The following qualities are necessary for a successful, long-lasting relationship:

Three ways in which acceptance of responsibilities will influence communication are:

1. When you accept responsibility you are accountable for what you say and do, so people can trust you and communicate openly with you.
2. If you make a mistake you apologise instead of shifting the blame, which prevents conflict.
3. People rely on you to do tasks, which builds respect in the relationship.

Three ways in which the attention seeker can improve their communication skills are:

1. The attention seeker should learn to give others a chance to talk instead of always wanting the spotlight. This shows respect for others and makes people more willing to spend time with them.
2. They should keep quiet at times and listen actively to others, allowing them to express their views. This shows that they are interested in other people and not only in themselves.
3. They should share the spotlight by praising others and asking about their experiences, which builds trust and makes relationships more balanced.

A: Respect, honesty, love and faithfulness.

Respect, honesty, love and faithfulness build trust and commitment. Wealth, looks and status are not values that keep a relationship strong.

A: can communicate confidently, firmly and politely.

Being assertive means standing up for your views and rights with confidence while still respecting the other person.

Three characteristics of a strong relationship are:

1. A strong relationship is built on honesty and trust between partners.
2. The partners respect each other and communicate openly about their feelings and needs.
3. They show love and understanding, and they are also good friends who enjoy spending time together.

A: repeat what you believe the person is saying.

Paraphrasing (repeating the message in your own words) is part of active listening. It lets the speaker confirm or correct what you understood, so misunderstandings are cleared up.
