What qualities do you value most in a relationship?

What are some qualities that you value most in relationships- whether romantic or platonic?

For me, I really value honesty and communication in both romantic and platonic relationships. Taking stock of what matters the most to me helps me to consider which relationships in my life are thriving and which may need some work. I've also found that it helps me to think about what I could do better.

Naming the qualities that are most important to you can help build better relationships in your life. What are some qualities that you value?

I agree that honesty and communication are very important in my relationships! I think two other key components that I value are kindness and acceptance from my partner, friends, and family. If conversations are built on a foundation of kindness and an attempt to understand the other person, I feel more comfortable being vulnerable and building trust within my relationships.
