#ItsRequired for a Relationship - Last week you saw Avery ask Mary Jane if her husband Andre performs oral sex on her, and Mary Jane's simple response was: "It's required." With that, this week we're going to let you know what's required for many relationships to get off the ground and fly high.  1. Chivalry Now, nobody is saying that going Dutch is not an option, but on the first date or two be sure to show your manners, gents. That includes opening doors, pulling out your dates seat and, yes, picking up the check. If she offers, make sure she tucks her wallet away because she's taking mental notes of everything you do once you pick her up. (Photo: Skip ODonnell/GettyImages)

2. Education - Yes, having an education is important because often times it'll add to your overall intelligence and allow you to speak about many diverse topics while socializing. Nobody is asking for you to have your M.D., J.D. or Ph.D, but having a degree in something that you love is a bonus. (Photo: Jason Reed/Reuters)

3. Style - You don't have to rock Armani or Gucci. You don't even have to be a fashion expert. But you should have a distinct style that matches your personality. Keep it clean, keep it neat and know how to dress for any occassion.  (Photo: Vittorio Zunino Celotto/Getty Images)

4. Be Healthy - Being healthy doesn't mean be a gym rat or be a vegan. Being healthy means that you are aware of the choices that you're making when it comes to your diet. Work out in moderation and use your better judgment when it comes to food. It shows that you value yourself on another level and want to preserve your sexy for as long as possible. (Photo: Joseph C.

5. Intimacy - This is a no-brainer. Keep it sexy. If you don't know what your partner wants or loves, ask. Once you have the answers, put everything into action and love on! (Photo: Simon Watson/Getty Images)
