True love is not one person clinging to another; it can only be fostered between two strong people secured in their individuality. A shallow person will have only shallow relationships. Rather than becoming so love-struck it seems only the 2 of you exist, it is much healthier to continue making efforts to improve and develop yourself while learning from those aspects of your partner that you respect & admire.
The renowned author, Antonie de Saint-Exupery wrote, "Love is not 2 people gazing at each other, but 2 people looking ahead together in the same direction." Relationships last longer when both partners share similar values & beliefs.
True love is not about doing whatever the other person wants or pretending you are something you are not. Someone who genuinely loves you will not insist that you do anything against your will or embroil you in some unwholesome activity. Without respect, no relationship will last very long nor can 2 people bring out the best in each other.
Men should be extremely courteous and caring towards women, respecting them and doing utmost to support them. The responsibility of men is to become strong enough, compassionate enough and adult enough to care about the lifelong happiness of their partner. For men who strive to cultivate this quality, it is also an expression of true love.
No matter how much you may appear to be enjoying yourself now or how serious you think you are about your relationship, if you allow your love life to consume your time and energy at the expense of your growth, then you are just playing a game. And if you are always playing games, then your life will be just that, a game.
