For a healthy relationship, all you need is not just love but also trust, understanding, forgiveness, commitment, and respect. This holds in all relationships, be it parenting, love, friendship, marriage, or employee relations.
Understanding needs a kind and sensitive heart, where you try and understand things from another’s point of view with patience. Both love and understanding are essential ingredients for a lasting friendship, family relationship, or husband-wife.
Many relationships have broken up not because of the absence of love but because they don’t understand each other. All bonds can flourish healthily, with mutual understanding being the key ingredient, even more than love.
