What is love in a relationship?

My little girl asked me last days what is love in a relationship. So i think about it...

Ah, the age-old question, "What is love in a relationship?" That's like the million-dollar question in the world of relationships, isn't it?

First off, love in a relationship isn't just about the butterflies in your stomach or the fireworks you feel when you kiss. Those are awesome, don't get me wrong, but love runs deeper. It's about the connection and bond that develops over time.

Here are a few key ingredients, in my opinion:

Understanding and Acceptance: Love is knowing your partner's flaws and quirks and embracing them.
Support: Whether it's cheering for them during their highs or holding their hand through the lows, being a supportive partner is a huge part of love.
Trust and Honesty: This one's a biggie. Trusting each other and being honest, even when it's tough, forms the backbone of a loving relationship.
Communication: Love means being able to talk about anything and everything. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Communication keeps the relationship healthy and thriving.
Respect: This is non-negotiable. Love without respect isn't really love. It's about valuing each other's opinions, space, and individuality.
Commitment: Sticking together and working through the challenges. Love is choosing each other, again and again, every day.
Affection and Intimacy: While not the only thing, physical affection and emotional intimacy definitely play a role. It's about feeling close and connected.

Remember, though, love can look different for everyone. Some people might value certain aspects more than others. And that's okay! ​

It's going the extra mile when your dead tired 😴 for them to make them happy!

Being safe and knowing they would do the same because they care!

For her it's getting mommy a drink after she is all warm and happy in bed so you don't have to get up!

It's talking and the little things together 😀

Whoa, that's a deep question for a little kid! I don't know if I have the perfect answer, but here's what I think love in a relationship is:

Love is when you really care about someone and want them to be happy. When you're in a relationship, you feel good when they feel good. You like spending time with them and making them smile.

Love is also about trusting each other. You share secrets and feelings with your special person and know they won't tell anyone else or hurt you.

It's also really important to be nice to each other. You don't yell or fight, you use kind words and do nice things like give hugs, buy each other's favorite snacks, say encouraging stuff.

Oh and it means liking the same things! You have fun doing activities together or watching the same TV shows and movies. Boring stuff is more fun with your loved one.

But I think the main thing is just making the other person feel loved every day through your words and actions. When both people in the relationship feel happy, safe and cared for, that's true love.

Does that help explain it? Let me know if you or your daughter have any other questions!

Love is beautiful Love is understanding love is respect love is kindness love is unconditional.

There's many more things but I think the best and easiest way to get that answer is to ask yourself what is love between you and your daughter. There could be no deeper love than that until she turns into a teenager and then this holy hell to play LOL

It's the warm feeling that makes you feel certain about your partner's intentions. The joy of simply spending time in silence, sharing small things from time apart. The sorrow of your partner's loss. The hope for the future. The laughs and tears - shared and understood.

Love is the force or power that binds two imperfect individual in a perfect relationship. In simpler words, if you are ready to let go of your partners mistakes or wrongdoings because you value the relationship more than your ego, that's love.

It's the same as your love for her except to added attraction, and intimacy.. Love is basically the same for everybody just with different feelings added to it..

[HouseMoat]

You ask yourself if you can live without them, and if you say yes, then it's not love

They are the fruit of your love in a relationship.
