Admiration, exchange, care, companionship and respect, these are some of the foundations to maintain a healthy and balanced relationship. Of course, not everything will always be perfect, things might not work out as planned, not every day is a good day, but love builds character, overcomes difficulties and certainly transforms us.
It is very nice to see couples conducting their relationships this way, with maturity, especially celebrating their respective lives and respecting their own individualities. However, you can't leave everything for love to handle, as affinity is another important component of keeping the flame alive. The more affinity there is, the greater the chances of one wanting to be closer to their soulmate, having exchanges, the most varied dialogues involving subjects related to hobbies or professional issues, even the simplest things. It is the affinities that will determine the desire to be together and how far one couple can to go.
