Has anyone said sex? I'm voting for sex. It is definitely in the top two. I like on top

Yeah, lack of sex or bad sex can really kill it, if you ask me!

Long-term relationships need a lot of what?Laughter, compromise, sex, or respect? And I would agree with all of the above but also throw in Respect, Patience, Communication and Trust

Maybe if people treated each other a little bit like strangers and kept that initial respect they have for one another, they'd never take the other for granted and never lose that initial "spark." Holding back a little might keep it juicy. I've always given it my all, and here I am....

i think people also need to think out side of the box and put in each other's shoes trying to understand each other from each other's point of view..

Communication, Consideration, Compassion, Trust and Honesty. Trust takes time to build and only seconds to destroy. Sex is just a small part of the equation, you could have great sex together but that might be the limit of your relationship.

I agree with mirrormirror and buffry on this one.I would say open honest communication and a true understanding and compassion for your partner are key.Too bad I learned these things a little too late but that's life.
