RESPECT

The first important thing has to be respect, there just has to be mutual respect, you have to respect me, just as much as I respect you. You have to be respectable as a person , which has to do with the way you carry yourself. You also have to respect other people: their opinion, wishes, privacy and even decisions. You can argue without trading insults, that's a sign of respect. 

Respect involves choosing your words carefully, honor boundaries, show consideration, being willing to compromise and acknowledging contributions.

TRUST

Trust is a key factor in any relationship, you have to be trustworthy. How can your comfortably conduct a business with someone that is reputable for his mago-mago ways? How can you have trust in a relationship where one spouse is always cheating? How can a friendship survive without trust? If you knew that your friends bad mouth you immediately your back is turned would you maintain that friendship? See why trust is so important? 

Trust is what gives you confidence in any relationship. You can answer the questions below to measure trust. Are you reliable and dependable? Do you keep important promises and agreements?Are you a pillar of support?

UNDERSTANDING

Can two walk together unless they agree? You cannot maintain a relationship unless you are understanding, understanding of people's feelings, of their actions and their decisions. If you understand that your wife has been working all day just like you at the office, you would help her out with house chores. There are just so many scenarios where all people need is an understanding ear and hugs.

Mutual love, respect, trust, and confidence between the two partners can develop only after you develop a good understanding. Unsuccessful relationships are mostly due to misunderstandings that develop and understanding of the core issues is some what diverged.

COMMUNICATION

There's no relationship without Communication: you have to communicate effectively by actively listening and speaking. Don't bottle up feelings and when you have to speak about an issue, communicate without attacking the other person. It's better to say "I feel unhappy when I come home and the living room is untidy" than to say "you are just a dirty pig, see how filthy this place is"...which do you think will get a better response?

Learn to listen, Make thoughtful gestures, Always do more building verbally and non verbally, Be honest and share your feelings...these are all forms of communicating.

LOVE
Oh Love! Love is very important...love is kind, love is patient, love does not envy, love does not boast, love is not proud, love does not dishonor others, love is not self-seeking love does not keep record of wrongs, love is not easily angered, love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres...Love never fails. Need I say more? Source Bible

FEAR OF GOD

Hobbies must include fearing of God. LOL Somebody wey nor dey fear God can do anything...I'm telling you. A woman will not say " Oh my husband is so handsome so I won't cheat on him"...it is the fear of God that prevents that. When people have the fear of God, they are answerable to God first before you, so in any situation they will be trying to do the Godly thing, not necessarily because of you, but because of that fear of God. That's why people are always advised to marry "God fearing spouses". A business man with the fear of God will not dupe his customer...Fear Of God: Very Important.
