IS LOVE ENOUGH?

In relationships, both dating and marriage, we go through different phases and in some of these phases, we realize that love is not enough to keep the relationship going... We need communication, commitment, honesty, understanding, finances, and other factors for a relationship to really work.

I have heard people say “if you really loved him, you would have stayed”. The truth is that there is love and there is stupidity and the line between them is very thin... That you love someone doesn't necessarily mean you must be with the person even when it is obvious the person does not love you back . You will just be putting yourself under unnecessary emotional pressure. When you love someone who doesn't feel the same way about you, it is extremely frustrating...
The only time a relationship will work irrespective of all the ups and downs is when there is trust, honesty, respect, communication, commitment, understanding, forgiveness and love (i mean the proper definition of love, check 1 Corinthians 13 : 4-8).
