Is love enough to sustain a relationship?
Who does not want a happy and beautiful married life. Most people love the idea of being happy. At least that is what is said in movies, plays or stories. But the reality is very difficult. To sustain a relationship, there must be more than just love.
A report by Bold Sky reveals that more than just love is important in sustaining a relationship. For example-
Mutual respect: You may disagree with your partner's views on many issues. But it is important to value his opinion, understand his problem and listen to what he has to say. This allows the partner to rely on you and express his emotions whenever necessary.
Building honesty and trust: Trust is important in any relationship. And honesty is the foundation of relationships. If you want to improve your relationship, show it in words and actions. That doesn't mean there won't be criticism in a relationship, sharing your opinions honestly in any situation will definitely build a solid foundation between the two.
Interpersonal Communication: Express what you feel and what your wants and needs are to your partner. Also know your partner's needs. The communication between the two will be fine.
Talking about the past: You can share your past happy experiences, various life events, how you were - with your partner. This will help you understand each other better.
Expression of affection: Physical relationship with partner is not the last thing. Express your affection to your partner in different ways (by touch, verbally) every day. Holding hands, hugs, small caresses also strengthen the relationship.
Personal space: Another important aspect of a healthy relationship is personal space. Keep your personal space. Pursue your hobbies, have your own friends, be self-reliant. Avoid complete dependence on your partner.
