Beneath those sweet nothings
"I love you because I love you"
"I love you because you complete me"
"I love you because you love me"
People answer these statements when asked why they love their partners -- vague yet full of emotions. And these I think are several of the reasons why people tend to fall out of love.
General answers that make ones heart happy basically uplifts your loved ones spirit, reassuring him or her that he or she is secured with you. But what about factors such as communication, trust, loyalty? Does love overpower such factors?
Many relationships have crashed due to the lack of communication. Communication as they say bridges gaps, may it be short or long distances, of lovers who are living apart. The "i miss you" never gets as heart felt as it should be when you don't hear it from your special someone. Even the "i love you's" sound music to ones ears when a distant special someone calls or even texts.
But, happy as it may seem, over communication still doe not work for a relationship. Possessiveness comes into play rather than care, for people especially men who wants it as simple as possible. As they say, "Let the fireworks come after marriage".
As for trust and loyalty, these qualities are pre-requisites of good communication. Without trust there will be doubts, and with doubts communication falls apart. Loyalty, on the other hand, is the fruit of trust. When you trust your loved one, your loved one gives back loyalty. And as long as trust is around, loyalty and communication will also be there.
See, there should also be something underneath those sweet nothings for if not they will just be empty contracts -- assuring of nothing, not even love.
