        Fairy tales teach children about romantic love. The princess is in danger, the prince comes to the rescue, and they live ever after. But as you grow up, you realize that love is not as simple as saving the person dear to you from her stepmother, an apple, or a curse. Love involves a lot of trial and error, meeting halfway, and swallowing one’s pride. Love is complicated.  


        It all starts when two people share mutual feelings of love and enter a relationship. This is when it is sweetest when it is new. As the years' pass, a relationship may get shaken by many problems and ends. But this won’t happen when both of the partners are committed to making the relationship work. It always takes two to tango, right?  


     
     


    So, here are the Most Important Things that must be present in a relationship: 


     
     1. Self-love 


        Self-love means having a high regard for your well-being, being happy, and taking care of your own needs and not sacrificing your well-being to please others. Self-love is one of the most important things in a relationship. Without loving yourself first, how can you share your love with another person?  


        Self-love entails being kind and forgiving to yourself. Contrary to the usual, you should not give up everything for your partner. Save some for yourself. Also, let go of the excess baggage. Because a relationship lasts when both parties love themselves first.  


     


     2. Respect


          Without Respect, cheating and other ugly things come in. Even in a team sport, if players do not respect everything about the sport, they play dirty to win. The same thing applies to a Relationship, if you do not respect your partner, you have cheating tendencies. But if you respect a person, acceptance always follows.  


        Immature relationships also affect respect in a relationship. For example, Immature relationships say, “Be this. Do that.” while Mature relationships say, “Who do you want to be? What do you want to do?” You understand that this person is an individual, who has their own preferences on music, fashion, politics, sex, or religion. Respecting and then accepting is loving. 


     


    3. Trust


        Any relationship built on Lust instead of Trust will only be shattered easily. When you and the partner trust each other things will be much easier. No unnecessary arguments, over-thinking sessions, or unreasonable suspicions. Isn’t that wonderful?  


         Building trust in a healthy relationship happens gradually. How do you know if you should trust someone? This can be a hard question to answer, especially at the beginning of a relationship, but your own instincts about another person and the way they behave over time are two important things to consider when making that decision. Yes Of course, in a healthy relationship it’s important for both partners to trust and be trusted, to open up, and be vulnerable with each other. Trust can’t be built if only one partner is willing to do this and the other isn’t. Building trust requires mutual commitment.  


         Trust in a relationship also shows that partners know each other very well. For instance, you can live miles away from each other and trust that honesty and love will prevail because of the confidence you have in your partner. 


     


    5. Openness


        Be open in terms of communication and thinking. Always talk things over in person, never just through social media. When you talk, communicate. Do not just hear your partner out, really listen. During communication, open up everything in your head. Undiscussed matters sometimes lead the breakup.  


     


    6. Passion


        Love is of course an important thing in a relationship. But simply loving is not enough. You have to love passionately. When you do this, you won’t get tired of constantly going through challenges and making sacrifices together – because you are passionate about the love you have for your partner.  


     


    Here are some tips to Rekindle the Passion in your Relationship 


     1. Hold hands more often:


        According to research, holding hands, hugging, and touching can release oxytocin causing a calming sensation. Studies show it’s also released during sexual orgasm. Additionally, physical affection reduces stress hormones – lowering daily levels of the stress hormone cortisol.  


     
    2. Carve out time to spend with your partner:


        Try a variety of activities that bring you both pleasure. Have fun courting and practice flirting as a way to ignite sexual desire and intimacy.  


     


    3. Maintain a sense of curiosity about sexual intimacy:


        Experiment with new ways to bring pleasure to each other. Look at sex as an opportunity to get to know your partner better over time.  


     
     


    There are a lot of important things, but here are five of the most important. To summarise it all: 




    • Always love yourself and know that you are enough. 




     




    • Never lose your individuality even though you are with someone you call your better half. 




     




    • Trust is as fragile as it sounds, so give it only to those who deserve it. 




     




    • Be open and smart at the same time, and finally Love passionately.
