A relationship without love is like having a body without a brain or having a heart without its coronary arteries or exercising your deltoid muscle without its axillary nerve (please let me move what I know), it’s a total waste of time. I know sometimes, in the beginning, he seems like the perfect gentleman and she looks like the ideal lady, the one you want but it fades away soon and the only reason it does is that love wasn’t maintained.
Love provides building blocks, a strong foundation for a successful and long-lasting relationship and the following are 5 sure ways to maintain it:
- TRUST: is one of the most important factors in a relationship. If you don’t trust the person you are with, then it’s probably not a healthy relationship and you most likely feel insecure about it. Trust is a gradual process, it grows over time. It can be built.
- COMMUNICATION: is needed to show feelings, needs and affections.it is also needed to solve conflicts and for intimacy. Without it, nothing in the relationship can be clear.
- SAFETY: is red, not black and blue. You have to feel safe with your partner. If you don’t feel safe, then you are in the wrong relationship. Love is needed but being beaten and abused isn’t worth it, at all.
- RESPECT: No amount of love is worth giving up who you are and the respect you deserve. Love is not a justification for disrespect. We are all proud by nature. Nobody likes being insulted. Lovers must respect each other for a healthy relationship
- HAPPINESS: Being happy is also very important in a relationship. We all know you can’t be happy all the time but the unhappy times shouldn’t outweigh the happy ones. You should smile not cry whenever you remember who you love. If you are not happy in a relationship, end it and just move on.
