For a healthy relationship, only love is not enough.
Because relationships work on many things like compatibility, cooperation, and trust.
Also, even if you have these qualities, your relationship can get difficult because of your goals or different priorities in life.
Is love ever enough to sustain a happy, healthy, and long-term relationship?
In an ideal world, it would be. But the reality is, you can love someone deeply and still feel like they’re just not enough for you.
If your partner does not make an effort to make you feel like your relationship is worth fighting for, at what point is it time to call it quits?
There are three elements that make up chemistry in your relationship:
Physical attraction,
Friendship,
Intellectual stimulation.
For instance, if you are physical attracted to a person ion, but find the conversation lacking or awkward, you’re always going to feel like there’s a piece missing.
Maybe they’re just too serious all the time, while you like a little more laughter. Or maybe you miss the close friendship aspect to a relationship. While you may get along just fine, you may not be totally in sync.
It’s not necessary to have the same amount of all of these elements if one part is missing, it will feel like something is missing and you will find yourself wishing you could relate to your partner, or couple you know.
These are signs that your partner might not be enough for you, even if you love them.
When you hear about a couple that just broke up, you probably assume they weren’t happy in their relationship. But that’s not necessarily the case.
Some breakups have to happen even when both people are happy — and they’re often the most devastating ones.
We usually think of happiness as everyone’s ultimate goal, but the truth is, there are a lot of other things people want from life weren’t and from relationships.
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.

Thank you ….Despite what we see in the movies, love does not conquer all.
Relationships take a lot to work, and, while love plays a big role in them, there are many other factors that need to be considered.
When it comes to a healthy relationship, there is so much more involved that the heart-stopping joy of being with the one you love…
Being in love is a blessing, but it’s not always enough to save a relationship.
Healthy romances require much more than love, and it’s easy to see why when you think about it.
No matter how much you love each other, it won’t always keep you together.
You might have thought everything would work out if someone loved you enough. Likewise, you might have experienced an unhappy relationship but were afraid to leave because of being in love. These situations often happen because many think love is the leading factor in relationship length.
You’ll be unhappy if you think you can love someone enough to make the relationship work.
You won’t find happiness until you focus on what’s best for you and your relationship. There’s so much to finding the best romance for you; being in love is only one aspect.
Learning why being in love might not save a relationship can help you understand why something doesn’t feel right. In addition to love, a good relationship also must have the following:
Trust
Respect
Communication
Honesty
Commitment
Do you want to add a word or two?….
Love is described as “a feeling of strong or constant affection for a person.
But is that all love is, just a feeling of strong affection for someone?
It sure seems like it’s more than that when another person is invading your every thought or your world is falling apart after the person you love leaves you.
What about devotion?
Shouldn’t that be part of the definition of love?
And what happens when that love and devotion isn’t enough?
What if you gave everything you had and it still didn’t work out?
Your comments ….
Anyone who’s ever been in love knows how powerful the feeling is. Scientifically, the experience of falling for someone has been compared to a physical high— giving truth to the saying, “love is a drug.” It’s intoxicating to feel seen and wanted by another person.
But is this all-consuming love enough to sustain a relationship for the long haul?
And maybe more importantly… should it be?
Sometimes love just isn’t enough to make it work.
t’s a common knowledge that relationship aren’t built on love alone.
They require constant nurturing, respect, trust and open communication. However, it is easier said than done as people struggle to get these basic elements right and may end up ruining even a potentially perfect relationship.
You can love someone deep in your heart but may not be able to make it work because of several factors. We tend to take people and things for granted when they come easily to us.
You can ignore somebody’s presence or not take efforts to communicate because you feel that person isn’t going anywhere.
You may also fail to make compromises for your loved one when they need it the most simply because you are not willing to come out of your comfort zone.
What comes to mind when you think about relationships?
You probably think about love and happiness. However, if you talk to couples who have been married for decades, you will probably find that they have a different view of relationships.
