Strong and long-term relationships are built not only on love for your partner. Respect is essential. When choosing a partner for a long-term relationship, you should understand this clearly for yourself.
Concepts like love and respect are often confused. Love is an indescribable feeling of one person for another, it is dependence and inspiration. Love is an independent emotion that cannot be controlled, and respect is an acquired, conscious feeling that comes first in relationships between the sexes.
Respect is the recognition of a certain quality of a person (or personality in general), admiration for him. Respecting a loved one and loved one, the other shows him his gratitude. They say that these concepts are closely related to each other. There is no love without respect. But there are also inexplicable cases: when there seems to be love, but there is no respect as such.
Paradoxical but true
Respect is a rather subjective concept. For example, if Masha respects Christina, this does not mean that Maria will respect Kirill. This is what happens in the relationship between a man and a woman. If there is no strong foundation - respect, then there will probably not be a strong and long-term relationship. Therefore, before choosing a life partner for yourself, you must very carefully study his system of values. To understand whether this man is worthy of recognition and respect.
In order for a man to respect a woman, she, first of all, must experience such feelings for herself. Men are impressed by worthy women whom they choose for themselves to live together.
Respect is not only the presence of an identical opinion of a couple, it is also deeds, words. The loss of this feeling does not happen immediately. Negative emotions accumulate and then simply spill out. To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to talk and discuss the problems that have arisen. After all, the relationship between a man and a woman is a very complex labor process that requires efforts on both sides. By respecting yourself and your soul mate, you are laying the first brick of a long and happy family life.
