1. Communication is the most important in a relationship. Some people say it is the key. Without communication, everything falls apart. It matters in a friendship, intimate relationship, business, or work relationship. The lack of communication sends the message of not being interested anymore, or the willingness of breaking up, without hurting the feelings of the other one.
2. Honesty is important, because otherwise, the person you are in a relationship with, can get the wrong idea of your intentions, or actions. If you want the relationship to last, talk openly about the problems you have, and find a solution. If it's an intimate problem, don't avoid it, don't be embarrassed, work it out.
3. Honesty brings us to trust. Trust is important, so you don't worry when you're apart; about the safety of the partner, or loyalty.
4. Understanding is also the element that strengthens the relationship. Sometimes you need to be apart for a while, for work, or health reasons or need a "me" time. Sometimes you need comfort related to a problem. Sometimes you enjoy an activity that your partner doesn't. Either do it alone, or together, but don't forget to communicate about it.
So, you see, all those four aspects are interconnected.

Agreed with you regarding Communication. I capitalized that because its important. Yes, honesty is important. For me, I believe in the Foundation of 5 Cs in Relationship and Marriage. That is part of my motto: Christ, Common, Charity, Communication, and Commitment. OK, Christ is because I am a Christian and I prefer a Christian woman and that is, 3 in one. Christ in relationship as said in Bible. Long to explain. Common is when both are equally yoked. Having a lot in common interests and goals. Charity is love. Communication I believe there are two kinds. One is face to face communication that you have to talk about or deal with issues, but also telling supportive such as "I love you" etc. And encouragement. The other part of Communication is when both have equal level of communication. For example, I had an ex-girlfriend whom I had hard time understanding her! Her level of talk, speech, grammar, etc are off and I am quite high in IQ. So, that is what I mean by 2nd kind of Communication. Commitment you can figure that out and honesty is part of that Commitment. If you want to commit in relationship, you have to be honest. And noticed all of them are C? Just like the foundation in the ground when you build a house or a building. Concrete / Cinder-blocks. All C! I can name 46 more Cs! But I will end here. I use this 5 Cs as my motto. People of it. Hope that helps.
