Communication - Is It Really The Most Important Part of a Relationship?

   We always hear that communication is the most important part/key in a relationship, while I agree that it is extremely important, is it really the most important?
   I was taking a quiz on Facebook and came across the age old question "What is the most important thing in a relationship?" Anytime I'm asked this I have a hard time answering, I want to say communication because that's what I've always heard is the correct answer, however it never feels right to me. Honestly I sat there, way longer than I should have for it being a Facebook quiz, pondering what I thought was the correct answer.
   As I sat there I thought about old relationships/"relationships" and one in particular came to mind where the communication was always there, however, what they said were lies. I immediately knew the correct answer, Trust. Your companion can sit there and talk to you all day long, but if what they're saying is lies, none of it matters. They can sit there and tell you how they feel and still be cheating on you and lying about you behind your back.
   It's simple if you can't trust them you shouldn't be with them. You don't want to go through your life questioning where they are, what they're doing, if what they're telling you is true; that's miserable!


I'm not sure why, but this thought just would not leave me alone, I took that quiz about a week ago and couldn't shake the feeling that I needed to share my thought.
If this is for you. I hope you listen and that this helps you. I'm sorry that you've had to deal with a person who was all talk but no truth. From the bottom of my heart I hope that things start looking up for you.
