We have to realize that LOVE is not enough to make a relationship work... We need TRUST, RESPECT, TIME, EFFORT and TOTAL COMMITMENT. If a person doesn't show respect, doesn't earn your trust and can't keep a promise; then no matter how many times thay say "I love you" those word will be empty... Take time to listen to what they DON'T SAY. Take time to look at ehat they DON'T SHOW. Coz there are secrets hidden beneath their words. So don't let passion but WISDOM decide for YOU! Love wisely, coz it's never easy to LOVE and get HURT... ns

You need to have a mutual friendship with each other. Neither one being more important than the other. Trust and respect for each other are biggies. Learning to accept the differences as well as the similarities. And remember what it was that drew you to your spouse in the first place, and don't try to change the other.

You already know all it takes to make a relationship work and be productive and always life-giving. I think that most of us want trust, respect, time, effort and total commitment, its just finding it thats the problem and when we think we have found it, there are a few elements missing. Like he may possess the trust, respect and commitment but just doesn't have the time, and then eventually the relationship fails. Although we may all know what it takes for a relationship to strive, its getting that relationship that has all the components to survive.
