Obviously it is a combination of many of those, but personality is the biggest of the ones listed above.

Sense of humor equals good personality, and even if things get rocky or weird in bed, you can at least laugh about it together.

Initially I chose my partner on physical attraction, my relationships are chosen by personality, humor, etc.

A lot of these are really important to me. But personality is going to be what draws me in at first no matter what. If the person has a crap attitude, I'm going to assume they aren't a friendly person.

Personality/personal beliefs about social justice issues. They have to be in alignment or we'll end up fighting all the time.

I think the sexual attraction draws you together but everything else keeps you together

Personality, humor, intellect, spirituality (not religion)...those are my top things.

All of the above, to an extant. If I can't agree with the person on most things I don't see how any sort of meaningful relationship can last.

When I started seeing my husband I'd say I was least interest in him physically (because at the time I really didn't know what I wanted/needed in a relationship, having never really been in one before) and I had no idea if we were sexually compatible or not. Luckily we had everything else in place (from us both thinking the other one was hilarious and fun to be around, to sharing nearly identical political/religious views), and everything worked out for the best.

So true, I also believe that it has to be a relationship of equals.

All of those are important to an extent but if I can't stand his personality that's a killer
