•Be together for the proper purposes.

•The foundation of what makes a relationship "work" is a sincere, mutual admiration on a deep level. Without that respect for one another, everything else will fall apart.

•It's important to note that love is neutral in and of itself.Depending on the reasons and ways you love someone else and are loved by someone else, it can either be beneficial or detrimental.Love is never enough to keep a relationship going on its own.

•Set Reasonable Goals for Your Love Life and Relationships.

•There will be times when you aren't smitten with someone or feeling particularly romantic.You might even awaken one morning and reflect, "Ugh, you're still here.That is typical! Furthermore, persevering is absolutely worthwhile because even that will change.You'll feel an overwhelming wave of love when you look at that person in a day, a week, or maybe even longer. You'll love them so much that you'll fear your heart won't be able to withstand it and will break.Because an alive love is continually changing.It grows, shrinks, mellows, and deepens.It shouldn't be and won't be the same as it was, was, or will be in the past.

•True love, which is intense love that endures despite changes in mood or fancy, is a decision.It's a commitment that never wavers, no matter what the situation.It's a commitment to a person you know won't always make you happy—and shouldn't!—and who will occasionally need to rely on you, just as you will need to rely on them.That kind of love is far more difficult.mainly because it doesn't feel great a lot of the time.It lacks glamour.There are several early-morning doctor's appointments.It involves cleaning up bodily fluids, something you would rather not do.Even when you don't want to, it requires dealing with the concerns, insecurities, and ideas of another individual.But this kind of love is also a lot more fulfilling and significant.At the end of the day, it produces genuine happiness rather than just a string of highs.

•Respect Rather than Communication is the Most Crucial Component in a Partnership.

People who had recently gone through divorces or who had just been with their spouses for 10 to 15 years almost always emphasised the importance of communication in maintaining a healthy relationship.Communicate often.Speak honestly.Even if it offends you, talk about everything.And that does have some merit.However, we found that respect was the topic that people in marriages that had been continuing for 20, 30, or even 40 years discussed the most.These folks, in my opinion, have learnt by sheer experience that communication will always fail at some point, regardless of how open, honest, and rigorous it is.In the end, conflicts are inevitable and damaged sentiments will always occur.

And the only thing that can save you and your partner, soften the blow of human fallibility for you both, is an unwavering respect for one another, the fact that you hold each other in high regard, believe in one another—often more than you each believe in yourself—and have faith that your partner is doing the best they can with what they have.Without that foundation of respect, you will distrust one another's motives.You'll influence their independence and pass judgement on their decisions.You'll feel the urge to keep things from one another out of concern for judgement.And this is when the structure starts to crumble.

There will be a Part 2.
