Communication/consistency

Random question, but one that piqued my interest when speaking to friends!

What do you define as good communication and consistency in a relationship?

My take is that its daily communication, being able to share vulnerabilities, sharing emotions, being honest, being appreciative, knowing when each other need space, and being predictable with your reactions and responses.

A friend of mine sees it as effective conflict resolution and physical routine/structure.

Another friend sees it purely on emotional states.

It conjured up the question because it clearly means different things to different people, so I was curious what others think?

Ideally - a set daily routine, predictability. Eg starting and finishing the day the same way, always being able to talk etc. That happens sometimes.

IRL - knowing the other will be there for you consistently over months/years and will come through for you unconditionally. Even if the daily communication ebbs and flows a bit through months/years.
