Relationships require...

Courage. Open communication is absolutely necessary, and this means saying things that might seem foolish or confrontational. Subjugate the ego in favor of discussion. This takes bravery.


Laughter. Wit and imagination make any routine a new experience. Jokes are puzzles for another mind to solve. Satire's ability to critique with charm is indispensable.


Understanding. Agreement is not necessary, and differences can spark wonderful conversations that go unresolved in friendships ("Who is your favorite superhero?!" "Would you get a tattoo?!",) but being able to see the other person's perspective and line of reasoning is important.
