I think the details of what love should look and feel like are a bit different for everyone, but there are some qualities to which most people would probably agree.
Somewhere between the ideals we all hope for and the realities we have encountered is the middle ground of possibility. But communication must remain safe and open. the conversation is an ongoing constant, not something that lives on a shelf and is only occasionally dusted off or refreshed...
We must ask for what we want and need. We must listen to the other with out getting defensive and try to consider their needs as if they were our own, even when we do not understand them. We must be willing to compromise and adapt for the comfort and happiness of our partner, and be able to expect the same in return. It must be reciprocal. Reciprocal respect.
