Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Always telling the truth is the most important consideration in any relationship. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. Be sure to use your own words. Do not use memorized examples.

There are certain considerations or factors that everyone takes into account in a
relationship
. People may look for honesty, altruism, understanding, loyalty, being thoughtful etc! Everyone would more or less wish that the
person
s
/
he is dealing with, has some of these virtues above. Putting them in an order according to their importance,

can be very subjective and relative. When someone asks him
/
herself the question "What do I consider to be the most important thing in my
relationship
?" the answer depends on a lot of factors
such
as how his

her earlier relationships were. After stating that everyone's opinion can be different about

is the most important consideration in a
