But contrary to popular belief, love is not all you need. Relationships take a lot more than love to keep them going and love alone won’t keep a couple together. Successful relationships take a lot of work to keep both people happy and healthy.
Is love necessary for survival?
Naturally rewarding or pleasurable activities are necessary for survival and appetitive motivation, usually governing beneficial biological behaviors like eating, sex, and reproduction.
Is love important in our life?
But why is love so important? Scientific studies have shown that being in love causes our body to release feel-good hormones and neuro-chemicals that trigger specific, positive reactions. We love our children, relatives and friends, and want to be with them, and that makes our lives more meaningful.
Is being in love enough to save your relationship?
Being in love is not enough to help a relationship survive, and neither is being happy. Even if happiness is your primary goal, the happiness you’re feeling in your relationship could be temporary. “Falling in love releases euphoric hormones in your body such as dopamine and oxytocin,” sex educator Stef Woods, J.D. tells Bustle.
Can you sustain a relationship if you don’t love each other?
Being able to sustain all three at the same time is key to keeping the dynamic healthy between you and your partner. “You can never hope to sustain a relationship no matter how much you love the other person if both of you aren’t willing to do the work on yourselves,” Dr. Klapow adds.
Why do I have doubts about a relationship I’m happy in?
Some people may not be satisfied with happiness alone if they’re not also learning and growing, for example. So, having doubts about a relationship you’re happy in is normal, and it doesn’t mean you’re being too picky. Being in love is not enough to help a relationship survive, and neither is being happy.
Can you love someone without compromise?
“Love without compatibility, love without compromise, love without self-examination and self-improvement will never sustain a healthy relationship,” says Dr. Klapow. Although this might sound like a tough pill to swallow, the truth is that even the strongest love needs to be nurtured.
