So the question is: what's really important? I believe that the key to all relationships, whether it be marriages, boyfriend/girlfriend, or interpersonal relations, is understanding, not respect, love, trust, or even patience, but it's understanding. Why? Because if you understand one another, there isn't anything that can't be overcome or accomplished.
I'll leave the rest up to you to think about... Find out what's really important....
I have got to ponder on that one a bit longer. Understanding is the key to a longer lasting relationship? Hmm.. I don't know. I think it relates to communication which is another important factor aside from all of the other characteristics you listed.
