In relationships, love changes its definition in different forms like responsibility, care, affection etc. and there are ample examples that love doesn’t last forever but there’s one thing more crucial than love, without which it becomes so hard to live with someone and that is ‘Respect’.

We often confuse bad behavior as a sign of love, attachment, and closeness but the truth is love and respect are two individual entities, one can call them complementary as where there’s respect there’s love and where there’s love there is respect, so one has to work on both instead of making their bad behavior as an excuse of their love.

When we talk about respect it doesn’t restrict to your partner only, his family, friends, colleagues everyone comes under the circle. How you treat others makes a great impact on your partner, it represents your values, your morals, your upbringing and you.  

There are many signs that show how much your loved one respects you:

1. He/she listen to you carefully because to him/her your words matter.
2. He/she respect your personal space and understand the importance of it.
3. Ask for your advice and give importance to it.
4. No matter how you look, how you dress, how educated you are- he/she is proud of you.
5. Dare to take a stand for you and never lose hopes on you.

Respecting each other is a sign of successful relationship because relationships are all about respect.
