1. Trust
Controlling the person we love doesn't bring us closer to him. On the contrary. It's necessary to trust that we are your choice, to trust that we are important, to trust within the love that you just give us (and that we give back). Trust, in short, the love that binds us to that person. This suggests not letting ourselves be overcome by concerns that, when unfounded and illogical, gradually erode love.
2. Friendship
You have certainly heard that the best love stories were born out of friendships. True or not, the actual fact is that the friendship and affection that we feel for our partner is the basis of all the relationship we've together with her.
3. Commitment
The success of a relationship depends directly on what quantity the two parties are invested in it. Your relationship must be your priority, invest in it and invest your time, energy, effort. That way, your wife will know that it's important in your life.
4. Communication
Talking is important. Listening is necessary. The happiest relationships are those during which the 2 parties forgot fears and modesty and speak openly about what worries them and what motivates them. The passive-aggressive attitude of expecting the opposite person to understand what we would like (because it's their obligation to know) is halfway to disagreements and frustrations.
5. Respect
Because there's no love without respect. Yes, I do. Passion, maybe. But love? Loving implies respecting the opposite person. Know it and respect it for what it's. Its truth isn't absolute. Neither does the way you see the planet. It's necessary to respect the differences the maximum amount (or more) because it respects the similarities.
