1. Exclusivity, uniqueness of feelings towards a partner, striking dissimilarity from all other relationships.
2. Willingness to sacrifice something valuable for the sake of a person and his happiness. Moreover, nothing is needed from this person in return.
3. The desire to give yourself and do something nice for your partner selflessly, without expecting anything in return.
4. Allow your partner to be himself, as he is, with all his features.
5. Perceive these features not as shortcomings and defects, but as components of his holistic image, the personality that you liked initially.
6. Allow (or better yet, facilitate) a person to follow his own interests and realize his personal desires. This is the only way he can be happy with you.
7. Change yourself and your habits, adapt to your partner for the sake of general comfort and creating favorable living conditions together (not necessarily in a common living space). Without an obsessive desire to change (demand, blame) your partner, but rather, understand and change yourself.
9. Be kind to him (be able to forgive), caring and gentle.
10. Understand (want to understand) his true motives and reasons for his actions, their importance for him.

Love is an advanced skill, the prerogative of a mature, whole person, not a “half”. This is a bridge between yourself and another person, and then with the whole world. This is a feeling that unites people, a feeling of completeness and saturation of the world. And, of course, love is not weakness, not manipulation, and not all sorts of destructive suffering and experiences (because of someone close to you). Love is creative and pleasant. Love fills with the energy of desires and inspires achievements. Love is bright and active, it helps to live life totally, richly and brightly. It is not without reason that the ancient sages argued that love is the basic energy and meaning of the existence of the Universe.
