What is the true essence of a loving relationship?

Answer 1

For me it is a combination of several things, and I would have to say that it is love, and giving without thought to reciprocity.
When you are really in love pleasing the person you love is the most wonderful feeling in the world, and it should remain so forever. So giving without expecting it in return shows the true faith in love.
Love goes hand in hand with faith, they are inseparable. They are integral of oneanother, without faith you can not trust, without trust you can not believe in love.
Blessings and love,
Sassy

Answer 2

Emotional maturity. If you don't get along well with people and have a negative attitude, you probably won't get along in a relationship and a relationship won't change either of you. Two effective independent individuals becoming interdependent is a prerequisite. An easy answer is to say understanding love, Emotional Intelligence and intuition fill the bill. Adults like that can handle it. Then flowing in all your dealings and interactions, "Let all your affairs take place with love." No negative or judgmental words. If you can't handle problems lovingly, that will sink it in the end. There's so many advances on th net and finding out about them really turns a losing life into a winning one. Check this site out and that should get you going in the right direction. A broad knowledge of what's going on these days and oh yes, spirituality. What isn't required? But they all stem from the fact that emotions run us after all the logic is said and done. Of course a role model and someone wise to turn to is a smart way to go. Why learn all that's already known on your own from scratch? If you find some good posts on the subjects you need, look up their answers to other issues. A search on Answers will find that all these questions have been asked many time. On these sites you may encounter on searching a topic, I never buy anything. They have it all in the promotional information and I feel, more just wastes you time and money. You can seem to find anything on the net that you may want to know and the most up to date information for free. It's all about being the best you can be and finding someone that is also and being in synch probably all the time. self-confidence dot co dot uk forward slash missing.html

Answer 3

Don't love equally...Don't aspire for a "50/50" kind of love. Give the most you can, and don't expect to be given the same.
Why does it matter if your "50" is returned with just "30" ? Wouldn't it be perfect as "100" if you add like "20" more of yourself?
Sometimes, it's pride or self-love that blocks our way to be more generous with our love.
If we give more without restraint, we may be surprised at how much more the other person may give us.
Love and expect nothing.

Answer 8

Love combined with respect makes for a loving relationship, where one comes together not to give or take anything, just to share our joy, our light, and of course our love. You not only make sure, your presence enhances another person's light, and not diminishes it, but you also that you become part of their empowerment journey, by constantly pushing them to discover their own light, so that they can have greater experiences of their own power and light.
That is a true gift in a loving relationship, when you begin to relate to another, as your own self, you begin to see that your empowerment is closely linked with their empowerment and growth as a human being. So you never do for them what you know they can do for themselves, you allow them to find their own light, and instead be an inspiration for them to reach where they don't need you.
