.

For me, a healthy relationship would be someone who is your best friend. Someone you can tell anything to. Someone who will make you smile everyday and make you the happiest you've ever been. Someone who treats you good and with respect. Someone who will show you how much they mean to you. Someone who really loves you :)

A healthy relationship for me would be trust and willing to listen to each other. You have to be able to communicate with each other with an open mind about everything. Taking responsibilities for your actions speaks highly in a person which gains trust. I have learnt once trust is broken you have a hard time to earn it back if you even can. I feel all relationships need trust for you to have a happy future with the other person.

A healthy relationship is made of mutual respect, trust, honesty, support, good communication.
Respect is important because when people have respect for one another they are able to communicate much better.
Trust and honesty are important. If people can't trust another person, they have nothing. It could be an employer not paying you for work done or a bank saying they don't have your money after you made a large deposit.
Supportive relationships, at our places of work and in general life, are critical in maintaining effective and sustainable leaderships. It also improves an individual's well-being by belonging among people who care about you.
Communication is important in a relationship its helps in creating a connection between the partners. It enables them to share ideas, interests and also support each other.

I think dating is important to some people because they should both feel safe and happy with each other. If they are constantly arguing, fighting with each other it's not a healthy relationship. There should be trust in the relationship because with out trust there is going to be a lot of texting from each other,
example "where you going" , "what time will you be back".
Be honest with each other tell every thing with each other.
There should be good communication too.

I also don't want to date someone because of there looks nor do i want them to date me because of how i look.

I think trust is very important in a relationship because you should be able to trust your partner through the good, and bad. Along with trust I think respect follows. Respect is very important with your partner. How can you continue on with your relationship treating them bad? Another important aspect is building a good friendship. Friendship is important in so many ways because without a good friendship you cant build trust or respect.
