13. Love Requires Active Maintenance
Love is not a one-and-done deal– it requires regular attention. Setting aside time to reconnect by sharing thoughts and dreams and working through rough patches are part of what keeps love alive. Neglecting this maintenance can make even the strongest relationship feel fragile.

Instead, aim to give freely, knowing that healthy relationships have a natural ebb and flow. When you stop counting and start caring, things feel more supportive and less transactional, allowing you both to focus on the joy of being together, not who’s “winning.”
