Remember that you need to take care of a few other aspects as well, more than love, to make a relationship work. Though love can start many great romances, it won't make a relationship last forever. Read on to know more about these interesting and important things that are meaningful in a relationship and make sure to imbibe them in your relationships as well. Trust Trust is the most essential component of a successful relationship; and if it is absent in your relationship, you can end up feeling constantly worried and hurt. Make sure you trust your partner and don't do a thing to break that trust. Respect True love demands respect, which is why love can never be a justification for the disrespect. So, make sure you respect your partner and your partner respects you in return. Safety One needs to feel safe and secure when they are with their partner. If your partner feels unsafe with you, find out a reason for it and make sure you correct it before the relationship goes kaput. Your Individuality Do not lose your own identity when you are in a relationship. Keep pursuing your own interests and goals you had in life before getting into a relationship. And watch how this characteristic will make your partner fall even more in love with you. Independence In a relationship you and your partner need to feel secure and confident about each other and let each other live your own lives. Remember, where there's true love, there also has to be some space. Intimacy Last but not the least, you can't have a successful relationship if you've been having little or no intimacy at all. It is needed to spice up your relationship. A relation that lacks this factor is not called a relationship at all. 40 | BOOM
