Ras Ravin-I brother u said it all. a relationship consist of everything that everyone has said. But the two main components that are the pillows ARE: MONEY AND SEX. i dont mean this in a shallow or forward way but those are the pillars on which a relationship stands. money is needed to survive in this world a wombman needs a man who will support himself and there family. and we all need to copulate to reproduce and have intimacy. trust honesty loyalty all those things falls in between money and sex. the bible speaks on it also ill find the chapter and forward to the I's give thanks for the elaborations
I don't think money has any place in making a relationship work? Money is a trading device to get what one needs to sustain themself, so if money was replaced with another item of value that would be more important e.g. in Zimbabwe food is important than money right now? Know I self, realising that you are not perfect and appreciating that flaws also exist in your partner and respect (knowing each other boundaries).
I&I doh feel that a relationship/marriage can be summed up into 2 components. Not to sound corny, but the main thing you need is love. Once you have love, you can work from there. Everybody has different wants and needs, some ones like to be dominated in a relationship, others believe is requires a balance (as I&I do), and some like control; overall, HIM should be a major component in any relationship, as love is a divine manifestion of the spirit. I&I am not sugar coating what it should be like though. We, in our own heart of hearts, know what is required of a successful relationship. It cannot be generalized en masse, in I&I open-ion.
