communication, intimacy, a sense of humor, sharing household tasks, some getaway time without business or children, daily exchanges(a meal, shared activity, a hug, a call, a touch, a note), sharing common goals and interests. giving each other space to grow without feeling insecure, giving each other a sense of belonging and assurances of commitment.
If these qualities are missing, the relationship will erode as resentment, withdrawal, abuse, neglect,dishonesty and pain replace the passion. As long as we have memories, yesterday remains. As long as we have hope, tomorrow awaits. As long as we have friendship, today is beautiful."
Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, and the romance in a relationship and find out that you still care for that person. Love is being able to walk arm in arm....even when you don't see eye to eye!
Never say goodbye when you still want to try. Never give up when you still feel you can take it. Never say you no longer love a person when you can't let go. If you love someone, tell him/her, for hearts are often broken by words left unspoken!
