You Don’t Build Relationships With Love!
Do this instead…
Love is undeniably a crucial component of the relationship, but its significance can vary depending on individual circumstances and dynamics.
Love alone may not be sufficient to sustain a relationship, especially if there are unresolved conflicts.
Love mostly starts with attraction then affection to connection involves the release of chemicals in the brain such as dopamine which fosters bonding and feelings of happiness.
What you need to do is understand the difference between the value and potential of the person you love before taking the next step.
Value is more likely what the person shows you now such as growth, and respect. You’re grounded in the present.
Wherever they go, whoever they meet they bring the values with them no matter what.
Can they fake value? Yes, they can, however if you fail to recognize then it’s your problem, it takes time to notice and it’s another day’s conversation. Let’s focus on what we have currently.
Values:
- Respect
- Commitment
- Empathy
- Kindness
- Courage
- Mindfulness
