Looking for a life partner and feel sexual chemistry will help you build a lifelong romantic relationship? Wrong! A recent study suggests that a long lasting romantic relationship requires strong friendship.

Researchers have found that valuing your friendship with your other half helps solidify the relationship with increased commitment, love and sexual satisfaction. And people who try to fulfill their personal needs through their relationship cannot sustain the bond for a long time.

The researchers feel friendship is the core for romantic relationships. In fact a relationship fails when the bond of friendship is not strong enough to help clear misunderstandings.

So build a strong bond of friendship with your partner, love and romance will follow!
