"I have discovered that love doesn't guarantee the success of a relationship. Love cannot help you stick to one person all year round, and on the other hand, cheating isn't always a product of not loving your partner. In fact, loving someone doesn't guarantee not falling in love with someone else. Relationships work out mostly because of our brain not our heart. It works out because of our emotional maturity, empathetic intelligence and self discipline because time will come when you"ll see more beautiful, handsome, romantic,intelligent, sexy, rich, curvy and God-fearing people than the one you're in a relationship with. In those times, love will not help you; SELF CONTROL will, EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE will come to your rescue and COMMITMENT will keep you going. With those characteristics, no matter how you feel for someone else, the person you are committed to will rank first in your life. You think happily married people don't see better people than ones they married You think they don't feel funny sometimes You think they don't have feelings They do! But understanding that commitment is greater than feelings is the great arsenal that destroys that impulse. You can fall in love with anyone, but building a relationship takes absolutely more than what attracted you to them and takes more than love. We are too fond of loving when it's convenient and sweet. We are too fond of loving when love is there but that can only last for just the 3-6months of the relationship. After then, you"ll realize that the feelings have dropped, it's now your responsibility to make it work not love's responsibility. Relationships cannot be ready made. You have to build it and it's never always about love, it requires commitment and intelligence. On the long run in marriages, it's not the love that keeps them together forever, it's determination and commitment. Everyone falls in love ; it takes little or no effort to do that. But staying in love? Building a relationship? Only the strong and committed ones do that. That's why we must find that one person and commit to that one.

in some most cases, Money

I agree with you op,
If love is all that is needed to make a relationship work then, there will be no divorce. Most divorced couples still love each other but they just can't be together... Love is never enough to keep a relationship

I think it's high time we replace COMPATIBILITY with LOVE in relationship.

Love is enough to carry a relationship.
these days,we experience attraction and call it love.
only those who had love will understand.
#u only love once.
