It is a good thing to be in love, to share your intimate thoughts with someone you genuinely love, who loves you in return.

But there is more to love than the emotional feelings. Being with someone you genuinely love (in the case of marriage) is more about giving than you expect. But it should never be at the cost of our most important personal needs. When we neglect our most important personal needs, we lose touch with our true self. The result is need, insecurity and unhappiness.

Don't try to maintain a relationship or marriage only, also try to maintain yourself! It is easy to mend a broken heart than to fix a broken identity.

Set rules, have a vision,love yourself, treat yourself well, have a sound relationship with God, acquire skills, read books, say your mind, share your thoughts, with him/her, that's why you're his/her partner.

Don't be the whatever he/she says kind of partner, contribute to your partner's growth as well. Be confident of yourself, self confidence is the most attractive quality a person can have. How can anyone see how awesome you are if you can’t see it yourself?

A stable personality that is getting its needs met is surely a precondition for a fulfilling relationship.
