Love Isn't Always Enough: 5 Important Things A Successful Relationship Should Have

In every fairytale, true love usually wins out. Most of us are hopeless romantics, and we like to believe that love has the power to conquer everything. Perhaps, that’s why the divorce rates are continually rising: we’re just fooling ourselves.


Love is a big deal, but on its own, it isn't enough to keep up the momentum in relationships. Love, just like a flower, can’t thrive on its own. It needs to be nurtured if it is to continue to blossom. If you neglect it, it's going to wither and die.


Here are five other important things you need in a relationship, besides love:


1) Trust


Two people sharing a life together is an incredible leap of faith. There's no partnership more intimate than a romantic relationship in which someone shares their entire life with you. Lovers need to be trustworthy—honest, reliable, and sincere to their word. They also need to be trusting—to have faith that their partner will never deliberately hurt, deceive, or cheat. Without trust, you'll never have a happy relationship, as you'll fill your mind with only doubt and suspicion.


2) Respect


Respect shows the value you put on your partner. How valuable are you to them? What do they think you are worth? Talk is cheap; the right, most accurate measure of how your lover values you is how they treat you (and the most precise test of how you value your lover is by how you treat them in return). Continually disrespecting your partner creates a toxic environment, sure to kill love.


3) Common values


Love has transcended differences in age, class, education, culture, religion— there are even cat people and dog people who have discovered a way to make it work! Happy couples don’t need to agree on everything, but they do need to have shared values. That doesn't mean sharing every hobby or opinion. Still, partners do have to come to agreements on several critical life issues— how they want to live, how they should handle finances, or whether they plan to have children. Couples need to agree on what they call non-negotiable principles. They also need to decide on priorities, what is best for a family, and where lines should get drawn.


4) Common goals


True love is not about just looking at each other but about looking out together in the same direction. If two people aren't working towards common goals and they don't share plans about the direction they want their lives to take, then the relationship is going to fail. After a while, compromises get harder until you both realize you have reached a stalemate.


5) Communication


Communication is one of the most important things in relationships. Partners need to talk to each other about every issue that's on their mind, but they should also listen to what the other person has to say. That means that to have communication in your relationship, you and your partner need to exercise to become able to express yourselves but also to become better listeners.

  1. After being in relationship with Wilson for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don’t believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr Zuma zuk and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com or call him +2348105150446
    you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything. CONTACT HIM NOW FOR SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR PROBLEMS’
