What is the most important thing in a relationship?
id: 10043822

Often people in love, when they get married, think that they will always keep their feelings sharp, and when the intensity of emotions comes to naught, they think that the family is falling apart. Love is a strange thing. When our head is spinning, we are ready to forgive our partner any mistakes and turn a blind eye to the faults. But it will not last forever, at most - a few years. And then the puppy delight with which we look into the eyes of a loved one is gone. And once the thrill of love passes, you don't have to think that love is gone and you're on the verge of divorce. You just have to learn to love the person for who they are, respect them and enjoy having them around.

Real love is a choice: to be with the person despite the circumstances, despite the fact that they don't always make you happy. It is difficult, but it is also valuable.
People who have been married for 10 to 15 years, most often say that the most important thing for a strong relationship is to communicate with each other and talk frankly about everything that concerns them. However, those who have 20, 30, 40 years of life together say that the most important thing is respect for each other.
The fact is that conflicts in couples are inevitable, and we hurt each other's feelings, no matter how much we want to avoid it. And the only thing that will help you stay together is mutual respect, a sense that you value each other above all else, trust each other, and trust that your partner will do what's best for you both. Just don't forget that you need to respect yourself as well. Both you and your other half.
In any marriage you have to sacrifice something for the other person. But the problem is that if a relationship is maintained only because someone gives up his interests for the sake of the other, it will sooner or later end in rupture. A relationship based on sacrifice is doomed.

Only healthy, happy relationships can be maintained by healthy, happy individuals. The key word is "personalities." This means that people should have their own ideas about themselves, their own interests, their own hobbies to which they devote their time.
Long stable relationships are a work in progress. Not that we don't know this, but when you're in love and you think you're going to spend your whole life with this person, somehow you can't believe that sooner or later the sharpness of your feelings will go away and you'll find yourself alone with the real person: with your interests and hobbies.
