 If you read the article above, you already know that the secret to their lasting love is their investment of loving kindness and empathy in each other. The interesting thing about that kind of giving is that the giver benefits just as much as the receiver. When you take the time to do loving acts, you fill yourself with the energy of love. As you are filled with the energy of love, you see yourself as a loving person. As your image of yourself becomes more loving, you naturally choose more loving behavior, and you see the world as a more loving place. You feel better about yourself, your relationships, and the world around you.
Not all partners will respond to this. But a smart relationship brings out the best in both partners.

From our e-Course, The 8 Ingredients of a Smart Relationship. "In order for trust to exist in a relationship, there must be honesty and respect from both individuals, particularly when handling differences." (Smart Ingredient #6, Good Communication)

 A relationship will not make you happy. Another person will not fill the emptiness inside. When you look to another to "complete you", you set yourself up for disappointment. First, be comfortable in your own skin. Be clear about who you are, what you need, what you like and dislike, what your dreams and goals are. Be comfortable being you before looking for a life partner.
This is not the same as selfishness. Selfishness is the attitude that "I don't care what you need. I'm going to get what I need."
Loving yourself is the attitude that "I'm happy being me, even though I'm not perfect. Let's figure out how to make a happy "we", even though you're not perfect either."
Lasting love comes from a place of strength.
