Is It All Love That A Relationship Needs?

Love is a beautiful emotion indeed, but will that be enough for your relationship to survive?

When it comes to relationships, I feel the word ‘love’ is a little over-hyped. Yes, it indeed creates a solid premise in a relationship indeed and helps it nurture throughout. But do you think that’s enough for making a relationship work?

We obsess over hanging out together, going out on dates, doing romantic stuff, and receiving gifts as little as flowers and chocolates, especially in the initial stage of a relationship. Now, I am not saying that it all ends up later on. It does continue but I feel there is entirely a different vibe in the firsts of a relationship. The first date! The first kiss! The first gift! The first call! And the list goes on and on.

It’s good to love and be loved, but it’s not just ‘love’ that keeps your relationship alive. When you are in love with someone, everything will seem ‘sugar-coated’. You will ignore your partner’s flaws murmuring ‘So what, at least he loves me’.

I have seen people who have been madly in love, decide to tie the knot, and later down the line, realize that it’s not working at all. They have differences, and neither of them is willing to negotiate or adjust. For saving yourself from being sorry later, and thinking like ‘Ah, I wish if I could have reconsidered my decision’, it’s better to put your thinking cap on and consider the following things that make as much sense as love.

Communication

“Communication is the fuel that keeps the fire of your relationship burning, without it, your relationship goes cold.” — William Paisley

How does it feel to have a cake without sugar? Tasteless, right? The same goes for communication in a relationship. Communication lets you share your thoughts, emotions, and perspectives about anything with your partner and ultimately, strengthens your relationship.

Are you planning to create boundaries? Are you thinking of taking it to the next level? Is there something that you would like to fix? Do you want to bring some excitement to your sex life? Just speak it up gently and find solutions to anything that’s taking a toll on your love life.

Trust

“A relationship without trust is like a car without gas..you can stay in it all you want, but it won’t go anywhere…”― Michael J Herbert

According to a study, 4/5th of the teenagers in the U.S. experienced dating, and out of which, 42% of individuals, between the age groups of 15–19, stated that they had sex with their partners. While getting intimate with your partner helps in emotional and physical development, but it can also have consequences on your physical and emotional well-being. Some of them include getting pregnant when not prepared, getting prone to STIs (Sexually Transmitted Infections), and becoming a victim of physical or mental abuse.

If you love your partner but are not comfortable trusting them in physical, emotional, and financial matters, then do you think it’s even worth it? Trust acts as a fuel to the relationship, and in its absence, you

Trusting your partner is not all about ‘Yes, he’ll be loyal towards me and won’t cheat me ever!’. It’s beyond that! When you trust your partner, you are fine with dropping your guard and sharing confidential information or even your deepest secrets with him. Besides, you can share intimate moments with him and still believe that he won’t do any harm or be irresponsible.

Emotional security

“Your hug should be more than an embrace of affection. It represents her safety and security. It should make her feel truly loved.”― Tony Curl

Yes, sometimes, small gestures like a peck on the cheek or a warm hug are all we need to feel safe. We all crave a sense of emotional security in our lives. And when we receive it from our partner, we end up feeling more protected and secured.

Does your partner respect your emotional needs? Do you feel a sense of security when you are around him? It doesn’t take much time for a relationship to be converted from ‘healthy’ to ‘toxic’ if a person’s emotional needs are not being met. And when it does, it might be too late for you to get out of it. So, why not be a bit practical today and assess your relationship based on this factor?

Respect

If your partner doesn’t treat you with respect, then it’s the time to call it off. It might sound enticing and convenient to stay with him because he ‘loves’ you, and the idea of parting ways might scare you off. But are you fine with dragging this miserable relationship throughout and lower your self-esteem or self-respect? No, right?

I agree that parting ways might give you goosebumps, but you will thank yourself for this decision later. Respect comes first in any relationship and the absence of it will only make it suffocating in the coming years. So, just be bold and do it for yourself, for your happiness!!

Help each other grow

A relationship is like a partnership where you listen to each other’s ambitions and aspirations and support them as much as you can. Personally, I won’t prefer to be with a person who is cocky and is insensitive to my desires and needs.

When you feel free to share your life goals or anything similar with your partner, you know he’s the right guy. And when he helps you achieve that, it only makes your relationship stronger and valuable.

Remember your essence

When you are in love, you might place your partner’s interests above yours. Your whole world revolves around them. You cannot think of anything but them. But is it healthy for your well-being?

We are living in an era where taking care of yourself, especially your mental well-being has become inevitable. And if you are someone who finds it selfish to take care of yourself first, then don’t dare to be sorry. Rather, remind them that all good things start with you. Taking some time off from your partner and doing something that makes you happy will help you recharge your soul and sustain that excitement in your relationship.

Having a healthy discussion about this with your partner and reminding them to be who they are, or do what they love will only help your relationship blossom. This way, you’ll also save it from being toxic.

“It is so important to take time for yourself and find clarity. The most important relationship is the one you have with yourself.” — Diane Von Furstenberg

Play it equal

Just imagine being with someone who makes it a norm to support you in everything. From handling daily chores equally to managing challenging life situations, you name it and he’s there to share it all with you.

Life gets easier when both of you are contributing their efforts to make the relationship work. When you are in a relationship, ask yourself these questions:

Are we having common interests?
Are we there for each other during tough times?
Are we both sharing responsibilities equally?
Are we consistent in meeting each others’ expectations?

Being in love is one of the best feelings in the world, but if the above-mentioned factors are missing between you two, then you might face troubles later. Embracing love is good but getting blindfolded in love will only make you feel stuck in the relation.

In order to unlock the doors of happiness and enjoy being with each other, you both should be willing to work on these pillars. This will not only make you the power couple but will also help you understand each other better.
