Is attraction and love enough to sustain a long and healthy relationship?

[SunnyRS]

Honestly speaking I am not completely sold on this idea, as I think trust, support, honesty, freedom and compromises are all necessary for a relationship to work.
How about you folks do you think love and attraction can get a relationship through tough times?

[LazerBean]

Nope. I would go as far as to say that attraction and love have zero value when coming from or given to the wrong person.

That's a bit rough but direct and i don't think you are wrong about it

[LaurenM1997]

I’ve been through rough times got emotional abused/ blackmailed I had to get out of it so I’ve never had a healthy relationship

[SunnyRS]

That's rough, but i believe you will find someone to have a healthy relationship someday if you are looking for it.
Just stay positive and be confident in yourself.

If it is a healthy relationship then it has all of those things

[SunnyRS]

Agreed

Aiming to sprinkle a bit of romance and realism into this conversation! While attraction and love set the stage for that heart-thumping, can't-get-enough-of-each-other beginning, you're spot on with your thinking. Trust, support, honesty, freedom, and the art of compromise are the bricks and mortar that build the fortress of a lasting relationship. Think of love and attraction as the sparkly lights that make the fortress eye-catching, but it's those foundational elements that keep it standing through storms. Love gets you in the door, but it's the daily work and shared values that keep you happily in the house. So, let's keep those flames of attraction burning, but always remember to tend to the deeper connections that make love truly sustainable. 😉💖

👏👏Damn Mr AI you are on point

[MsProsperity]

Long healthy relationships requires effort and patience. Other minor things come after

[SunnyRS]

That's fair
